New addition to the Malaysian middleweight cruiser market is the 2020 Honda Rebel, priced at RM32,899. Pricing excludes road tax, insurance and registration and there are three colour options available – Matte Armoured Silver Metallic, Graphite Black and new for this year, Matte Jeans Blue Metallic.
Also new is the 120 mm shotgun exhaust that is Euro 4 compliant. Tipping a hat to modders and customisers, the Rebel now has an easily removable pillion pad and rear pegs to ease custom work.
Carrying the 471 cc, liquid-cooled two cylinder from the previous generation Rebel, the engine is now tuned for more torque at low revs and falls under Euro 4 standards. Fed by PGM-Fi, the Rebel produces a claimed 45.59 hp at 8,500 rpm and 43.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Revised is the front fork and the twin Showa shock absorbers which now come with nitrogen reservoirs and tuned for better ride comfort. LED lighting is used throughout, including the indicators.
The instrument panel is a minimalist 100 mm diameter LCD unit with white backlight and comes with gear indicator and fuel consumption readout. Braking is with a single hydraulic disc front and rear and ABS is standard.
An extensive range of accessories for the Rebel is available from the Honda catalogue and includes items such as alternate seats, saddle bags, pillion seat backrest, cowls and engine covers. The 2020 Honda Rebel is available immediately at all Honda Big Wing dealers in Malaysia.

LOL people are waiting or winner x and adv 150 for a year plus already but they launch the big bike only hahahaha. Kempunan wei nak beli ADV 150
hmm… from RM 32399 to 32899… increase RM 500
very odd looking easy rider. Rarely seen in the roads.
This is a great alternative if you are looking for a proper solid and reliable cruiser but don’t want to be bogged down by the usual heavy weight and clumsiness of those american cruisers.
at RM32899, it is not cheap, but compared to those Harleys, it is a good and very affordable. Great starting cruiser if anyone is interested.
The only competitors i could think of are Kawasaki Vulcan or Benelli 502c. But netiher they has the same flair of a Rebel.
