CMX500 Rebel – 25YM

Accessible, easy to ride and easy to live with, the CMX500 Rebel goes its own way but also acts as blank canvas, ready for whatever its owner’s imagination has in store. It receives further updates for 25YM to keep it fresh, plus a revised palette of standard paint choices, as well as super-cool exclusive colour for the ‘S’ Edition.

Model Overview

The Rebel has been designed to be a slim motorcycle with a low seat height making it easy, and unintimidating to manage at low speeds. The riding position is relaxed and neutral, with gently outstretched arms matched to mid-mounted footpegs. Alongside visual paint upgrades, updates for 25YM focus on rider comfort: the seat material is new, whilst the handlebar position has been optimised, and the rear shock bump stop rubbers re-shaped. Also, the LCD display is now more visible in bright light.

The CMX500 Rebel’s tubular steel frame draws fresh, contemporary lines into stripped-back, fat-tyred ‘bobber’ style. Blacked out to the maximum, with the minimum of paint, it switches from solo-only to pillion-possible via two bolts.
