THE ALL-NEW MV AGUSTA RUSH 1000

Created on the basis of the Brutale 1000 RR, the MV Agusta Rush embodies the unique and irreverent appeal associated with drag racing bikes, engineered to offer huge thrills over just a few hundred metres, and strictly controlled by the stopwatch.

The only production bike utilizing radial valves and titanium connecting rods to assist in developing 208 hp in standard road homologation form (over 212 hp with non-homologated exhaust and updated ECU).  The boundaries of the maxi-naked bike sector have been shattered, crossing into the exclusive world of the hyper-naked motorcycle, where performance and confidence-inspiring control are paramount.

Born as an exercise in style, celebrating the technical and stylistic evolution that created the new Brutale 1000 RR, production of the Rush 1000 is scheduled to begin in the next few months.

The stylistic and technical choices are consistently aimed at underlining the brief that defined this model, unique in terms of both technology and quality. It is a truly exclusive motorcycle, intended for an audience that does not fear original choices and individuality. There is a specific technical content, which accentuates and emphasizes the technology that is at the center of the design of this bike.

The front headlight unit, inspired by that of the exclusive RVS #1, offers a specific design and is distinguished with the technology implemented: it boasts is a Full LED unit with cornering function, designed to increase active safety and improve driving pleasure. The headlight support and the circular frame are in light CNC machined alloys, to enhance the design and functionality. The back cover of the optical unit is made of carbon fiber, a material also chosen for the minimalist passenger seat cover, as well as for the side panels of the tail. The tank cap is made of aluminum and is also CNC machined.

An exemplary element that defines the inspiration behind this model is the rear enclosed wheel, a typical configuration found on drag strips: the rear rim in forged aluminum is concealed by a carbon fiber cover, designed to obtain the best aerodynamic performance. The fixing nut of the single sided rear wheel is in CNC machined aluminum alloy. To reduce visual weight and contrast the front wheel is spoked.

The rear tailpiece, passenger seat area and integration of the rear light unit have been specially designed for this vehicle. An exclusive specific exhaust system, has been hand-crafted from titanium with a carbon fiber heat shield. The mapping of the control unit is specific for the exhaust system, so as to make the delivery linear and obtain exemplary power values.

More original than ever, the Rush 1000 boasts the technology and driving dynamics of the Brutale 1000 RR. The four-cylinder in-line engine with integrated MVICS ignition-injection system (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) has 8 injectors, 4 lower Mikuni and 4 upper Magneti Marelli with increased flow rate. The Eldor EM2.0 engine control unit intervenes on the throttle body full ride by wire Mikuni; the pencil-coil coils are equipped with “ion-sensing” technology, detonation and mismatch control. There are four engine management maps (Sport, Race, Rain, Custom), while the disengageable traction control has 8 intervention levels and wheelie control with an inertial platform. The MV EAS 2.1 (Electronically Assisted Shift Up & Down) transmission system without friction has been further improved in terms of ease of use and speed of action. Technological features of the four-cylinder in-line, include the new crankshaft and the redesigned and lighter pistons. The completely revised combustion chamber has radial valves and was designed using the technology from Formula 1. The titanium connecting rods, derived from competition experience exploit MotoGP technical parameters and contribute decisively to reducing masses, loads and engine inertia. Again from the World MotoGP comes the choice of the central distribution chain, which is also traditional for MV Agusta: mitigating the effects of the camshaft twist at high rpm.

The suspension (fork, shock absorber and steering damper) utilize the Öhlins EC units with electronic management of the compression and extension hydraulics; this system allows you to choose between predefined configurations and manual settings, so as to enhance the chassis based on the rider’s preferences and the course conditions.

The special kit combined with the bike includes a rich package of components that make the Rush 1000 even more precious and exclusive.

Creating, recording and sharing every journey in the seat of your Rush 1000 couldn’t be easier with the MV Ride App, which opens up a world of opportunities. For example you can customize the motorcycle’s electronics with just a few touches on your smartphone. If you want to share the best riding experiences, all you have to do is click… Navigation functions can also be easily accessed via mirroring on the dash with the MV Ride App.

Highlights of the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX motorcycle:

NEW Enhanced chassis orientation awareness technology featuring Bosch IMU

NEW Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF)

NEW Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-Lock Brake System (KIBS)

NEW Windshield and fairings

NEW Ergonomically comfortable seat

NEW ECU tuning
 

ENGINE

Exhilarating power from the 1,043 cc, inline 4-cylinder engine

NEW Electronic throttle valves

Improved throttle response that is both quick and smooth

A powerful 1,043 cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke in-line four-cylinder engine pulls strongly from all rpm.  Adding to rider exhilaration, the engine delivers superb engine response, a strong mid-range hit and an powerful intake howl. New electronic throttle valves were added to enable the ECU to control the volume of both the fuel through the fuel injectors and air through the throttle valves delivered to the engine providing smooth response and ideal output. The electronic throttle valve system locates the accelerator position on the handlebar, eliminating the throttle cable. To provide a natural feel, friction is used to simulate the feel of a throttle cable. The fuel injection and electronic throttle valve settings mean response is both quick and smooth which helps the rider maintain control when riding at low speeds while also contributing to the sport riding potential of the Ninja 1000SX.

Camshaft profiles were revised to reduce tappet noise and the intake funnels have been changed, meaning shorter intake funnels for the first and fourth cylinders, which matches the exhaust layout and leads to cleaner emissions. The Ninja 1000SX features a cool air system which routes cool air to the airbox through ducts at the front of the side fairings, minimizing performance loss due to heated air intake.

The Ninja 1000SX features many enhancements that allow for a smoother engine feeling. One major feature is the secondary balancer on the engine crankshaft, which helps to reduce vibration.

An all-new exhaust system has a header pipe configuration, which contributes to a sportier appearance. Joint pipes linking the exhaust headers merge into the single collector contribute to increased feeling and response at all rpm. Three-way catalyzers in the exhaust collector complement the revised engine mapping.

Assist & Slipper Clutch

Complementing the transmission is an Assist & Slipper clutch, race-inspired technology that offers both a back-torque limiting function as well as a light feel at the lever.

The Assist function is noticed by the lighter pull at the clutch lever, helping to reduce rider fatigue especially in stop and go traffic situations.

The Slipper function is noticed when excessive engine braking occurs as a result of quick or
accidental downshifts. The slipper cam comes into play, forcing the
clutch hub and operating plate apart, which relieves pressure on the clutch plates to reduce back-torque and help prevent the rear tire from hopping and skidding.

CHASSIS

Highly rigid aluminum frame

Combination of solid and rubber engine mounts for reduced vibration and excellent handling characteristics

Thanks to a rigid, lightweight aluminum frame and compact engine design, the weight is not only low and centered inside the motorcycle, but the overall profile is slim. This centralization allows for sharp handling, neutral steering and a light turn-in. Lightweight and highly rigid, the frame uses the engine as a stressed member.

The frame is a five-piece cast aluminum construction, consisting of a steering stem, left and right main frames, and two cross pieces. The front part of the rear frame is an example of form and function combined, allowing the side covers to be eliminated. This also allows the width under the seat to be narrower, offering riders a shorter reach to the ground.

SUSPENSION

41mm front inverted forks

NEW Low speed damping pistons for smoother fork action over bumps

Front and rear adjustability

The Ninja 1000SX features 41mm inverted front forks with stepless compression and rebound damping and spring preload adjustability. New for 2020, a low-speed slit was added to the damping pistons to help relieve negative pressure that builds up during compression and results in a smoother fork action over bumps. Fine-tuned settings offer both sporty performance and comfort, which contribute to light handling on city streets and on winding roads.

The horizontal back link rear suspension positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm, allowing for greater mass centralization. The rear shock features rebound and preload adjustability, with a remote preload adjuster facilitating setting changes to suit tandem riding, luggage or rider preference. This is ideal for quick adjustability when traveling.

ELECTRONICS

NEW Electronic Cruise Control

NEW Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS)

NEW Integrated Riding Modes

Bosch IMU with 6-axis of measurements

Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF)

Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS)

Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC)

Power Mode selection

The strength of Kawasaki’s cutting-edge electronics has always been the highly sophisticated programming that uses minimal hardware to give the ECU an accurate real-time picture of what the chassis is doing and what the rider wants, to best support the rider’s inputs with a natural feel. Using the latest evolution of Kawasaki’s advanced modeling software, including input from a compact Bosch IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF) monitors engine and chassis parameters throughout the corner to assist riders in holding their intended line through the corner. The Ninja 1000SX motorcycle utilizes the input from multiple sensors to optimize ride quality via the Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC), and the Kawasaki Intelligent Anti-Lock Braking System (KIBS).

INTEGRATED RIDING MODES

The Ninja 1000SX is equipped with four integrated riding modes that combine both KTRC and Power Modes that efficiently set traction control and power delivery for the given riding situation. The settings are Sport, Road, Rain or Rider (manual) and while the first three settings are fixed, in Rider mode, the systems can be set independently. As conditions change the riding mode can be adjusted while riding.

ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL

The Ninja 1000SX is equipped with electronic cruise control, which improves the overall comfort for those long days on the road. The cruise control system enables riders to set and maintain their desired speed with the simple press of a button. Once activated, the rider does not have to constantly apply the throttle to maintain speed. The cruise control helps to reduce rider fatigue when traveling long distances, allowing the rider to relax and enjoy cruising, contributing to a high level of riding comfort.

KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER (KQS)

The Ninja 1000SX features a highly reliable contactless-type quick shifter that allows for ultra quick, full power upshifts and seamless acceleration. The system detects that the shift lever has been actuated, and sends a signal to the ECU to cut ignition so that the next gear can be engaged for clutchless shifting.

ERGONOMICS

NEW Wider fairings and taller double-bubble windshield

NEW Five-way adjustable clutch lever

NEW Mirrors for increased visibility

NEW Ergonomically comfortable seat for rider and passenger

The relatively upright position, compared to supersport models, offers both comfort and confidence for riders. Separate, raised clip-ons are mounted on top of the forks, for relaxed arm position, while maintaining a sporty and comfortable riding position.

A new five-way adjustable clutch lever can be set to suit the size of the rider’s hands, aiding in rider comfort. Mirrors are positioned farther outward and have a greater range of movement, offering easier adjustability.

Both rider and passenger seats deliver increased comfort, thanks to a new, more dense type of urethane padding used in the construction of the seats. Dampers on the underside of the seat also help reduce vibration. Ergonomically sculpted passenger grips are easy to hold and naturally positioned, contributing to even more passenger comfort

The fairing design also covers part of the frame, contributing to a good ergonomic fit and helping to protect the rider from engine heat for added comfort.

BRAKES/WHEELS/TIRES

300 mm front discs with four-piston radial mount calipers

Lightweight six-spoke wheels

NEW Bridgestone BATTALAX HYPERSPORT S22 tires

The Ninja 1000SX features two large, 300 mm front brake discs that are gripped by opposed four-piston radial-mount monobloc calipers. The upper pistons in the caliper are 32 mm while the lower pistons measure 30 mm. The front brake offers a firm initial touch and the level of braking force is easily controlled offering superb braking performance. The rear brake features a single piston, pin slide caliper that grips a 250 mm disc. The rear caliper features a torque rod and is mounted below the swingarm to add to the sporty image of the Ninja 1000SX. Braking functions are assisted by the Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Braking System (KIBS). This supersport-grade brake management system uses high-precision control to regulate brake pressure during sporty riding.

Bridgestone’s latest sport tires, the BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S22, are mounted on lightweight six-spoke wheels. The new tires contribute to the lighter handling of the Ninja 1000SX, while offering enhanced grip in both wet and dry conditions.

STYLING

Supersport-style full fairing bodywork

NEW Single-sided muffler

NEW LED headlights and taillights

NEW Three-piece side fairing construction 

NEW Supersport-style front fender

Supersport-style full-fairing bodywork gives the Ninja 1000SX motorcycle a distinct, head-turning look. The sleek styling also offers a good measure of wind protection, helping to reduce rider fatigue. The chin spoilers similar to those on the Ninja H2™ and Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycles strengthen the Ninja® resemblance along with the longer design of the under cowl to give a more dynamic appearance.

A new more stylish windshield is set at a more upright angle and is adjustable to four positions ranging from sporty to maximum wind protection. No tools are required to adjust the windshield, simply depress the windshield release button below the instrument panel.

Turn signals are built into to the fairings to aid in the slim profile and sporty look. Supersport-style front fender contributes to both aerodynamics and racy looks. The sharp, compact design of the LED headlamps contributes to a fierce expression and combines with built-in front turn signals and compact rear turn signals. Red LED bulbs behind a smoked lens adds a touch of class to the tail cowl. A single-sided muffler contributes to a much sportier look, while the swingarm features eccentric axle adjusters, contributing to the Ninja 1000SX motorcycle’s Kawasaki identity.

The Kawasaki Genuine Accessory KQR saddlebags can be easily mounted by simply sliding them onto the slots on the grips and because the elegant mounting system does not use cumbersome mounting brackets, the rear of the bike looks clean and sharp when the saddlebags are removed. The mounting system positions the saddlebags close to the bike’s centerline keeping a well-integrated look with the rear of the bike that also facilitates navigating urban spaces. The saddlebags can each hold a full-face helmet and feature a one-key system means that the bags are conveniently unlocked and removed with the ignition key.

Featuring a new strengthened frame, the 2020 Kawasaki Z900 motorcycle’s potent 948cc engine shines through the sharper Sugomi™ styling and minimal bodywork. Its style reflects its purpose. The improved trellis frame is complemented with improved suspension settings to let you experience the Z900 like never before. The front and rear suspension settings have been revised to match the new frame.

The new Z900 rewards the rider with crisp, smooth response and exhilarating acceleration at every twist of the throttle. Complementing the engine are a handful of new electronic features for 2020, including KTRC, power and integrated riding mode selection, and smartphone connectivity.

Highlights of the 2020 Z900:

                  Exciting 948 cc inline four-cylinder engine

NEW strengthened frame

                  NEW improved suspension settings

                  NEW Sugomi™-inspired Z styling

                  NEW KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control)

                  NEW Power Mode and integrated Riding Modes selection

                  NEW Smartphone Connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP
ENGINE

The liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve 948cc inline four-cylinder engine offers impressive power and strong torque. Designed to complement the chassis, with a lightweight, strong engine with plenty of torque, the 73.4 x 56.0 mm bore and stroke create an engine design that exemplifies the thrill of acceleration.

Silky smooth response from mid-high rpm provides excellent driveability, with hard-hitting power delivery above 6,000 rpm. Good over-rev characteristics mean that power does not drop off suddenly at high rpm.

Four individual 36mm throttle bodies offer ideal mid-range power and the sub-throttles ensure smooth, sensitive throttle response. The downdraft throttle body layout creates the shortest distance possible for the fuel-air mixture, contributing to performance.

The manufacturing process used for the pistons on the Z900 motorcycle utilizes technology found on Kawasaki’s premiere supercharged sportbikes, the Ninja H2™ and Ninja H2™R motorcycles. Lightweight and rigid, the pistons are formed using a unique casting process (similar to a forging process) that scrapes unnecessary material to achieve the ideal thickness. This enables a lightweight piston, on par with forged pistons.

Engineers used “sound research” in creating the intake layout. This results in a mix of performance techniques and enhanced intake noise. Inside of the upward mounted airbox are varying length intake runners, with the two outside cylinders being longer than the inside two. This results in a tuning that helps both low and top end power output and provides an exhilarating intake noise during large amounts of throttle input. Twist the throttle and all of the rider’s senses are activated.

The exhaust system features a four-into-one layout, with joint pipes linking the exhaust headers (headers 1-4, 2-3 are linked) contributing to strong mid-range torque. The silencer’s dual-chamber internal construction contributes to performance as well as the exhaust note.

Use of stainless steel material on the end-cap and silencer cover adds a high-quality feel, while contributing to a stylish design that looks compact and light.

TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH

Short gear ratios for first through fifth gears contribute to the Z900 motorcycle’s strong acceleration in the rpm range used in everyday riding, while sixth gear is a true overdrive gear.

The Assist and Slipper clutch on the Z900 borrows from engineering knowledge learned on the race track and from the Ninja H2™R and Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycles. The clutch uses two types of cams (an assist cam and a slipper cam).

When the engine is operating at normal rpm the assist cam functions as a self-servo mechanism, pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together to compress the clutch plates.  This allows the total clutch spring load to be reduced, resulting in a lighter clutch lever pull when operating the clutch.

When excessive engine braking occurs the slipper cam comes into play, forcing the clutch hub and operating plate apart.  This relieves pressure on the clutch plates to reduce back-torque and help prevent the rear tire from hopping and skidding during quick deceleration.

KTRC (KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL)

The Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) featured on the Z900 motorcycle has three modes for riders to choose from. Mode 1 is the least intrusive with sport riding in mind, Mode 2 offers earlier intervention and is a balance of sport riding support and enhanced rider confidence, and Mode 3 is the most intrusive by allowing riders to navigate challenging road conditions with confidence. This enables optimal performance for a wide range of riding conditions, offering either enhanced sport riding performance or more peace of mind to negotiate a variety of surfaces with confidence. Kawasaki’s advanced modeling software, complemented by input from the IMU, delivers this one of a kind precise control. The system can also be turned off if riders elect to do so.

POWER & INTEGRATED RIDING MODE SELECTION

The Z900 motorcycle allows riders to choose from Full Power or Low Power modes, setting power delivery to suit preference and conditions. Low Power mode limits output to approximately 55% of Full Power and uses a milder throttle response. Reduction in both power and throttle response varies according to engine speed and throttle position.

All-inclusive modes that link KTRC and Power Modes allow for riders to efficiently set traction control and power delivery to suit a given riding situation with a single adjustment. Riders can choose from three settings: Sport, Road, or Rain. The Sport setting enables riders to enjoy sporty riding with minimal intrusion from Kawasaki’s advanced electronic rider support package. The Road setting provides comfortable riding characteristics over a wide range of situations, from city riding to highway cruising and rural roads. The Rain setting offers rider reassurance when riding on a low-traction surface. The riding mode can be changed while riding, using a button located on the left side of the handlebars.

CHASSIS 

         NEW stronger trellis frame

         NEW revised front and rear suspension settings

The light weight of the Z900 is noticeable as soon as you snap the kick stand up. The chassis is a new, high-tensile steel, twin-spar, trellis frame that features revisions made to add strength to the swingarm pivot area.

The frame was designed to have the fewest bends possible, allowing for a chassis that disperses stress extremely well. The frame design also keeps weight to a minimum.

The engine is rigid-mounted in five points, aiding in the Z900’s nimble handling. Twin-tube type rear frame contributes to the bike’s low seat height with easy reach to the ground.

Up front is a pair of 41mm inverted front forks which feature stepless rebound damping and spring preload adjustability. Adjustment is via the conveniently located fork top caps. The fork settings were updated to match the new frame.

Horizontal-backed linked rear suspension positions the shock unit and linkage above the lightweight aluminum swing arm. This arrangement contributes to mass centralization, while ensuring that the suspension is located far enough from the exhaust that operation is not affected by heat. The rear shock is also adjustable, featuring rebound and preload adjustability. Shock settings were updated to match the new frame and offer both sporty performance and comfort.

WHEELS, TIRES AND BRAKES

            NEW Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires

The Z900 motorcycle features dual 300mm front petal disc brakes and a 250mm rear petal brake with ABS. This contributes to the high level of quality and sportiness. Dual opposed four-piston calipers with resin brake pads offer a linear brake touch, facilitating control for the rider.

Stylish star-pattern five-spoke wheels contribute to light weight and quality appearance, while their high rigidity benefits handling. The wheels are mounted to new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires, contributing to the Z900’s superb handling character.

STYLING

NEW compact, sharper Z Sugomi styling

NEW LED headlamp

The Z900 maintains its distinctive Sugomi design elements that consist of a crouching stance, low-positioned head and upswept tail. For 2020, the eye-catching styling benefits include a number of updates that make its aggressive design even sharper. New shrouds, fuel tank cover, under cowls, and the silver swingarm pivot cover are all more compact, contributing to a sharper image.

A new LED headlamp consists of LED position lamps that give it an image distinct from Kawasaki’s other Z supernaked models. The position lamps have a textured surface that allows them to be shown as a whole illuminated shape. The new design is more compact with sharper edges.

LED lighting is used to illuminate the headlamp, position lamps, taillight, and license pate lamp. The turn signals feature bulb-type lighting.

HIGH-GRADE COCKPIT

NEW 4.3” TFT color instrumentation

A new, large 4.3” all-digital TFT color instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech and high-grade appearance. The new instrumentation offers additional features that were unavailable on the previous model. The high-grade full color display features TFT (thin-film transistor) technology, helping deliver a high level of visibility. A selectable background color is offered (black or white) and screen brightness automatically switches between three rider-set levels to suit available light.

Display functions include: digital speedometer, digital bar-style tachometer, gear position indicator, shift lamp, fuel gage, odometer, dual trip meters, current and average fuel consumption, remaining range, average speed, total time, coolant temperature, clock, battery voltage, Kawasaki service reminder, oil change reminder, riding mode indicator, smartphone call and mail notices, Bluetooth indicator, and economical riding indicator.

SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY

Another new feature for 2020 is the addition of Smartphone Connectivity to the Z900. A Bluetooth® chip built into the instrument panel enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly.

Adventure is reinforced in Suzuki’s DNA with bolder styling and updated technology featuring legendary race livery. The GSX-S1000, GSX-S1000F, and Burgman 400 also return for 2020.

Brea, CA (November 5, 2019) – Suzuki’s legacy of premium adventure touring performance and reliability is revitalized for 2020, making a bigger and bolder statement for riders around the world with the all-new V-STROM 1050 series.

This new adventurer provides riders the ability to go beyond limits with sharper styling, a more aggressive design, and advanced technological updates.

Inspired by the legendary DR-Z800 Dakar Rally bike that proved Suzuki could take on the planet’s most rigorous off-road event and the DR800S, also known as the DR-Big, that was powerful and nimble for its size, the new generation of V-STROM 1050 models share similar characteristics with its distinct design and electrifying colors that harken back to its historical race livery.

Whether on- or-off road, commuting, or sport-riding, the all-new V-STROM is poised to help riders master their own adventure.

For 2020, riders can also experience the joy of the open road on the V-STROM 1050XT Adventure with travel-ready capabilities including a set of aluminum panniers and heated grips that help keep them prepared for any conditions. Suzuki’s strong, established community of V-Strom riders are sure to seek new territory with its wide array of accessories and improved technology.

Above the new, vibration-damping tapered aluminum handlebar is the V-STROM’s all-new, multifunction instrument panel that presents all required information and rider necessities on a full LCD screen via a clean and intuitive layout.

Updates complemented by expanded lineup of accessories

November 4, 2019 — TORRANCE, Calif.

American Honda announced today that its small-displacement cruisers receive a number of important updates for 2020. Already the industry’s top-selling small-displacement cruiser models, the Rebel 500 and Rebel 300 have welcomed throngs of new riders to motorcycling, thanks to an affordable price, user-friendly performance and hip design (highlighted by an iconic peanut-shaped tank, fat tires and blacked-out mechanical components). Now, with an increased focus on styling, comfort and performance, the models are even better, and an expanded accessories lineup provides customers the opportunity to further personalize their bikes—a key ingredient to the sense of freedom, enjoyment and individuality that comes with being a motorcyclist.

“The Rebel 500 and 300 are great examples of the sense of freedom that draws so many of us to motorcycling, which is why they’re the choice of new riders who want a fun ride but aren’t willing to sacrifice style,” said Chris Cox, American Honda’s Manager of Experiential Marketing/Public Relations. “With key updates to the 2020 model and an expanded suite of accessories, these models will deliver even more independence and enjoyment.”

REBEL 500 / REBEL 300

Already known for their user-friendly performance and ability to deftly navigate city streets, the Rebel 500 and Rebel 300 now have an assist-slipper clutch that reduces clutch-lever effort by 30% while also offering additional control under deceleration. A new fork with stiffer spring rates and revised oil levels delivers improved handling for when those city streets turn to twisting backroads, while an updated shock with stiffer spring rates provides similar levels of support. An improved meter provides important information such as gear selection and fuel level, while a seat with updated thickness and density offers increased support. A repositioned and reshaped LED headlight is paired to new LED turn signals and a redesigned LED taillight, further enhancing the stylish looks of the two models. The Rebel 500 is powered by a 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with strong bottom-end torque and a smooth, linear power delivery, and the Rebel 300 has a 286cc single-cylinder engine with strong character and user-friendly power delivery.

Pricing: TBD

Availability: March 2020

Colors

Rebel 500: Matte Armored Silver, Graphite Black, Matte Blue Jeans Metallic

During the same announcement, Honda welcomed a strong lineup of returning motorcycles for 2020, including models in the cruiser, adventure, dual-sport and scooter categories:

FURY

The problem with most motorcycles with an appearance as extreme as the Fury® is that their beauty is only skin deep, but this bike has the same fit, finish, functionality, affordability, quality and reliability that are built into every Honda. Boasting a robust exhaust note that fits perfectly with its head-turning looks, the Fury is pure, undiluted chopper essence.
