In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C, a comfortable and stylish motorcycle introduced as a nifty entry-level cruiser that retained the full attire of the larger machines, with solid confidence, while being extremely easy to operate.
The bike featured a low seating position that made sure even smaller riders could easily reach the ground once the bike stopped, while the lightweight construction also fitted well female riders. The user-friendly combination of lightweight and comfortable size made the bike one of the favorite choices for young riders who were looking for an easy-to-handle cruiser.
Some key features of the bike included the semi-double cradle frame that offered a long wheelbase and a very low seat height, a wide 15-inch rear tire, wire-spoked wheels with chromed rims, a pulled back handlebar, a teardrop fuel tank, a two-piece custom-styled seat, and an O-ring-sealed chain for increased durability.
For suspension, the bike packed a 33 mm telescopic fork on the front that offered 12 cm of wheel travel and dual shock absorbers with five-position spring preload adjustability on the rear that offered seven cm of wheel travel.
As for braking performance, the bike featured a single disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a drum unit on the rear that provided optimum braking power.
In the performance department, the 2008 Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C was powered by a 234cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that ran smoothly and quietly but was also economical and easy to maintain.
