HONDA Rebel 250 CMX250C (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C, an entry-level cruiser motorcycle that carried on the proven air-cooled quarter-liter recipe used by the Honda Nighthawk 250 standard model.

Along with a two-up seat that added more practicality and convenience to the built, the bike was capable of reaching highway speeds and was offered as an ideal entry-point machine for those riders who wanted to know better the cruiser world.

The bike was built around a semi-double cradle frame that offered a long wheelbase and a very low seating position, fitted on the front end with a hydraulic fork and rectangular-section swingarm with dual shock absorbers and five-position spring preload adjustability on the rear.

As for braking performance, the bike rolled on a set of wire-spoked wheels fitted with a 240 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper on the front, and a drum unit on the rear that provided optimum braking power.

The power generator of the 2013 Honda Rebel 250 CMX250C was a 234cc four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 19 hp at 8,250 rpm and 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) of torque with maximum strength at 5,500 rpm.

In the visual department, the bike came with a custom-styled chrome-plated headlight case, chrome-plated taillight housing, chrome-plated turn signal housings, simple instrumentation, and a maintenance-free battery.
