The Honda Rebel 1100 is a new addition to the company’s Cruiser family, joining the Rebel 300 and Rebel 500. It’s more powerful and pricier than its Rebel stablemates. The bike was designed with a “relax and excite” theme, which is meant to appeal to a variety of rider types.
It has a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio. The motorcycle is powered by a 1,084cc twin-cyclone engine. That’s the same power plant that is in Honda’s African Twin. Honda offers the engine with an available dual-clutch transmission (DCT) that allows for automatic or manual shifting. Operators can change gears via handlebar-mounted buttons. They can also choose between Standard, Sport, and Rain drive modes.
Buyers can customize their bike thanks to the company’s roster of accessories that range from minimalist to touring-focused equipment.
The 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 is scheduled to arrive at dealerships in January. Purchasers can choose from a Metallic Black or Bordeaux Red Metallic paint job. The Rebel 1100 with a manual transmission sells for $9,299 while the DCT version has a starting price of $9,999.
