Features may include:

• Torque Monster

The Rebel 1100 uses a modified version of the 1,084 cc, liquid-cooled engine that powers the acclaimed Africa Twin, ensuring arm-pulling acceleration from low speeds and impressive top-end performance. The engine’s parallel-twin configuration and Unicam cylinder head contribute to the bike’s overall low centre of gravity and optimum mass centralization, which help produce stable, road-hugging, confident handling.

• Tuned for Cruising

To give the Rebel 1100 its unique cruiser personality, valve timing and lift and even ignition timing were modified from Africa Twin spec, while flywheel mass was boosted 20 percent to increase inertia. The 270-degree crankshaft features uneven firing intervals that produce the powerful engine pulses that make riding a big-twin cruiser so much fun.

• Assist Slipper Clutch

The Rebel 1100 uses a conventional six-speed manual gearbox with an assist slipper clutch. Developed and perfected in Honda’s racing machines, the clutch produces a lighter pull at the lever and helps to prevent rear-wheel lock up on downshifts.

• Ultimate Control

Exploring new roads is one of the true joys of motorcycle cruising. Because you can’t always be sure of optimum weather or road conditions, the Rebel 1100 comes equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which inhibits rear-wheel slip while cornering or accelerating. If the rear tire loses traction on a slippery road surface, HSTC instantly kicks in and suppresses engine torque. The amount of torque control can be selected in three steps, and the system can also be disabled. The Rebel 1100’s advanced electronics also incorporate a wheelie-control system to inhibit front-wheel lift under acceleration.

• Controlled Ride

The Rebel’s 43 mm cartridge-type front fork is coated in a dark titanium oxide that complements the bike’s evocative blacked-out styling. Classic “piggyback” style twin rear shocks not only look the business, they also ensure consistent damping force for a controlled, comfortable ride over all types of road surfaces. Spring preload adjustment lets you calibrate suspension performance to your personal preference, or to take into account a passenger or the added weight of luggage.

• ABS Stopping Power

The Rebel 1100 goes hard, no question, and it also stops with authority thanks to its large-diameter disc brakes equipped with ABS. A monoblock radial-mount caliper squeezes a 330 mm floating rotor up front, while a 256 mm rear rotor provides balanced stopping force at the rear.

• Go Big

A big cruiser demands big tires, and the Rebel 1100 delivers with a fat 130/70-18 front tire and a beefy 180/65-16 rear tire. Both are mounted on Y-shape, five-spoke wheels that provide optimum rigidity and handling.
