2026 Honda® Rebel 1100 Touring Base

2026 Honda® Rebel 1100 Touring

The Honda Rebel 1100 Touring is cruising defined: its low seat height, relaxed riding positions and the easy-to-ride torque ticks all the boxes for serious cruiser riders. On the other hand, when you take the Honda Rebel 1100 Touring down a twisty road and open up the throttle, you’ll find that its modern power and handling leaves most traditional cruisers in the dust. And then there’s the styling: a fresh, clean, and contemporary look won’t ever get you confused with the cruisers of old. This is a bike for today’s rider. Plus, every Honda Rebel 1100 Touring motorcycle comes equipped with our anti-lock brake system, cruise control, Honda RoadSync smartphone integration* and you can choose between our automatic DCT transmission or a conventional six-speed manual. Finally, because we all like to personalize our rides, we offer an extensive line of Honda accessories for both bikes.

Features may include:

• Torque Monster

The Rebel 1100 Touring 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 Touring

To give the Rebel 1100 Touring 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.

• Riding Modes

The Rebel features three riding modes (Standard, Sport, Rain) plus a User mode. These modes adjust the Power, Engine Braking, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Wheelie Control and even the shift pattern on the DCT, allowing you to personalize your ride to your style and the road conditions.

• Available DCT Transmission

The Rebel 1100 Touring looks like no other cruiser out there, and it’s engineered like no other cruiser, either. Case in point: the available Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), a first for a cruiser motorcycle. The DCT is an automated manual transmission, built with the same operating principals of a manual transmission but shifts automatically, allowing you to enjoy the ride without having to worry about the clutch or gears. The Rebel offers three automatic modes to tune the shifting to your style of riding. Want more control? Use the paddle shift buttons to override the automatic gear selection or put in manual mode for full control.

• Available Six-Speed Manual Transmission

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

• Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and Wheelie 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 Touring comes equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which inhibits rear-wheel slip while cornering or accelerating. When 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.
