Honda CMX1100 Rebel
Classic Cruiser Style. Modern Honda Performance.
The Honda CMX1100 Rebel brings together laid-back cruiser styling, strong twin-cylinder performance and modern Honda technology in a package that's built to be ridden.
At its heart is a muscular 1,084cc parallel-twin engine, delivering strong torque from low in the rev range and right through the mid-range. Pair that with a traditional 6-speed manual transmission, low 710mm seat, selectable riding modes, traction control and cruise control, and you've got a cruiser that's just as enjoyable on winding roads as it is cruising through town.
It's relaxed when you want it to be – and ready to move when you open the throttle.
Torquey 1,084cc Parallel-Twin Engine
The CMX1100 Rebel is powered by Honda's 1,084cc liquid-cooled Unicam parallel-twin engine.
Producing 65kW of power and 98Nm of torque, the engine has been tuned to deliver strong performance from low in the rev range with plenty of punch through the mid-range.
A heavy-mass flywheel and characterful exhaust give the Rebel its distinctive feel, while Honda's PGM-FI electronic fuel injection provides smooth and predictable throttle response.
Traditional 6-Speed Manual
For riders who want full control, the standard CMX1100 Rebel features a 6-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch.
It's the more traditional option in the Rebel 1100 range, putting clutch and gear selection completely in the rider's hands.
If you prefer Honda's automatic DCT transmission, take a look at the CMX1100 Rebel SE.
Four Selectable Riding Modes
The Rebel may have classic cruiser styling, but there's plenty of modern technology underneath it.
Four selectable riding modes allow you to change the bike's character to suit the conditions:
STANDARD – Balanced performance for everyday riding.
SPORT – Sharper response for a more engaging ride.
RAIN – Smoother, more controlled power delivery when conditions are slippery.
USER – Allows you to customise settings to suit your own riding preferences.
Combined with Honda Selectable Torque Control, the system gives you the flexibility to tailor the Rebel to the way you want to ride.
Low 710mm Seat Height
One of the Rebel's biggest advantages is how approachable it feels despite its 1,084cc engine.
The 710mm seat height makes it easier to get your feet securely on the ground at traffic lights or when manoeuvring around a car park.
A low centre of gravity also helps make the Rebel feel manageable at low speeds, while its relaxed ergonomics provide a comfortable riding position out on the road.
Comfortable, Roomy Riding Position
The CMX1100 Rebel features a relaxed riding position designed to accommodate a wide range of riders.
Raised handlebars are pulled back towards the rider, while the footpegs are positioned further forward and the seat uses high-quality cushioning for improved comfort.
The result is a natural riding position that's comfortable around town and well suited to longer days on the open road.
Lightweight – Big Power
At 226kg kerb weight, the manual CMX1100 Rebel is relatively light for a large-capacity cruiser.
Combine that with the low seat and low centre of gravity and you've got a bike that's easy to manoeuvre while still delivering serious 1,084cc performance.
Once you're moving, that lower weight also contributes to responsive handling and helps give the Rebel a sportier character than you might expect from a traditional cruiser.
Premium Suspension
The Rebel's chassis has been designed to deliver a balance between cruiser comfort and responsive handling.
Up front, 43mm telescopic forks provide 121mm of travel, while twin rear shocks feature preload adjustment and 95mm of wheel travel.
Whether you're cruising through town or heading out onto winding back roads, the Rebel is designed to remain composed and enjoyable to ride.
Powerful ABS Brakes
A large 330mm front disc is paired with a radial-mount brake caliper, providing strong braking performance with excellent feel and control.
At the rear, a 256mm disc provides additional stopping power.
ABS front and rear comes standard, providing additional confidence when braking in changing road conditions.
Cruise Control
Heading out onto the open road?
Standard cruise control allows you to maintain a set speed without constantly holding the throttle open, helping reduce fatigue on longer rides.
It's another feature that makes the CMX1100 just as capable of longer-distance riding as it is cruising around town.
5-Inch TFT Display
A modern 5-inch TFT display provides a clear view of your riding information while maintaining the Rebel's clean cockpit design.
The display can be customised to suit your preference, while a convenient USB-C charging port allows you to keep compatible devices charged while riding.
There's also 3 litres of under-seat storage for smaller essentials.
Full LED Lighting
The Rebel combines classic styling with modern lighting technology.
Its distinctive round headlight retains the traditional cruiser look while incorporating LED lighting for excellent visibility.
LED indicators and a modern LED tail light complete the package.
Built to Make Your Own
One of the things that has always defined the Rebel is its simple, stripped-back styling.
The clean lines and minimalist bodywork provide an excellent starting point for riders wanting to personalise their motorcycle with luggage, comfort accessories or custom styling.
Keep it simple or make it completely your own.
