Suspension

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

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.

Comfortable Riding Position

To ensure long-distance comfort the Rebel 1100’s riding position is relaxed and neutral, with gently outstretched arms matched to mid-mounted footpegs. The low 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height allows most riders to easily put both feet flat on the ground at stops for added confidence. There’s even an accessory seat available that pushes the seat pocket forward by 25 mm to allow for better reach to the footpegs and handlebar for riders of shorter stature.

Sporty lean angle

Want to explore some out-of-the-way twisty roads? The Rebel 1100 beats most conventional cruisers with a 35-degree lean angle.
