Honda Rebel 1100T : Honda has unveiled its latest touring cruiser, the 2025 Rebel 1100T, blending performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology into a sleek package. Designed for riders who crave long-distance capability without compromising on everyday usability, this bike is equally at home on weekend getaways and daily commutes.
A Design Built for the Open Road
Defying package-cruiser convention, the Rebel 1100T displays a batwing fairing factory fit and an added slickness of style that adds an equally cool breeze of function. The colour matched hard panniers (35 litres each) provide a clean and integrated look while providing a useful carrying capacity. Powerful yet not overly bulky, this motorcycle is proof that class leading super touring performance can be paired with agile control and excellent firepower.
Power Meets Efficiency
Powering the Rebel 1100T is a 1,083cc parallel-twin engine that can be found on Honda’s Africa Twin. It provides 87hp and 98 Nm of torque to ensure true low-revving ability, which guarantees confident overtaking and easy motorway cruising. The motor is flexible at low RPM, as at home in traffic as it is on long stretches.
Riders can opt between a 6-speed manual transmission and Honda’s automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), so there’s no need to worry about clutch or kickstarting—ever. In spite of all of this power, however, the bike still manages 43 miles per gallon, or 150+ miles per tank.
Tech That Enhances Every Ride
The Rebel 1100T is packed with rider-focused technology:
- Multiple ride modes (Standard, Rain, Sport, and customizable User settings) adapt to road conditions and riding style.
- Traction control and wheelie control boost safety without sacrificing fun.
- A 5-inch TFT display integrates with Honda RoadSync, allowing hands-free navigation, calls, and music control.
Comfort for the Long Haul
With adjustable rider ergonomics — a 27.5-inch seat height and mid-set footpegs welcome riders of all statures. The well-cushioned seat and neutral handlebar location are touring perfect for minimizing fatigue, the fairing helps to minimize the buffet of wind. Seating is relaxed and comfortable, whether you’re 5’5” or over 6 feet, thanks to the Rebel 1100T’s comfortable, natural riding position.
Confidence-Inspiring Braking and Handling
A pair of dual-disc ABS brakes (330mm front, 256mm rear) deliver pleasingly accurate stopping power in any scenario. The suspension, 43mm telescopic forks up front and dual Showa shocks in back, sucks up the bumps like a pro, which really allows you to attack some nasty roads.
Pricing and Who It’s For
The bike will be available in Metallic Black and Bordeaux Red and has a starting price of $10,799 (manual) and $11,499 (DCT) – making it a value-laden option in the heavyweight cruiser segment.
Ideal for:
- Beginners upgrading from smaller bikes, thanks to its manageable weight and controls.
- Experienced riders who want advanced tech like DCT and ride modes.
- Touring enthusiasts seeking a lightweight, agile cruiser with serious storage.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Honda Rebel 1100T changes perceptions of what a touring cruiser can be—quick and nimble but comfortable and packed with features. In other words, it’s that rare bike that doesn’t make you pick between adventure and the everyday. The Rebel 1100T is made to take you farther in comfort, whether you’re kicking asphalt mule trails or touring freeways, there’s more of you for the ride, and then some.
