Engine & DrivetrainThe new 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.
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.
Chassis & SuspensionClassic “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
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.
AdditionalThe Rebel 1100’s eye-catching looks are matched by its ear-pleasing exhaust tone. A gentle pulse at low speeds in town turns into a deep and powerful tone as you accelerate to higher speeds.
Standard electronic cruise control gives your throttle hand a break on long highway rides.
All-LED lighting and a multi-function LCD display provide modern touches to a bike with classic good looks.
