Honda Rebel 1100
The Honda Rebel 1100 (CMX1100) was introduced in 2021 as the flagship of Honda's Rebel cruiser lineup, replacing the need for a larger displacement option above the Rebel 500. It is powered by a parallel-twin engine derived from the Africa Twin adventure bike, making it notable for bringing modern technology such as a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) option and multiple riding modes to the cruiser segment. Its combination of accessible ergonomics, contemporary styling, and a torque-rich engine made it a standout choice for riders seeking a capable yet approachable large-displacement cruiser.

What Buyers Should Know
Africa Twin Engine Inside
The Rebel 1100 shares its parallel-twin engine with the adventure-proven Honda Africa Twin, giving it a strong reliability pedigree. This 1084cc motor is well-tested and known for longevity with proper maintenance.
Watch the DCT Clutch
The optional Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is a unique selling point but can be costly to service if neglected — budget for dealer-level maintenance. Buyers should verify DCT fluid has been changed per Honda's recommended intervals.
Strong Resale Value
The Rebel 1100 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and Honda's brand reputation, often reselling at 80-90% of MSRP within the first two years. The DCT variant commands a noticeable premium on the used market.
