Chassis highlights

Built to feel planted—without feeling heavy

The Rebel 1100T DCT pairs a steel frame with a low center of gravity and wide tires to deliver steady tracking on freeway commutes and predictable manners on San Diego backroads.

Price shown is the standard base price for this support page. Taxes, fees, and availability may vary.

Suspension: what you feel at the bars and seat

Wide fork feature

Front suspension (wide fork)

Up front, the Rebel 1100T DCT uses a 43mm fork with 5.5-inch travel. The larger-diameter fork legs help resist flex under braking and during quick transitions, supporting a stable, confident front-end feel.

Premium rear suspension feature

Rear suspension (dual shocks)

The rear uses dual Showa® shocks with 3.7-inch travel. Dual shocks keep the look classic while helping the bike stay composed over uneven pavement—useful for daily riding and longer trips with luggage.

Low center of gravity feature

Low center of gravity

A low center of gravity and a 27.9-inch seat height help the Rebel feel manageable at stops and during low-speed maneuvers—especially helpful when navigating parking lots or city traffic.

Tires & brakes: traction and stopping power

Wide tires for a planted feel

The Rebel 1100T DCT runs a 130/70-18 front and 180/65-16 rear. That wide rear footprint supports steady acceleration and a confident stance, while the front size helps maintain predictable steering.

Powerful disc brakes feature

ABS disc brakes

Braking is handled by a single 330mm front disc with a radial-mount four-piston caliper and a 256mm rear disc, with ABS for added confidence in changing road conditions.

Why it matters on real roads

Suspension travel helps absorb bumps, geometry supports stability, and the tire/brake package ties it all together. If you’re planning freeway miles, coastal rides, or weekend loops, this balance is what keeps the bike comfortable and composed.
