Suspension at a glance

Suspension tuning is a big part of why a bike feels comfortable over rough pavement and composed when you lean it into a corner. Here are the key factory specs for the Rebel 1100.

Front suspension

43mm fork; 5.5-inch travel

Rear suspension

Dual Showa® shocks, adjustable preload; 3.7-inch travel

Chassis geometry & stability

Rake

28.0°

A relaxed steering angle that supports straight-line stability and a calm feel on the freeway.

Trail

4.3 in

Trail helps the front end self-center, contributing to a planted, predictable steering response.

Wheelbase

59.8 in

A longer wheelbase adds stability and smoothness, especially when accelerating or cruising.

Steel frame + low seat height

The Rebel 1100 uses a steel frame and a low 27.9-inch seat height. Together, they help the bike feel approachable when you’re stopping, parking, or navigating tight city streets.

Tires & contact patch

Tire sizing influences turn-in, stability, and how the bike feels over imperfect pavement. The Rebel 1100’s wide rear tire helps deliver a strong, planted feel when you roll on the throttle.

Front tire

130/70-18

Rear tire

180/65-16

Tip for San Diego riders: if you commute on mixed surfaces (freeway seams, downtown patches, and canyon pavement), correct tire pressure and suspension preload setup can make a noticeable difference in comfort and control.
