2026 Honda Rebel 1100T Performance Guide

A rider-focused look at how the Rebel 1100T delivers power, control, and confidence—from city streets to coastal miles.
Performance snapshot

1084cc parallel-twin touring attitude

The Rebel 1100T pairs a 1084cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin with PGM-FI fuel injection and throttle-by-wire for smooth, predictable response. The 270-degree-phase crank character helps the bike feel lively while staying composed for longer rides.

Base price: $10,899

Power delivery & ride modes (what you’ll feel)

With throttle-by-wire and electronic fuel injection, the Rebel 1100T is built to feel consistent at low speeds and confident when you roll on the throttle. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and wheelie control add a layer of reassurance when traction changes—helpful for early-morning marine layer commutes or unexpected road debris.

Acceleration & gearing feel

A six-speed manual transmission keeps the bike engaging and lets you choose how relaxed or responsive the ride feels. Chain final drive (#525 O-ring-sealed chain; 16T/42T) delivers direct feedback at the rear wheel.

Cornering confidence

A low center of gravity and steel frame help the Rebel 1100T feel planted in sweepers and stable in stop-and-go traffic. Tire sizing (130/70-18 front, 180/65-16 rear) supports a confident stance without feeling overly bulky.

Braking performance

ABS is standard, paired with a single 330mm front disc and a radial-mount four-piston caliper, plus a 256mm rear disc. The result is strong, controllable braking for urban riding and highway merges alike.

Touring performance: comfort that supports the pace

Performance isn’t only about speed—it’s about how long you can ride while staying comfortable and in control. The Rebel 1100T’s low 27.9-inch seat height and roomy rider triangle help reduce fatigue, while cruise control can make longer freeway stretches more relaxed.
