Front end feel: wide fork + real travel

The Rebel 1100T uses a 43mm fork with 5.5 inches of travel. On the street, that combination is designed to balance stability with compliance—helpful for uneven pavement, freeway expansion joints, and the day-to-day roads around San Diego.

A wider, more substantial fork can also contribute to a planted feel when you’re braking hard or leaning through sweepers. Pair that with the Rebel’s low center of gravity and you get a cruiser that’s built to feel predictable rather than twitchy.

Rear suspension: dual Showa® shocks for comfort and control

Out back, the Rebel 1100T runs dual Showa® shocks with 3.7 inches of travel. That travel number matters: it’s a key part of how the bike manages bumps without feeling harsh, especially when you’re carrying gear in the hard saddlebags.

For riders who commute during the week and take longer rides on the weekend, the rear setup aims to keep the chassis composed—so the bike tracks cleanly through corners and stays comfortable when the road surface changes.

Steel frame & low center of gravity

The Rebel 1100T is built around a steel frame and is designed with a low center of gravity. Together, those traits support steady tracking at speed and easier low-speed balance in parking lots and stop-and-go traffic.

Geometry for stability

With 28.0° rake, 4.3 inches of trail, and a 59.8-inch wheelbase, the Rebel’s chassis numbers lean toward a stable, confidence-building ride—especially on open roads and freeway cruising.

Wide tires for planted grip

Tire sizing is 130/70-18 front and 180/65-16 rear. The wide rear helps deliver a planted feel under acceleration, while the front size supports predictable turn-in and steady braking.

Brakes: strong stopping power with ABS

  • Front: Single 330mm disc with radial-mount four-piston caliper; ABS
  • Rear: Single 256mm disc; ABS
For everyday riding, ABS can add confidence in changing conditions. The Rebel’s brake hardware is sized to match the bike’s street-focused mission—controlled deceleration with a solid lever feel.
