2026 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT - Matte Black Metallic
The 2026 Honda Rebel 1100 in Matte Black Metallic is a modern cruiser built to feel at home in the city while bringing extra punch for highways and canyon roads. Power comes from a 1084cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin with Unicam® SOHC four-valves-per-cylinder design and PGM-FI. This configuration is the Rebel 1100 DCT, using a six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission that can run in fully automatic mode or be shifted manually with paddle shifters. You also get contemporary essentials like ABS, cruise control, a five-inch TFT display, and Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity.
1084cc parallel-twin performance
At the heart of the Rebel 1100 is a 1084cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin, fed by a PGM-FI system with a 46mm throttle body and built around Honda’s Unicam® SOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder layout. A 270-degree-phase crank and biaxial counterbalance are part of the engine package, supporting the bike’s blend of easy cruising and lively response across everyday riding speeds.
DCT convenience, with manual control
This Rebel 1100 DCT uses a six-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission designed to give you the convenience of automatic operation while still offering a manual mode with paddle shifters. It’s a great fit for commuting and stop-and-go riding, and it also helps reduce hand fatigue on longer days, with smooth operation and no worry about stalling.
Tech that supports real miles
A five-inch TFT instrument display puts key information like speed, tachometer, and fuel level in a customizable format. Pair your phone via Bluetooth to Honda RoadSync for hands-free navigation, music playback, and checking local forecasts at your destination (with calling and texting support for Android). You also get cruise control and a USB-C terminal located near the instruments to help keep devices powered.
Chassis, stance, and everyday confidence
The Rebel 1100’s packaging focuses on easy maneuvering and confident stops. Seat height is 27.9 inches, and the platform emphasizes a low center of gravity thanks to its compact engine layout and the placement of heavier components near the bike’s center. Overall width is kept slim through the tank/seat junction to make mounting, dismounting, and footing at stops feel more natural.
Suspension is handled by a 43mm fork with 5.5 inches of travel up front and dual Showa® shocks with 3.7 inches of travel in the rear. The bike rolls on a 130/70-18 front tire and 180/65-16 rear tire, with chassis geometry listed at 28.0° rake and 4.3 inches of trail over a 59.8-inch wheelbase. Curb weight is 518 pounds (includes all standard equipment, required fluids and a full tank of fuel).
Braking, ABS, and control features
Braking hardware includes a single 330mm front disc with a radial-mount four-piston caliper and a single 256mm rear disc. ABS is standard equipment, helping add control when traction is limited or conditions change.
Rider-assist technology includes Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) through a throttle-by-wire system, with four levels: Standard, Rain, Sport, and a user-customizable option. Wheelie control is also part of the feature set. Together with the Rebel’s low, manageable ergonomics, these systems are aimed at giving you more ways to tailor how the bike responds to your ride and the road.
Matte Black Metallic finish and model details
In Matte Black Metallic, the Rebel 1100 leans into Honda’s blacked-out style theme, with blacked-out engine pieces, frame, fork, bodywork, and a black-plated final-drive chain for a cohesive look. A blacked-out muffler completes the styling package, paired with an all-LED lighting setup.
Practical touches include a left-side ignition switch that also unlocks a three-liter under-seat storage compartment, and a solo seat with an optional passenger seat and footpeg kit. Final drive is a #525 O-ring-sealed chain with 16T/42T gearing, and fuel capacity is 3.6 gallons. Factory warranty coverage is listed as a transferable, one year included, unlimited-mileage limited warranty, with optional extended coverage available with a HondaCare® Protection Plan.
