2025 Honda Rebel 1100 Range – First Look
Small improvements and a new SE version
Honda announced small, but handy updates to its Rebel 1100 models, improving comfort, and adding a new smartphone connectivity app. Additionally, confirming what we were first to report, Honda is adding a new SE variant to the range.
The 2025 lineup consists of five variants: the returning Rebel 1100, the Rebel 1100T bagger, plus DCT versions of the two, as well as the new Rebel 1100 DCT SE. All five variants will be available in December, with prices ranging from $9,599 for the manual transmission Rebel 1100, to $11,099 for the SE model.
Visually, the 2025 Rebel 1100s are only subtly different from last year’s models. The seat cushion is 0.4 inches thicker, improving comfort, particularly for longer trips. Honda also moved the handlebar grips 0.5 inches higher and 1.1 inches further back, while sliding the footpegs 2.0 inches further forward.
Honda also added a new visor over the 4.7 inch inverted LCD display to improve visibility in bright sunlight. Also new is a USB socket near the handlebars, which is in addition to the USB-C port under the seat.
The engine remains the same 1,083cc Parallel-Twin inherited from the Africa Twin, but with a heavier flywheel and new air intake and exhaust designs. The six speed manual and DCT transmissions are both unchanged from 2024.
Also unchanged are the electronics, including three preset ride modes (Standard, Sport, and Rain), plus a user-customizable mode, traction control, wheelie control, cruise control, and ABS.
The 2025 Rebel 1100 motorcycles are the first to bring Honda’s RoadSync phone connectivity system to the U.S. market. It works with iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth to provide hands-free navigation, music playback, and weather updates.
All Rebel 1100 models come with a 43mm telescopic fork with adjustable preload and 5.5 inches of travel, plus dual Showa rear shocks with adjustable preload and 3.7 inches of travel. The 18-inch front wheels are equipped with a single radial-mount four-piston monobloc caliper and a 330mm disc. The 16-inch rear wheels come with a single-piston caliper and 256mm rotor. ABS is standard.
2025 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT SE
The SE model is mostly a styling exercise, coming with a Flare Orange Metallic color scheme and a number of accessories installed. These include bar-end mirrors, a color-matched headlight cowl, a shorter fender, a different seat texture, and fork boots. The Rebel 1100 DCT SE can be had for $11,099.
The Rebel 1100 cruisers offer a choice between Matte Black Metallic or Pearl Hawkeye Blue. The manual transmission model starts at $9,599 while the DCT version comes in at $10,299. The Rebel 1100T baggers are only going to be offered in Gray Metallic, for $11,499 with DCT or $10,799 with a manual transmission.
