Is Honda’s 2021 Rebel 1100 DCT Cruiser A Modern Sportster?

This year Honda commemorates 36 years of its Rebel line of entry-level cruisers. To celebrate, it introduces its largest-capacity and still parallel-twin-powered Rebel 1100 ($9,999 as tested with optional Dual Clutch Transmission). Loaded with modern electronic rider aids but still easy to ride, customize, and own, has Big Red engineered a modern Sportster?
--
While some may be intimidated by its engine displacement, you shouldn’t be. In typical Rebel spirit it’s a manageable and well-rounded motorcycle. It has a low, asphalt-hugging stance with a narrow and well-proportioned cockpit. It’s a tad cramped for riders taller than 6 feet, but a simple handlebar swap could help that. Mid-foot controls make for an easy seating position, yet offer a respectable level of cornering clearance for more sport-oriented riders.
The optional six-speed DCT makes it easy to get rolling by eliminating the traditional clutch and gear-shift levers. These controls are replaced with a pair of handlebar-mounted trigger shifters. Riders can also opt for a fully automated experience. Just twist the throttle and go-the Rebel is as easy to operate as a scooter. A handlebar-mounted parking brake lever keeps it from rolling when parked.
Even at parking lot speeds, this cruiser impresses with its agility in spite of its 509-pound fueled curb weight. It offers a wide steering radius which aids maneuvering in and out of tight spots. Dual ABS-enabled disc brakes shed speed with ease and afford pleasing response. Though we wish the Rebel 1100 had a twin disc front brake setup for aesthetic reasons.
Handling is equally as impressive at speed. Highlights include pleasing ride quality over bumps and pavement imperfections, plus suspension damping settings are neither too fast, nor too slow. When the road gets twisty, the Rebel offers a surprising level of sport aptitude, especially for a cruiser. It’s fun and easy to wield through bends. Miles melt away with ease.
Even in its highest power setting (three power modes are available), the 1,084cc twin is more sedate compared to the more punchy 2020 Africa Twin version it’s based from. Honda says the power unit is rated for 87 hp at 7,000 rpm and 72 pound-feet torque at 4,750 rpm. And with its fast-shifting gearbox, the Rebel is capable of lifting the front 18-inch wheel in first gear during hard launches. It rifles through the remaining five cogs faster than any other cruiser we’ve ridden.
The water-cooled twin emits virtually no engine heat and has minimal vibration through the controls. Even with an uneven firing order, the engine character is a tad muted for our taste. But we love the sound of the auto-blip feature as the transmission downshifts in rapid succession when braking from speed.
IMU-powered (electronic chip that combines gyro and accelerometer functions affording six degrees of vehicle positional awareness) ABS, traction/wheelie, and engine-brake control are integrated, and the rider can also tweak (in three levels) the rpm range at which the transmission upshifts.
A bright and crisp-looking round-face digital display keeps tabs on vehicle settings and is easy to read a glance. Our only complaint is that the menu system could be more intuitive. Cruise control is another nice plus as is the underseat storage compartment and USB charging port.
We love the tough-looking appearance of the quad chamber headlamp and tasteful round turn signals. The LED lighting package appears like it was sourced from a high-end aftermarket catalog. Yet it employs the legendary function, fit, and finish only Big Red can deliver.
For decades, Japanese motorcycle factories have out-engineered the Bar & Shield brand. But with the introduction of the Rebel 1100, Honda alters the trajectory of the cruiser segment through inclusive design, tasteful styling, and infusion of proven high-end riding tech.

    @Deplorable the numbers actually say that motorcycle sales have increased. While money is very tight for poor and working class people, the middle and upper middle class demographic that motorcycle companies target have been working at home and saving money from restaurant trips and vacations not happening. This money had been put into other toys that were still sold, motorcycles being one of them as an essential business. Also this looks like near the end of the pandemic if the vaccine works well for variants. If it doesn't we'll have another wave in six months to a year unfortunately.

    I agree with the other comment here, get a cheap mid size bike and get EXTREMELY comfortable before going to a heavier more powerful bike. This is just good sense, the rebel 11 will be there waiting when you're ready and probably save a few grand. Don't ever get overconfident, just confident, comfortable, and suspect every other moving object on the road of possibly being the cause of your fatal crash. Not gospel, just 34 years on 2 wheels, so my 2 cents.

The cruiser market in the US is general has been on the decline for a long time and those who still ride and want them are generally into HD simply because it's a US company. This is more of a step up for Honda alone versus the entire Cruiser market.

    I think it's going to be new generation's cruiser definition, with that DCT. Cruising will mean DCT from now on. Goldwing proved it for long day rides (distances eater). Old generation's riders don't like the looks of Rebel 1100 (I don't either, being too old, I admit). But Rebel will take over city commuting, short country rides, cafe rides, weekend rides, etc., due to its price, too.

I see the dct in the way I do that catamaran. I dobt like trikes but say if I was handicapped I'd still love an option to ride. Some people have hand issues and if I can't use a clutch any more this option would be a godsend for me.

    I prefer mid controls because if you see a bump you boos up on your legs and take the hit on the legs instead of jamming your spine. Just like you would do on a dirt bike or a Sportster. I was taught on my 50 years of riding your legs are part of your suspension. Also being short is another reason I prefer mids.

    I must be getting old if an 1100 is now classed as a small to mid sized cruiser. To me, a small to mid size cruiser is a 500cc. Some channels are even saying it would be a good beginner bike? What!! I can't wait to try it out.

    That's why it's $10,000 if they put a belt on it would cost the same as the Harley or the Indian that's where the money savings really occurred I can't stand the chain either but remember that the Africa Twin has a chain and they seem to do fine please remember that BMW is completely abandoning the shaft drive in the next five years with that new chain they invented that needs no maintenance whatsoever it was recently announced you might be aware that the trail 125 even with its 8.7 hp motor has been stretching the hell out of its chain I hope we don't have the same problem with the rebel 1100 maybe they will give us exactly the same chain as on the Africa twin of course they'll tell you to adjust the chain every 600 miles but no one is going to ever do that and no one wants to on this kind of bike

    I like cruiser to be full size but not huge. However given the small crimped price and serious beautiful design, and its price tag comes under the Sportster (discontinued very soon) or Harley Bob and the Scout. Here in Europe. For what you pay for a Harley Bob or Indian scout you can buy one Rebel1100 and one rebel500 and have plenty of fun with your girlfriend or wife. Or you can buy the Rebel1100 and the CB500X. Or get Vulcan S and a CB500X, you still have money left to gear up properly.

    I would never buy a bike with DCT. I don't think it's bad at all, it's just not for me. I love the control that comes with a manual transmission and the feeling of hitting that perfect shift. Also, the manual transmission version of this bike is $700 cheaper.

    The new generation of riders have grown up with no manuals in cars. They do not want one on a motorcycle. DCT is the future. No missed shifts plus faster acceleration vs manual just like cars.
