Um....there's a A-M button to switch from fully automatic to manual mode. There's a manual with details under the seat!!!

“Maybe there is a full manual override, but I couldn’t find it...” Dude ... SERIOUSLY ????

If you go high speeds with your phone attached the way you do, you'll probably experience a high speed wobble. Saw this on another vid.

Lol you have to actually put it in manual to continually shift, leave it in automatic and shift and it will kick back to auto in about 30 seconds. 🤷‍♀️

Read the manual before you do a review

There is a 100% manual mode. Just push the R/M button to overide the auto transmission. I piked one up last Friday and love it. Great value for the quality and performance.

Why does every review video show people using both hands to release the park brake? It is simple, your fingers on your left hand pull the lever up and the thumb on your left hand presses the release button. Let's just send the engineers back to the drawing board because for some reason motorcyclists can't figure out a really simple concept. The same as a Honda car. Pull back on the hand break to release the lock and use your thumb to disengage the brake.

They got these 12 year olds on here giving us opinions like they been riding for years.... smh

People should start making more reviews with the manual,I only found about 2 different (good) reviews with the manual...

It's bad enough having to put up with an auto tranny in my truck.. think I'll just stay with a clutch on my bike. To each his/her/Its own I suppose..

I bought the DCT version about 6 weeks ago. I also own a ‘19 Ducati Multistrada 1260S with speed shifter and auto blipper. The manual mode paddle shifts, both up and down, on the Rebel are quicker and smoother than speed shifting up or auto blipping down with the Ducati. At less than half the price of the Multi, the transmission in the Rebel is astoundingly good when you paddle shift. It’s faster than you could humanly do it with a traditional clutch-analogous to the current crop of high performance cars that shift faster with their DCT setups than anyone could manage with a stick. I’ll admit that “auto” mode shifts a little early in “standard” if you’re just giving it an easy roll on and a little too late if you’re a bit more aggressive in “sport” mode. However, if you just put it in manual mode and paddle shift the results are amazing. As noted in the video, you can also override the auto mode momentarily by simply using the paddles anytime you want to change gears. That’s good for an easy cruise where you occasionally want to jump into traffic or pull hard out of a turn but don’t want to go full manual. I know the bike is great with a standard clutch setup, too. I wanted something unique, though, and on that account this bike delivers very nicely.

The full manual override is the A/M button on the right handlebar.

Next time don't put a black bike against a row of white doors, it was like looking at a Rorschach test.

Nice review Alex! You keep me informed and up to date on what is available and what bikes are like today. The tech. is WAY different from the last bike I rode. This DCT stuff has got to be extremely awkward to get used too. But I bet it would be fun! I LOVE the Rebels. Perhaps 1 day I will get back on the saddle. And when that happens, the Rebel has my eye. Thanks.

Beautiful landscapes your driving through. I use to be the camp host in Ojai California for a while, makes me miss the twisty canyon roads. If you haven’t ridden it yet check out. Hwy 33 in Ventura county

I dig it, would try both to see how they feel. I think having a dct bike in the garage along with a regular manual bike would be cool. Also I think sport mode will hold the gears longer.

Honda Rebels have been in the loop a long time. Never been a cruiser fan. I do like that bike. Interesting set up! Nice review Alex!

Really nice bike. The Honda engine sounds really smooth. Hard to beat the Japanese bikes.

Got mine a few months ago and love it

I had a1986 Honda Shadow 1100 V twin for a few years rode the snot out of it.
