The 2023 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT is a powerful and modern cruiser that offers a unique blend of performance, technology, and classic bobber styling, ideal for riders who want an engaging and versatile motorcycle experience without a manual clutch. At its heart, the Rebel 1100 DCT features a potent 1,083cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine derived from the Africa Twin adventure bike, but with a heavier flywheel and unique mapping to deliver strong, useable torque across the rev range. This engine produces approximately 81 horsepower and 68 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of power for both relaxed cruising and spirited riding. The defining feature is the advanced six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which offers seamless, automatic shifting for effortless twist-and-go operation in traffic, while also providing a manual mode with paddle shifters on the left handlebar for full rider control. The motorcycle is equipped with a suite of modern electronic rider aids, including throttle-by-wire, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) as standard, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with wheelie control. Riders can customize their experience using four selectable riding modes—Standard, Rain, Sport, and a customizable User mode—which adjust power delivery, engine braking, traction control, and DCT shift points. Other convenient features include standard cruise control, a full LED lighting package, and 3 liters of underseat storage with a USB-C charging port. The Rebel 1100 DCT features a low, confidence-inspiring 27.5-inch seat height that allows most riders to flat-foot at stops. Its steel-tube trellis frame and neutral handling geometry, combined with a relatively light wet weight of 509 pounds, make it agile and easy to maneuver in various conditions, from tight parking lots to winding roads. The blacked-out styling, round headlight, and bobber-style fenders give it a raw, custom look that stands out from more traditional cruisers.
