Large cruiser with Africa Twin engine

Rumors of a big Honda Rebel have been around for some time, now the Japanese have presented the new big cruiser.

D.he Honda CMX 500 Rebel is the means of choice in numerous driving schools when it comes to helping learner drivers get the coveted certificate. Easy to handle and equipped with an extremely low seat height, virtually everyone can handle it. Now Honda has upscaled the Rebel concept.

Adapted Africa Twin engine

It remains with the in-line two-cylinder, the deep-drawn steel frame and the familiar look. The twin in the CMX 1100 Rebel comes from the Africa Twin and offers 1,084 cm³ displacement. With a significantly increased flywheel mass and further adjustments, it offers more torque and a calmer character. The peak performance sank to 87 hp at 7,000 rpm, the maximum torque of 98 Nm is already at 4,750 rpm. It is shifted by a six-speed gearbox. As in the Africa Twin, the two-cylinder in the Rebel can also be coupled with the DCT dual clutch transmission. The driver can choose from three preset driving modes, and he can configure a fourth himself.

Well-known Rebel layout

The tubular steel chassis of the CMX 1100 Rebel follows the layout of its little sister. The seat height is only 700 millimeters. Underneath there is a three-liter storage compartment with a USB socket. The pillion seat is easy to remove. The tank holds 13.6 liters. A 43 mm telescopic fork leads in front, while the Rebel uses stereo struts at the rear. Only the preload can be set. Honda clamps a 130/70 tire on the front 18-inch rim and flanges a 330 disc with four-piston pliers. At the back there is a 16-inch wheel with a 180/65 tire. Stop power is provided by a single-piston brake calliper with a 256 mm disc. With a full tank, the Rebel weighs 223 kilograms, with DCT it’s ten kilograms more.

The lighting is all around LED technology. A cruise control, like a wheelie control, is part of the standard equipment. In the cockpit, an LC display in a round housing provides information.

The Rebel 1100 will be available from 2021 in the colors Bordeaux Red Metallic and Gunmetal Black Metallic. Honda has not yet announced prices. Honda offers a wide range of accessories with which the CMX 1100 can be further customized.
