In 2024, Honda is bringing back the Rebel 1100 cruiser in two different forms. This year, they’re not making any major mechanical changes to the bikes, but they are giving them fresh and modern colors for the new year. While the release is focused on the European market, it’s likely that these popular models will make a return to the US line in the near future.
The Rebel 1100, or the CMX1100, keeps its beloved neo-bobber styling. It has a stripped-down appearance that conceals its true power and capabilities. Under its modest exterior, there’s an impressive 1,084cc parallel-twin-cylinder engine with 80 horsepower. This engine is designed to provide strong torque in the lower and midrange, making the bike exciting to ride. Riders have found it to be a thrilling experience, and it’s one of the reasons for the bike’s popularity.
The Rebel 1100 is a success not just in the US but also across the pond. In fact, it’s the second-best seller in the European custom bike segment, following only its smaller counterpart, the Rebel 500.
This bike comes with mid-mount controls, throttle-by-wire technology, easy handling, adjustable engine power, and traction control. Additionally, there’s an option for a DCT transmission. All of these features make the Rebel 1100 an excellent value for riders. However, the release didn’t include any pricing information, so we’ll have to wait for that.
For 2024, the primary update for the CMX1100 Rebel is the introduction of two new contemporary color options: Glint Wave Blue Metallic and Iridium Gray Metallic.
The CMX1100T Rebel, which is the touring version of the bike introduced last year, is designed for long-distance adventures. It features a broad aerodynamic half fairing and hard saddlebags. This year, it gets a fresh look with a Gunmetal Black Metallic color scheme and a pair of new bronze wheels. Both of these Rebel models are expected to arrive in European dealerships early in 2024. American Honda is also likely to make announcements about returning models later in the year.
