For 2025, the Honda Rebel 1100 platform adds a fifth trim version to its lineup: the premium-level Honda Rebel 1100 DCT SE, equipped with extra features and accessories as standard. Additionally, all Rebel 1100s receive a few improvements for 2025. Also included in this announcement are seven returning models with 2025 pricing and colors.
2025 Honda Rebel 1100
Changes to all Rebel 1100 trim options include a revised riding position and a plusher seat, with the cushion being 10mm thicker for more comfort on longer rides. The handlebar grips are now 12mm (about a half inch) higher and 28mm (about 1 inch) farther back, and the footpegs are 50mm (nearly 2 inches) farther forward. Its liquid-cooled 1,083cc parallel-Twin remains unchanged.
The Honda Rebel 1100 also becomes the first U.S. Honda model equipped with RoadSync, which is standard on all trim levels. RoadSync is compatible with iOS and Android and connects the bike to the Honda RoadSync app to enable navigation, listening to music, checking the local weather forecast, and more.
Also new for all trim levels is a USB socket near the handlebar and a new visor that shields the LCD display from the sun for improved visibility.
