Rebel 1100 DCT

A low 700mm seat, lazy cruiser torque and no clutch lever. One of the most accessible big-capacity bikes you can buy, and a surprisingly fun one.

That low 700mm seat makes the Rebel staggeringly easy to manage, while the Africa-Twin-derived twin gives lazy, satisfying drive. It's more fun in corners than a cruiser has any right to be.

DCT suits the relaxed cruiser brief perfectly — no clutch to feather at the lights, just smooth automatic urge. Custom modes let you tune how eagerly it shifts to match your mood.

Approachable, distinctive and cheap to run, it's a brilliant confidence-builder that experienced riders enjoy too. Ground clearance and wind protection are the main compromises.

The Rebel 1100 DCT makes a 1100cc cruiser feel unintimidating. Feet-down confidence, automatic ease and enough grunt to keep experienced riders grinning.
