Features may include:

• Torque monster

The Rebel 1100 Touring uses a modified version of the 1,084 cc, liquid-cooled engine that powers the acclaimed Africa Twin, ensuring arm-pulling acceleration from low speeds and impressive top-end performance. The engine’s parallel-twin configuration and Unicam cylinder head contribute to the bike’s overall low centre of gravity and optimum mass centralization, which help produce stable, road-hugging, confident handling.

• Tuned for touring

To give the Rebel 1100 Touring its unique cruiser personality, valve timing and lift and even ignition timing were modified from Africa Twin spec, while flywheel mass was boosted 20 percent to increase inertia. The 270-degree crankshaft features uneven firing intervals that produce the powerful engine pulses that make riding a big-twin cruiser so much fun.

• Suspension

The Rebel’s 43 mm cartridge-type front fork is coated in a dark titanium oxide that complements the bike’s evocative blacked-out styling. Classic “piggyback” style twin rear shocks not only look the business, they also ensure consistent damping force for a controlled, comfortable ride over all types of road surfaces. Spring preload adjustment lets you calibrate suspension performance to your personal preference, or to take into account a passenger or the added weight of luggage.

• ABS Stopping power

The Rebel 1100 Touring goes hard, no question, and it also stops with authority thanks to its large-diameter disc brakes. A monoblock radial-mount caliper squeezes a 330 mm floating rotor up front, while a 256 mm rotor provides balanced stopping force at the rear. This model comes standard with ABS.

• Set up for touring

Setting it apart from the Rebel 1100, the Rebel 1100 Touring comes standard with a large headlight cowl with windscreen. Plus the saddlebags for added wind protection which are perfect for packing for a weekend getaway.

• Exhaust

The Rebel 1100 Touring’s eye-catching looks are matched by its ear-pleasing exhaust tone. A gentle pulse at low speeds in town turns into a deep and powerful tone as you accelerate to higher speeds.
