Honda Rebel 1100 Line Gets Updates, New Trim for 2025

Honda’s cruiser announcements usually don’t get quite the same juice as its supersport, standard, and miniMOTO reveals, mainly because the bikes tend to be carryover affairs with few significant changes from year to year. With Big Red’s latest release, though, the Rebel 1100 family is finally seeing some action in form of minor improvements to “comfort and convenience” as well as getting a new family member for 2025—the better-equipped Rebel 1100 DCT SE. As for the 2025 Fury and Shadow Phantom, which we will touch upon as well, they are, as expected, back this year unchanged.

The Rebel 1100 is already a standout in its class thanks to a package that includes a torquey, Africa Twin–derived 1,083cc parallel twin, nimble handling, and a deep lean angle as well as selectable ride modes, traction control, and other electronic tech not usually found in the segment. To sweeten the pie (or at least roll with the trends) Honda is now adding the RoadSync feature to all Rebel 1100 models in 2025, making them the first Honda motorcycles packing that particular add-on in the US. According to the brand, RoadSync allows for hand-free navigation and more once you connect your phone via Bluetooth to the Honda RoadSync app. Honda says it’s compatible with both the iOS and Android smartphone platforms.

As for ergonomic changes this year, the Rebel has its grips repositioned 12mm (0.5 inch) higher and 28mm (1.1 inches) back, and its footpegs moved 50mm (2 inches) forward to give riders a more neutral seating position, while the other contact point—the seat—gets 10mm (0.4 inch) thicker padding to dial up comfort on longer rides. For added convenience, a new USB socket is positioned near the handlebar so you can juice up your electronics. Lastly, there’s a new visor added atop the 4.7-inch digital display to improve visibility in sunlight.

The Rebel family is growing this year too, with the new Rebel 1100 DCT SE joining the series as the most stylish of the lot thanks to preinstalled accessories from the Honda catalog, including fork boots, bar-end mirrors, a color-matched headlight cowl, a short front fender, and a special seat with different cover. We’ve seen the SE trim previously on the smaller Rebels and it looks like a nice styling boost to the 1100 line as well.

In any case, fans of more choices will be keen to see five different trim levels for the Rebel 1100 in 2025. Although several are merely transmission options, all the models do get the aforementioned updates, which on their face seem minor, but will likely make the riding experience that much more relaxing.

To sum up: For 2025, you can choose from the base Rebel 1100 with a manual gearbox, the Rebel 1100 DCT (dual-clutch transmission), the manual Rebel 1100T bagger, the Rebel 1100T bagger with DCT, and the new kid on the block, the Rebel 1100 DCT SE, which gets the dual-clutch transmission and the extra accessories in addition to the other upgrades.

The 1100 DCT SE will come in a spicy Flare Orange Metallic with an MSRP of $11,099; the Rebel 1100 DCT will retail for $10,299 in Matte Black Metallic or Pearl Blue; the Rebel 1100T DCT bagger is priced at $11,499 in Gray Metallic; the manual Rebel 1100T is $10,799, also in Gray Metallic; while the base-model Rebel 1100 has an MSRP of $9,599 in either Matte Black Metallic or Pearl Blue.

All bikes will be available in dealers this December.

Big Red also announced the return of two of its most stalwart models, both exactly the same as last year, though one of them does get a price boost.

The Fury continues on as long and low as ever, profiling the boulevard with eye-catching custom-level styling bolstered by solid Honda engineering. The stretched-out looker has somehow hung around essentially unchanged since its 2010 debut, and that’s the story for 2025 as well, right down to the Adventure Green paint job. Highlights include a 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, 71 inches between the wheels, and a 32-degree rake on the front end, all while keeping that hardtail look intact. The 2025 Fury will be available at dealers this November, with the only color option being Adventure Green. MSRP is $11,499.

Honda’s über-reliable 750-class V-twin cruiser is also back in the lineup mechanically, cosmetically or otherwise unchanged for 2025, probably because Honda bestowed it with a new rear disc brake, fine-tuned the ergos, and added a couple of styling tweaks last year. The minimalist, bobberish Shadow Phantom soldiers on with two color options but otherwise maintains its 745cc liquid-cooled V-twin powertrain and reliably delivers a smooth powerband that’s easy to manage and adequate for almost any rider.

The Phantom comes in the same Deep Pearl Gray or Flare Orange Metallic color options as last year, but you’ll pay a steeper $8,699 in 2025 because ABS now comes standard. Seems fair to us.
