Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with some prior experience who want a torquey, confidence-inspiring big-bore cruiser rather than a true beginner bike.
PurposeBuilt for stylish urban cruising and weekend backroad blasts, blending a low-slung custom look with genuinely sporty performance.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and manageable 223kg curb weight make it accessible to shorter and less physically imposing riders.
CharacterFeels like a muscular, modern cruiser with surprisingly agile handling and strong midrange punch rather than a laid-back classic cruiser.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any serious off-road capability.

2021 Honda CMX1100 Rebel Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Honda CMX1100 Rebel, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
