Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike is best suited to beginners and new riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and gentle power delivery.
PurposeIt's designed as an easygoing entry-level cruiser for learning, commuting, and short casual rides rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe very low 676mm seat height and light 150kg curb weight make it extremely manageable for shorter riders or those less confident with handling heavier machines.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser feel with modest air-cooled twin power, a simple carbureted engine, and relaxed cornering manners rather than outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis isn't the right bike for experienced riders seeking high speed, aggressive cornering performance, or serious two-up touring capability.

2014 Honda Rebel Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 676mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Honda 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.
