Built around Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2011 Honda Rebel utilizes a 234 cc (14.3 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 79 Nm (58.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 53.0 x 53.0 mm (2.1 x 2.1 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Rebel measures 150.1 kg (331 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 676 mm (26.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.84-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
