Overview
The Honda Rebel 1100 is the big brother to the best-selling Rebel 500, featuring Honda's proven Africa Twin-derived 1,084cc parallel-twin engine paired with the revolutionary DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) automatic gearbox. The Rebel 1100 price Philippines is ₱665,000, positioning it as a premium cruiser that competes with the Harley-Davidson lineup on features while maintaining Honda's legendary reliability. Cruise control, three riding modes (Standard, Sport, Rain), and traction control make it the most feature-rich cruiser in its price range in the PH market. The DCT transmission is a genuine game-changer for Philippine expressway commuting — no clutch lever means zero left-hand fatigue in toll plaza queues and stop-and-go traffic. With 87 hp and a massive 98 Nm of low-end torque, the Rebel 1100 delivers effortless cruising power on NLEX, SLEX, and every other Philippine expressway.
Expressway Driving Review
The Rebel 1100 is arguably the best expressway cruiser available in the Philippines under ₱1 million. The DCT automatic transmission eliminates clutch fatigue entirely — a game-changer for daily EDSA-to-NLEX expressway commuting and the constant stop-start of Autosweep and Easytrip RFID toll lanes. Cruise control lets you set your speed on the TPLEX's long, straight stretches and relax your throttle hand for the full Tarlac-to-Rosario run. The 87 hp Africa Twin-derived engine provides effortless overtaking power on SLEX and Skyway Stage 3 without needing to rev past 5,000 rpm. Three riding modes adapt to Philippine weather conditions: Rain mode softens throttle response for wet Skyway surfaces, Sport mode sharpens response for spirited expressway riding, and Standard strikes the ideal balance for daily commuting. At 100-120 km/h, the parallel-twin engine is smooth and vibration-free, cruising at a relaxed 4,500-5,500 rpm. Fuel efficiency on the expressway averages 22-24 km/L, giving approximately 300-325 km range on the 13.6-liter tank. The low seat height (700mm) and wide handlebars inspire strong confidence in crosswinds on elevated sections like Skyway Stage 3 and the NLEX Connector.
