According to some new documents coming out of Germany, the Honda Rebel 1100 could receive an update for 2025, but there’s no word yet on whether this is just a Euro5+ update or if it’s actually a new model for Team Red.
Updated Honda Rebel 1100: Possibly 5 Variants in Total?
Fresh off the presses from Germany’s emissions data lab, it looks like Honda’s Rebel 1100 is due for a makeover, and not just any refresh—it could include a brand-new model for 2025.
For the uninitiated, the big boy Rebel (there are smaller displacement models, like the 500 and 300) uses a 1,083cc parallel twin, which is already a force to be reckoned with, but this update whispers of five new variants: CMX1100A, CMX1100A2, CMX1100D, CMX1100D2, and the wildcard CMX1100D3.
Euro5+ standards, a notch above the current Euro5, mean these models breathe a little cleaner. Sure, carbon oxide levels creep up a bit, but hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides take a dip. Honda’s even squeezing a touch more power out of these variants—87.2 horsepower instead of the previous 85.8. No complaints there.
The “A” models stick with the classic manual transmission, while the “D” badge wears Honda’s slick dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The A2 and D2? They’re bagger versions with a mini-batwing fairing and side cases, ready for some light touring.
But the real intrigue is the CMX1100D3, a brand-new face. There’s no manual counterpart, just the DCT. It’s no speed demon—too heavy for that—but perhaps a more serious tourer, maybe sporting a top case and a redesigned subframe. Honda’s keeping me guessing.
If I were you, I’d keep an eye out for a grand reveal at EICMA in November or maybe even Intermot come December. It’s going to be interesting to see how Honda redefines its Rebel for 2025.
