- On today's episode of The TPS Motovlog: The Rebel 1100 DCT
Honda has many motorcycles with the DCT (automatic) transmission available, and the Rebel 1100 is one of them. On this episode we show how the system works on the Rebel! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I traded my Harley Road Glide this January for a DCT and I love it. Just FYI the bike learns how you ride so as you ride it will slightly adjust shifts. Then remember, it's an automatic. So stop thinking about it. Twist the throttle and ride and enjoy. You don't think about how your automatic car upshifts and downshifts so same goes here. The first thing almost everyone says is "I wouldn't shift that way on my bike" and of course she said it. It's a DCT/Automatic so it doesn't care how you ride yet. If you just want all the power, put it in sport mode and it will hold that gear much longer. I ride in Standard most of the time and if I need to speed up, I twist the throttle. And other time when I don't care about MPG I'll put it in sport mode but not too often. I love riding the 1100DCT. Definitely recommend
Especially when the hands get slightly arthritic.
Im a beginner and I appreciate all the talking and explaining..it goes a long way for someone learning and planning to invest a lot of money into a new bike. Thanks for this
That's what we're here for! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very interesting review, nice explanation on the transmission operation. Also, I like how you talk like a normal person, like we’re hanging out talking about bikes. Other folks review like we’re in class or they’re making a commercial.
Good morning, thanks for your kind words and checking out our content. I am big fan of motorcycles and I just want to share my passion with others who also enjoy them!
This is kind of an important channel being from a woman’s viewpoint. You’re gonna be huge! I’m a Sound Engineer so…. some minor advice: move your in-helmet mic a touch if possible so your “P” and “S” sounds don’t overwhelm it- the regular one rocks. Volume level is excellent. Also, when you jump on the bike, if you can give the inseam of your pant length and your overall height so others, like my wife, will have a bit of an idea how she will fit on it. Otherwise, love your energy and how you recovered from the tech failure lol. Keep goin’ and hope this year is one of exponential growth for your channel. Subscription earned!

Good morning, and thanks for the kind words and advice! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
The ECU on the bike has an adaptive learning curve in it. So the way it shifts now will slowly change to fit the driver as the miles go by. I absolutely love my Rebel 1100 DCT. Oh, people complain about the seat in the reveal videos. After about 2k miles, its no longer an issue. Honda made it a bit stiff so itll break in better.
I learned something today, that is pretty cool! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Do you feel the tank is a bit on the small side.
@@johnmartin7158 I believe it could've been made to hold a bit more. Maybe a gallon at the most
great video. I just relax ride and enjoy!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Any idea what exhaust they put on it? It does sound really nice
Great question, its not one of the name brand ones that I recognize, but I found the exact one on ebay at the following listing: www.google.com/search?q=dual+exhaust+rebel+1100&sca_esv=9c26c6ed14122257&sca_upv=1&biw=1300&bih=647&tbm=shop&sxsrf=ACQVn09YNBMAMntmCIr57kv81MRY0erpsg%3A1712781216907&ei=oPcWZpLNNo63wN4P9M214Ao&ved=0ahUKEwiSnYugv7iFAxWOG9AFHfRmDawQ4dUDCAg&uact=5&oq=dual+exhaust+rebel+1100&gs_lp=Egtwcm9kdWN0cy1jYyIXZHVhbCBleGhhdXN0IHJlYmVsIDExMDBI0jJQ-AVY-jBwBXgAkAEAmAFyoAGQEaoBBDI1LjK4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhigApYNwgIEECMYJ8ICChAAGIAEGIoFGEPCAgUQABiABMICBxAAGIAEGArCAgYQABgWGB6YAwCIBgGSBwQyMS4zoAe3XA&sclient=products-cc#spd=16128346344876446472
By feathering the rear brake at slow speed it is like the friction zone of the clutch. Just a FYI.
What is that exhaust?
Quite different from the Yamaha V Max.
Lol, no kidding!
Content seems great - can't handle the vid, too much camera tilt and shake.
Thats probably my fault, I tend to talk with my head and hands more than I should...
Hi Sarah, to much yak, not enough riding. Thanks for sharing though take care.
Its usually 50/50 yak/ride ratio, but my camera malfunctioned halfway through this video so I ended up with 75/25. Apologies, I'll do better next time.
