Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 676 mm seat height makes it easier to put a foot down at stops.
Manageable weight
At 150.1 kg wet, the Rebel is relatively easy to handle when maneuvering at low speed.
Adjustable rear preload
Five preload settings let riders adjust the rear suspension for different loads.
Things to consider
Limited rear suspension travel
The rear wheel has 74 mm of travel, leaving less room to absorb bumps than the front suspension.
Rear drum brake
The rear uses an expanding drum brake rather than a disc.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
