If straight-line speed is your priority, the Diavel V4 RS takes the lead. With 96 HP more than the CMX1100 Rebel, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days.

Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the CMX1100 Rebel. Its seat height is 90mm lower than the Diavel V4 RS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the diavel-v4 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
