All specifications on this page were taken directly from Bad Boy, the manufacturer. Figures from Bad Boy Rebel X specs, checked November 2, 2026: Bad Boy Rebel X specs. "Width (deck out)" is the OEM "Width (Chute Up / Chute Down)" figure given both ways.

What the X adds

Both decks come with the same two engines: the Kawasaki FX1000V EFI at 38.5 hp, or the Vanguard V-Twin EFI at 40 hp. The Kawasaki's 999 cc and the Vanguard's 993 cc. Either one drives a Hydro-Gear 5400 16cc integrated transaxle, with a top speed of 12 mph.

Tires are no-flat at both ends. You get 24x12-12 VPO ReaPro no-flat turf tires in back and 13x6.5-6 smooth no-flat tires up front. The deck's 1/4-inch, or 3-gauge, solid steel with reinforced 3/8-inch sides. It cuts from 1 to 5 inches, so you can go low on a sports field or leave it tall on a dry lot.

Who it's for

The Rebel X is for mowing that doesn't stop much. Think of a crew running the same mower every morning, or a big property that needs cutting each week of the season. A flat tire can stop your day cold, and no-flat tires take that worry off the list. The tank holds 13 gallons.

It's a big machine. The 61 weighs 1,494 lb and the 72 weighs 1,531 lb. With the chute up, they're 63.5 and 74.5 inches wide. Chute down, they're 75.5 and 86.5. Make sure your trailer and your gates can take that. If you'd like a smaller deck, look at the Rebel.

For a crew, a 72-inch deck at 12 mph is a lot of mowing per hour. Plan your blade and belt work before spring, when our shops get busy. When you order parts, have the model number ready. The counter needs it to find the right part.

Questions people ask

Does a Bad Boy Rebel X have no-flat tires?

Yes, front and rear. The rear tires are 24x12-12 VPO ReaPro no-flat turf tires, and the fronts are 13x6.5-6 smooth no-flat. That's the same on the 61 and the 72. It's one less thing you'll have to fix in the middle of a job.

What transmission does the Bad Boy Rebel X use?

It uses a Hydro-Gear 5400 16cc integrated transaxle on both deck sizes. Top speed forward is 12 mph. With 38.5 or 40 hp in front of it, that's a drive sized for long days of heavy cutting.

On a Bad Boy Rebel X, which engine is bigger, the Kawasaki or the Vanguard?

By displacement, the Kawasaki FX1000V EFI is a little bigger at 999 cc. The Vanguard V-Twin EFI is 993 cc. The Vanguard's rated higher, though, at 40 hp to the Kawasaki's 38.5. Both come on the 61 and 72-inch decks.
