With zsh:


Code:
zsh 4.3.4% ls
file1_11  file2_11  file3_11
zsh 4.3.4% autoload -U zmv
zsh 4.3.4% zmv '*' '${f/_11/}'
zsh 4.3.4% ls
file1  file2  file3

If you have rename:


Code:
zsh 4.3.4% ls
file1_11  file2_11  file3_11
zsh 4.3.4% type rename
rename is /usr/bin/rename
zsh 4.3.4% rename 's/_11//' *_11
zsh 4.3.4% ls
file1  file2  file3

Otherwise:


Code:
$ ls
file1_11  file2_11  file3_11
$ for f in *_11;do mv "$f" "${f%_11}";done
$ ls
file1  file2  file3
