Cleveland Cyclewerks Ace

20 August 2018: After its official debut in India Auto Expo 2018, Cleveland CycleWerks is set to launch four of its motorcycles, the Ace Café 250, Ace Scrambler 250, Ace Deluxe 250 and the Misfit, this October. The Ace is a classic commuter motorcycle with a low seat height. Upfront, it gets a round chrome headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank and raised fenders. There is an analogue single-pod instrument console displaying essential information. Mid-set footpegs and the raised handlebar make it for an upright riding position. With a flat, cross-stitched brown seat, the Ace looks a complete retro bike with a modern touch. Power is courtesy a single-cylinder, air-cooled 229cc powerplant that produces 15.4PS at 7,000rpm and 16Nm of peak torque at 6,000rpm. Cleveland CycleWerks claims a top speed of 110Kmph. Chassis consists of a single downtube frame linked to upside-down front forks and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 300mm single front disc and rear drum brake. The dual-purpose tyres should be capable of handling the rough stuff as well. Cleveland CycleWerks will be getting its bikes to India via the CKD route and expected price would be between Rs 2 to 2.5 Lakh (Ex-showroom).
