Positioned in Cleveland's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Cleveland Ace Deluxe features a 229 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.1 HP (10.3 kW) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 61.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Ace Deluxe measures 126 kg (278 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,325 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
