At the heart of the 2016 Cleveland Heist custom - cruiser motorcycle, Cleveland pairs a 229 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.1 HP (10.3 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15.8 Nm (11.7 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 61.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Heist measures 132 kg (291 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 30 mm (1.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 113 km/h (70 mph).
