Built around Cleveland's naked motorcycle platform, the 2022 Cleveland Misfit 2 utilizes a 229 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.4 HP (11.2 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16 Nm (11.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 67.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 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 Misfit 2 measures 154 kg (340 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
