Engineered by Cleveland for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2025 Cleveland Misfit 400 Twin relies on a 400 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 28.2 HP (20.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 70.5 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 400 Twin measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.32 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, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
