Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, modest power, and manageable single-cylinder character.
PurposeIt's built primarily as a stylish urban commuter and casual weekend cruiser rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low 790mm seat height and light 150kg weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a classic retro-cafe personality with a punchy single-cylinder engine, giving it charm and simplicity over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting serious highway touring, two-up comfort, or off-road capability.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Cleveland Ace 400, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
