PurposeBuilt as a light, single-cylinder café racer-styled cruiser for casual city riding and short scenic jaunts rather than serious performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has classic café racer looks with modest, easygoing performance, prioritizing style and simplicity over speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway touring, high-speed riding, or carrying a passenger over long distances.

2016 Cleveland Ace Cafe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Cleveland Ace Cafe, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
