Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation single that suits new and returning riders as easily as experienced ones looking for a simple classic-styled runabout.
PurposeBuilt for cafe-racer styled cruising around town and short scenic rides rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Rider FitA low 790mm seat height and modest 175kg wet weight make this an accessible, easy-to-manage bike for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a retro cafe-racer look with just enough power to feel lively at city speeds while remaining relaxed and non-threatening.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting sustained highway touring comfort, high top speeds, or any serious off-road capability.

2026 Cleveland Ace Racer 400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2026 Cleveland Ace Racer 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.
