Rider Profile

Best ForThis lightweight single-cylinder cruiser is well suited to new or returning riders who want a simple, low-intimidation machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's designed as a stylish, low-displacement urban cruiser for short hops and casual riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy for shorter or less physically strong riders to handle at a stop and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterIt suits a laid-back rider who values retro styling and a relaxed, unhurried riding experience over speed or long-distance capability.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, passenger-friendly long rides, or any kind of off-road or high-speed performance.

2016 Cleveland Ace Standard 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 Standard, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
