2023 · Classic
The 2023 Cleveland Ace Scrambler continues the brand's tradition of producing accessible, retro-inspired motorcycles. As a modern classic in the sub-250cc segment, it offers a distinct aesthetic and riding experience. It finds itself in a competitive space, vying for attention against models like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Benelli Leoncino 250, all aiming to capture riders seeking a blend of vintage charm and contemporary reliability.
At the heart of the Ace Scrambler is a 249.0 ccm (15.19 cubic inches) twin, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a modest 16.9 HP (12.3 kW) at 8500 RPM, with a torque output of 16.0 Nm (1.6 kgf-m or 11.8 ft.lbs) arriving at 6000 RPM. These figures allow the Scrambler to reach a top speed of 112.7 km/h (70.0 mph), making it suitable for urban commutes and leisurely weekend rides. Fuel capacity stands at a practical 15.00 litres (3.96 US gallons), offering a decent range between fill-ups.
Riding the Ace Scrambler is characterized by its comfortable, upright stance, typical of a classic category motorcycle. The seat height is a manageable 790 mm (31.1 inches), which, if adjustable, represents the lowest setting, making it approachable for a wide range of riders. Its scrambler heritage suggests a suspension setup capable of handling varied road conditions, from paved streets to light off-road paths, without being overly aggressive. The overall ergonomics prioritize rider comfort over aggressive sportiness, fitting its classic designation.
The 2023 Cleveland Ace Scrambler is aimed at riders who appreciate a motorcycle with a timeless design and straightforward operation. It appeals to those seeking an accessible entry into the classic motorcycle scene or a practical, stylish machine for daily use. Its modest power output and comfortable ergonomics make it a non-intimidating option for new riders, while its retro styling offers a nostalgic appeal for seasoned motorcyclists looking for a relaxed ride.
