Overview

Introducing the 2018 Cleveland Iron One—an exemplification of custom-cruiser craftsmanship that stands out in today’s motorcycle market. As Cleveland's debut model, this motorcycle captures the essence of classic styling combined with modern performance. With its striking, minimalist design, the Iron One is perfect for riders seeking an authentic cruising experience without the clutter of excessive technology. It’s a bike that invites you to embrace the open road, offering a unique blend of retro aesthetics and contemporary engineering that caters to both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Cleveland Iron One lies a spirited 229cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a punchy 14.08 horsepower at 7,000 RPM. This power plant is not just about numbers; it provides a satisfying torque of 16 Nm at 5,500 RPM, ensuring a smooth and confident ride through urban streets or winding backroads. The air-cooled engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox, allowing for nimble acceleration while achieving a top speed of 112.7 km/h (70 mph). Riders will appreciate the balance between lightweight design, with a total weight of just 132 kg (291 pounds), and the forgiving suspension setup: 37mm standard forks up front and a rear configuration that accommodates both shocks and springs. This results in a comfortable ride that can handle the bumps and irregularities of everyday riding. The Cleveland Iron One is not just about its engine; it also boasts a plethora of thoughtful features that enhance the riding experience. The bike is equipped with both electric and kick starters, showcasing a nod to vintage styling while maintaining modern usability. With a seat height of just 680mm, it accommodates riders of various statures, making it accessible for many. The single-disc brakes—290mm at the front and 240mm at the rear—provide reliable stopping power, while the sleek black color option adds to its understated charm. With an 8-litre fuel tank, riders can enjoy extended journeys without frequent refueling stops, further emphasizing the Iron One's role as a true companion for cruisers. **
