Cleveland Cyclewerks Ace Deluxe vs Benelli Imperiale 400 Comparison

The Cleveland Ace Deluxe has its positives, and there are some areas of improvement, but it's got a difficult task cut out for it, even though retro motorcycles seem to be the flavor of the market right now. The Ace Deluxe is priced at an introductory ₹ 1.85 lakh, and that price tag will be a big challenge to get customers walking into a CCW dealership, and that too, considering you still miss out on ABS and fuel injection.

The Imperiale 400 could be quite an enjoyable companion on a relaxed ride taking in the sights. Despite the minor vibes, the engine never loses its smoothness, nor does it feel like it will fall apart, even after sustained triple digit speed riding. And that is what makes the Imperiale 400 feel noticeably different. It's not a performance bike by a long shot, but a retro classic, meant for easy, relaxed riding. If that is the kind of motorcycle you seek, it ticks all the right boxes.
