Innovation. Passion. Daring. Since their first motorcycle in 1901 Ariel have been synonymous with breaking the rules. Minerva, Square 4, Red Hunter, Arrow; all revolutionary in their way. Unconventional and brilliant. And now, over a century later, the Ariel Ace. Following that Ariel tradition but looking firmly at today and into the future.
Retro isn’t a word in the Ariel dictionary. And Ariel understand the passion, your passion, for motorcycles. Why? Because they’re motorcyclists too. Through and through. They ride, they compete, they love and they cherish. So they understand that a motorcycle is more than transport, more than speed and handling. It’s an emotion. Inside you. And if you’re not a motorcyclist you won’t get it. But if you are, you’ll understand the Ace.

The magnificence in a bit of machining, the idea, the consideration and the exactness that has gone into each and every component. What’s more, once more, since you cherish cruisers, you’ll get it.
Ariel control? Honda, obviously. Used to boundaries in the Ariel Atom and now the Nomad. Demonstrated on two wheels a great many occasions, from driving to hustling, from visiting to your most loved stretch of street. Trustworthy, dependable, correct power. V4, 1237cc, 173bhp. Enough to impel you to 165mph in case you’re in the state of mind or journey along in case you’re in another. The Ace is intended to fit you and what you need to do; not the other route round.
