With it's minimalist bodywork almost covered by a huge bridge like aluminum frame, and a big V4 engine, the Ariel Ace looks like a custom bike or perhaps one of those concept bikes. Don't back out because the Ace is on it's way for production and will arrive to showroom showcases soon. Ariel has already established and demanded it's space in the market with it's light weight sports cars. Ariel company had seized the production of it's old bike in the mid-sixties. The Ariel Ace's frame isn't made from welded steel tube, rather the frame sides are machined from solid aluminum. The bike comes with an option of two alternative front suspensions, either a conventional upside-down telescopic fork or Ariel's own girder fork. Rear suspension uses a single-sided swingarm. Final drive is shaft drive, a shaft drive is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.

Will that big V4 engine be ideal for the task, is a question yet to be answered. Combining Honda sophistication and the convenience of shaft final drive with an amusing performance. It also has an appealing, long-legged character that is enhanced by Ariel's exhaust system, which has the growling vocal, demanding the rider to break the limits. The Ace's riding position is proportioned to a comfort zone, where the driver feels relaxed. The handlebars are raised to medium height neatly, the reduced weight combined with crisp fueling helps give the Ace thrilling and in control acceleration. With abundant grip from broad Dunlop and fierce braking via six-piston. The footrests have been criticized, but along with the option menus footrests also have it's space reserved. The rumored rivals to this bike would be the Ducati Diavel Carbon, Honda Crosstourer and the Yamaha V-Max.

With the Ace marking it's territory in the bike market and Ariel alerting everyone that they are still into the motorcycle business with the dramatically styled, cleverly engined Ace revealed. The Ariel Ace can be ordered from the factory, with various factory customized options. The price of this machine stands at £20,000.
