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, we have the Ariel Ace. We appreciate 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 just won’t get it. But if you are, you’ll understand the Ace.
“Famed for their obsessive attention to detail
the Ariel frame is a work of art”
fast bikes
At the heart of each Ace is a unique aluminium perimeter frame. Recognisably Ariel, remarkably ingenious and something we’re justifiably proud of. It takes over 70 hours to machine from 6 billets of aluminium which are then welded by hand and hard anodised to form a piece of engineering that is not only a structural masterpiece but also a work of art. As a motorcyclist you’ll appreciate the beauty in a piece of engineering, the thought, the care and the precision that has gone into every single component of an Ace.

“the Ariel sounds is that of hislop and dunlop flat out over the mountain“
bike
Ariel power? We chose Honda, of course. As a nod to the Square 4 it’s a V4, 1237cc and 173bhp. Enough power to propel you to over 165mph if you’re in the mood or just cruise along and enjoy the ride if you’re in another. The Ace is designed to fit you and what you want to do, not the other way round. ABS, switchable traction control and shaft drive as standard. Plus that V4 exhaust note that will make you grin every time you start the bike. But above all that ingredient that you can’t specify – Passion – because at Ariel we understand that too.
Like every Ariel we make each Ace is tailor made and individually built by one technician from start to finish. He’ll only put his name on it when he’s happy because until it’s ready it’s his Ace and his baby. A unique bespoke build system that allows you specify YOUR bike not A bike. Different forks, tanks, seats, handlebars, exhausts, body panels and even head angles. Choose from an array of options so that we can make your Ace exactly the way you want it. And there’ll never be another one the same.
