CCW or Cleveland Cyclewerks India – who will bring them here will compete in retro, cafe racers and other niche segments…
At this point of time, everybody sees India as a very potential market in terms of business. We already have manufacturers like Benelli, UM, Moto Guzzi who have set shops and another manufacturer SWM is coming very soon. The next to join this list will be Cleveland Cyclewerks!
Who is Cleveland Cyclewerks?
Cleveland Cyclewerks is a very new American motorcycle brand which was setup in 2009 and headquarters from Cleveland, Ohio. They already sell motorcycles in 23 countries now. We got to know about their Indian entry when they tagged us in a Tweet. We connected with them to understand details about their plans and according to their Indian website (yes, it is already up and running) we get the following details..
Cleveland Cyclewerks India Plans
- Laish-Madison Motor Werks – a Hyderabad based firm will take care of their Indian operations.
- They will sell motorcycles in the 250-500cc range in India.
- The motorcycles will be assembled in India.
- The company is headquartered in Mumbai and the assembly plant has been setup near Hyderabad.
- Initially, the assembly plant will have a capacity of 30,000 bikes per year. Cleveland intends to increase this to 40,000+ units in two years’ time.
CCW Motorcycles
Cleveland Motorwerks has plans to launch the cafe racer MISFIT (most interesting), the retro commuter ACE and off-road bike FXR in India. All these are pictured on their Indian website (and on this page). They have two more motorcycles in the portfolio – bobber HEIST and dual-sport HOOLIGUN which are probably not a part of India’s plan as of now.
