CCW Heist is the cruiser motorcycle for those who wish for customisation. The chopper styled cruiser bikes celebrates the classic and simple cruiser bike bits from a traditional frame and a traditional style motor to lack of extra brackets, tabs and fake plastic parts. The lack of add-ons makes the Heist lightweight despite having 2,200mm length.

CCW Heist gets signature cruiser attributes like the relaxed riding position, forward set footrests and high set handlebar. The motorcycle comes with just rider seat, tear-drop styled fuel tank and spoke wheels, inspired by classic biking styling. The fuel tank comes in blank canvas to allow the owners to leave their own paint customisation.

The Heist come powered by a 229cc single cylinder air-cooled engine that develops 15.4hp and 16Nm of peak torque and is mated to a five-speed gearbox. This is the same engine that also powers the newly launched Ace deluxe and Misfit.
