A 650cc high-compression variant of the Huntmaster, the Ariel Cyclone was a very rare bike. It seems that the list of documented Cyclones is 174 over two years of production. Ariel called it their “Super Sports Twin”, thanks to a 40 horsepower engine that was an option on the Huntmaster. Text from an Ariel ad in 1959: “Powerful, fast, unsurpassed for blazing acceleration and honest dependability. The 1959 Cyclone Twin is a beautiful motorcycle, superbly finished. Two-tone red and black tank, chrome plated fenders, polished alloy hubs, and many other parts in bright chrome present a really sparkling appearance in a world-famous 40 cubic inch Sports Twin.”
