Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable handling a long, heavy, extreme-rake chopper at low speeds and in tight spaces.
Purpose	Built as a bold, head-turning custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show-quality style rather than performance riding.
Rider Fit	The low 20-inch seat height aids reach to the ground, but the 700-pound dry weight and stretched wheelbase demand upper-body strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds.
Character	A rumbling, torque-heavy V-twin custom with a laid-back stance, wide rear tire, and aggressive 44-degree rake that broadcasts pure chopper attitude.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a bike suited to long, fast highway touring.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 508mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Big Bear Choppers Athena 100 Carb, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
