Rider Profile

Best ForThis chopper suits an experienced rider comfortable with a long, stretched-out custom bike that demands deliberate, confident inputs at low speed.
PurposeIt's built primarily for boulevard cruising and making a visual statement rather than for outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and forward-set feet are easy to reach, but the extreme rake, long wheelbase, and heavy 317.5 kg dry weight demand real upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterIt rewards a rider who values style, presence, and torque-driven cruising over agility or technical cornering ability.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a nimble daily commuter.

2010 Big Bear Choppers Athena 100 Smooth EFI Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2010 Big Bear Choppers Athena 100 Smooth EFI, 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.
