Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to riders who already have solid experience handling long, heavy, low-slung custom cruisers.
PurposeIt's built as a boulevard chopper and image machine, meant for cruising and showing off rather than for outright performance.
Rider FitThe stretched wheelbase, wide 250mm rear tire, and 34-degree raked front end demand deliberate, strength-based steering input at low speed and in parking maneuvers.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, high-torque V-twin personality that rewards relaxed throttle-rolling rides over aggressive cornering attacks.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting nimble handling, off-road capability, or a light, flickable ride through tight corners.

2011 Big Bear Choppers Bear Bones Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 483mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Big Bear Choppers Bear Bones, 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.
