Rider Profile

Best ForThis chopper suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a long, low, rigid-frame custom that demands deliberate, slow-speed handling skills.
PurposeBuilt as a radical-styled boulevard cruiser and show bike, it's meant for making a visual statement on straight, smooth roads rather than for performance riding.
Rider FitThe extreme 48-degree rake, long wheelbase, and rigid rear end put the rider in a stretched-out, low-seat riding position that transmits every road imperfection directly to the spine.
CharacterIt rewards a laid-back, image-conscious rider who values sound, stance, and torque-rich cruising over cornering agility or ride refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking nimble handling, all-day touring comfort, passenger accommodation, or any kind of off-road capability.

2010 Big Bear Choppers Merc Rigid 100 Smooth Carb Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 584mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Big Bear Choppers Merc Rigid 100 Smooth Carb, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
