Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a long, heavy, radically raked custom chopper that demands deliberate, confident inputs at low speed.
Purpose	Built for boulevard cruising and show-stopping presence rather than outright performance, cornering agility, or long-distance efficiency.
Rider Fit	The low 23-inch seat height is welcoming, but the stretched 88-inch wheelbase, extreme 48-degree rake, and 317.5 kg dry weight demand strong slow-speed handling skills and upper-body effort during maneuvers.
Character	A muscular, torque-heavy 100 cubic inch V-twin chopper that rewards riders who value bold styling, a commanding stance, and a slow-rolling, high-torque feel over sharp handling.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, easy-to-flick everyday commuter.

Units

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 2009 Big Bear Choppers Merc Softail 100 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.
