Rider Profile

Best ForThis chopper suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a long, low, raked-out custom that demands deliberate, slow-speed handling skills.
PurposeBuilt as a show-stopping custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and style-focused riding rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 584mm seat height is easy to reach, but the extended rake, wide 250mm rear tire, and 317.5kg weight make it physically demanding to maneuver at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA bold, attention-grabbing rigid-look softail with a big S&S-tuned 111ci V-twin, chrome finishes, and custom spoke wheels that broadcasts old-school chopper attitude.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a nimble commuter for tight city streets.

2015 Big Bear Choppers Merc Softail 111 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 2015 Big Bear Choppers Merc Softail 111 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.
