Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy, radically raked custom chopper at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a show-stopping boulevard cruiser and style statement rather than a performance or utility machine.
Rider FitIts 508mm seat height is low and easy to reach, but the long wheelbase, 44-degree rake, and 317.5kg weight demand strength and confidence in slow maneuvers like parking and U-turns.
CharacterA big-inch, torque-heavy S&S V-twin wrapped in an extreme hardtail-look softail frame with a fat 23-inch front wheel, designed to turn heads at cruise nights and rallies.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a practical everyday commuter.

2009 Big Bear Choppers Paradox 100 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 2009 Big Bear Choppers Paradox 100 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.
