Rider Profile

Best ForThis chopper suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy, low-slung custom motorcycle with a steep rake and minimal suspension travel.
PurposeIt's built as a boulevard cruiser and visual statement piece, meant for relaxed straight-line riding and show-quality presence rather than performance.
Rider FitThe low 584mm seat height is approachable, but the extreme 40-degree rake, long wheelbase, and 321kg weight demand strong low-speed handling skills and upper body strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterExpect a laid-back, torque-driven V-twin character with a distinctive exhaust note, deliberate steering, and a commanding, custom-styled presence at every stoplight.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a nimble daily commuter.

2010 Big Bear Choppers Venom 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 Venom 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.
