Engineered by Big Bear Choppers for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2010 Big Bear Choppers Athena 100 Smooth Carb pairs a 1638.8 cc (100 cu in) v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 149.2 Nm (110 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.6 x 101.6 mm (4.0 x 4.0 inches).
On the scales, the Athena 100 Smooth Carb measures 317.5 kg (700 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 508 mm (20 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 2,235 mm (88 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 16.55-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
