The 2009 Big Bear Choppers Athena 100 EFI is a custom chopper with a focus on clean lines and a low-slung profile. Power comes from a 1638cc (100 cubic inch) engine, promising ample torque for cruising. A 6-speed gearbox allows the rider to keep the engine in its sweet spot. The ultra-low 508mm (20-inch) seat height contributes to the bike's aggressive stance, but might be challenging for taller riders.
Weighing in at 317.5 kg (700 lbs), the Athena demands respect and a deliberate riding style. The single front disc brake with a PM 4-piston caliper provides stopping power, while the BBC Smooth Mount Hidden Axle front suspension contributes to the bike's streamlined appearance. With a fuel tank capacity of 16.08 liters (4.25 US gallons), longer rides will require planning for fuel stops.
This chopper is aimed squarely at riders who prioritize aesthetics and a distinctive presence on the road. The Athena is for those who appreciate the raw, visceral experience of a custom-built motorcycle and are willing to trade some practicality for style and individuality.
