The 2015 Big Bear Choppers Athena Pro Street 111 Carb stands as a distinctive entry in the custom cruiser segment, showcasing the brand's dedication to unique aesthetics and powerful V-twin architecture. This model continues the Pro Street lineage, which prioritizes a stretched, aggressive stance combined with a comfortable ride. In its competitive landscape, the Athena Pro Street would find itself vying for attention against other high-end custom builders and production models like the Harley-Davidson CVO Breakout or Indian Chief Dark Horse, all aiming to capture the rider seeking a strong visual statement and substantial power.
At its heart, the Athena Pro Street 111 Carb is propelled by a robust 1819.1 ccm (111.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This large-displacement powerplant generates a formidable torque output of 166.5 Nm (17.0 kgf-m or 122.8 ft.lbs), ensuring ample thrust across the rev range. Despite its considerable engine size, the motorcycle tips the scales at 317.5 kg (700.0 pounds), a figure that speaks to its substantial build. Fuel capacity is a practical 14.19 litres (3.75 US gallons), offering a reasonable range between fill-ups for its class.
Riding characteristics of the Athena Pro Street are defined by its low-slung design and stretched wheelbase. The exceptionally low seat height of 508 mm (20.0 inches) (when adjustable, at its lowest setting) positions the rider deep within the bike, contributing to a planted feel and easy flat-footing for most. This cruiser-style ergonomics, with forward controls and a wide handlebar, promotes a relaxed, comfortable posture ideal for long stretches of highway. The substantial weight aids in stability, particularly at speed, while the V-twin rumble provides an authentic auditory experience.
The 2015 Big Bear Choppers Athena Pro Street 111 Carb is aimed squarely at the rider who values individuality, raw power, and an unmistakable road presence. It caters to those who appreciate the craftsmanship of a custom-built motorcycle and are drawn to its assertive styling. This is not a motorcycle for the timid, but rather for the enthusiast who wants a powerful, head-turning machine for cruising and making an impression, offering a unique alternative to mass-produced cruisers.
