Review
The 2015 Big Bear Choppers Merc Softail 111 Carb offers a blend of classic chopper styling and modern comfort. It's powered by a strong 1819.1cc (111 cubic inch) engine, producing 115.8 horsepower and 166.5 Nm of torque, ensuring ample power for cruising and acceleration. The 5-speed gearbox provides a direct connection to the engine, while the softail suspension offers a more compliant ride than a rigid frame. The bike features a clean and uncluttered design, highlighting its mechanical components. The front suspension uses a BBC Merc Springer, adding to its vintage appeal. A single disc brake with a 4-piston caliper handles stopping duties. The larger 22.23-liter (5.87 US gallons) fuel tank allows for extended rides between fill-ups. This model is designed for riders who appreciate the chopper aesthetic but desire a more comfortable and practical riding experience. It's ideal for those who enjoy longer rides and want some relief from the harshness of a rigid frame. If you're seeking a stylish and powerful chopper that's also comfortable for everyday riding, the Merc Softail 111 Carb is a great option.
