The 2010 Big Bear Choppers Rage 100 Smooth Carb emerges from a lineage known for its distinctive, custom-inspired cruisers, offering a powerful statement on two wheels. As a factory-built chopper, it carved its niche among riders seeking a unique aesthetic and substantial power without venturing into full custom fabrication. In its segment, it faced off against other high-end, production choppers and custom-style cruisers such as models from Saxon Motorcycles or even high-end offerings from established brands like Harley-Davidson’s CVO line, albeit with a distinctly different styling philosophy.
At the heart of the Rage 100 lies a potent 1638.8 ccm (100.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This air-cooled powerhouse generates a robust 95.0 HP (69.3 kW) of power, ensuring ample thrust for any riding scenario. More impressively, it produces a substantial 151.9 Nm (15.5 kgf-m or 112.0 ft.lbs) of torque, providing that characteristic cruiser pull from low RPMs. Weighing in at 317.5 kg (700.0 pounds), the Rage 100 is a substantial machine, but its powerful engine manages this weight with authority. Fuel capacity stands at 14.67 litres (3.88 US gallons), offering a decent range for extended rides.
Riding the Rage 100 is an experience defined by its low-slung stance and stretched proportions. The ultra-low seat height, at a mere 508 mm (20.0 inches) at its lowest setting, makes it accessible for riders of varying statures while reinforcing its custom chopper aesthetic. The long wheelbase and raked-out front end contribute to stable cruising on straightaways, providing a relaxed, feet-forward riding position typical of the style. While not designed for aggressive cornering, its handling is predictable and manageable for its class, focusing on comfort and presence over agility.
The 2010 Big Bear Choppers Rage 100 Smooth Carb caters to a specific demographic: riders who appreciate the raw appeal and custom look of a chopper, but desire the reliability and factory support of a production motorcycle. It appeals to those who value a strong V-twin rumble, a commanding road presence, and a comfortable, laid-back riding posture. For riders seeking a distinctive, powerful, and visually striking cruiser that stands apart from more conventional offerings, the Rage 100 delivers a compelling package.
