The 2010 Big Bear Choppers Rage 100 Smooth EFI stands as a distinctive entry in the custom chopper market, embodying the raw, stretched-out aesthetic that defined a significant era of American motorcycle design. While not a mass-produced model, it competed directly with other high-end custom builders and boutique manufacturers offering similar bespoke V-twin machines, such as models from West Coast Choppers or Bourget's Bike Works, appealing to riders seeking exclusivity and a bold visual statement over mainstream offerings.
At the heart of the Rage 100 Smooth EFI is a formidable 1638.8 ccm (100.00 cubic inches) V-twin engine. This powerplant generates a substantial 95.0 HP (69.3 kW) and an impressive 151.9 Nm (15.5 kgf-m or 112.0 ft.lbs) of torque, providing ample thrust for its size. Despite its considerable output, the motorcycle carries a dry weight of 317.5 kg (700.0 pounds), which is typical for choppers of this displacement and build. Fuel capacity is a practical 14.19 litres (3.75 US gallons), offering a reasonable range for extended cruises.
Riding the Rage 100 Smooth EFI is an experience defined by its chopper heritage. The ultra-low 508 mm (20.0 inches) seat height, if adjustable, is at its lowest setting, positions the rider deep within the frame, contributing to a distinctive low-slung feel. The stretched wheelbase and raked-out front end, characteristic of choppers, dictate a specific handling dynamic, favoring straight-line stability and a relaxed, feet-forward riding posture. While not designed for aggressive cornering, the substantial torque ensures responsive acceleration and effortless cruising, making for a commanding presence on the road.
This motorcycle is aimed squarely at the rider who prioritizes unique styling, a powerful V-twin rumble, and a custom aesthetic above all else. It's for the individual who wants to make a strong visual impression and appreciates the craftsmanship of a hand-built machine. The Rage 100 Smooth EFI delivers a quintessential chopper experience, combining significant power with an unmistakable, iconic design that truly sets it apart from more conventional cruisers.
