Review
The 2010 Big Dog Ridgeback continues the tradition of its namesake, offering a visually striking and powerful chopper experience. Its 1917cc engine delivers significant torque, providing the kind of low-end grunt expected in this category. The 6-speed gearbox helps manage the engine's considerable power. The bike's weight of 308 kg contributes to its stability on the road, although it requires some effort to maneuver at slower speeds. The very low 616 mm seat height aids in manageability. The ergonomics are classic chopper: stretched-out arms, forward controls, and a low seat that accentuates the bike's long, lean profile. The 41mm telescopic front suspension offers a degree of comfort, but the focus remains firmly on delivering a distinctive riding experience. The single front disc brake with a 4-piston caliper provides adequate stopping power for typical cruising speeds. Its 16.6 litre fuel tank provides a reasonable range. This Ridgeback is targeted at riders who appreciate the raw, unfiltered feel of a traditional American chopper. It's for those who value style and presence over outright performance or practicality. This bike is primarily about the experience of riding a true head-turner.
