OverviewEdit
Big Bear Choppers Redemption Conventional
The Rage is desired by enthusiasts who want to ride a Big Bear Chopper with a shorter wheelbase and less rake than the others in the fleet, for more responsive handling. It shares the same components high end as our famous Venom ProStreet featuring the polished proprietary V111 low vibration engine, a Baker® 6-speed overdrive tranny, an exclusive primary, chrome frontend and controls with a digital gauge. Chassis configuration includes a drop seat of 20 off the ground, a manageable wheelbase with a conservative 43° neck rake, foot and hand controls reaching towards the rider for a comfortable position, patented unique fuel tank design, patented oil tank design holding 5 quarts, 250mm rear tire with a right side final drive. Bottom line, the Rage feels and handles very nimble for you riders that love to carve the corners with style points.
Engine
Reliability, power and comfort... the best of all worlds. And when we say reliability, we not only mean the life of the engine, but the life of motorcycle and everything that's bolted to it. Branded as V111,' this internally reformed 111 cubic inch engine boasts a healthy 122.8 lbs. of torque at the crank. With a configuration of a 4 1/8 bore and 4 1/8 stroke, proprietary compression ratios, redesigned cam timing, and reciprocating weights all result in an incredibly smooth running engine while meeting all the strict legal requirements. While looking like any other S&S Super Sidewinder engine from the outside, the essence of this new engine is the low vibration. High engine vibration is an enemy to both the rider and the motorcycle. The effects of high engine vibration may cause premature rider fatigue as well. Eliminate engine vibration and you will eliminate potential problems.
Between the EFI and the carbureted V111,
there isnt going to be much of a difference in performance,
provided you maintain constant ambient conditions (humidity,
temperature, elevation, etc.). This is where the beauty of the
closed-loop EFI system comes into play. The system is
continuously monitoring the engine, and tuning itself to
optimize performance for that given scenario or environment. So,
while you might not be able to notice power difference between
the EFI and a carbureted engine, once you take that bike up the
mountain, or get a day thats significantly hotter than the day
it was tuned, that EFI engine will easily outperform the
carbureted engine (unless you want to take a supply of different
jets with you on the ride).
Transmission and Drivetrain
This is the original 6-speed design that revolutionized the American V-Twin industry. Yet, it's still the best overdrive 6-speed built to this day ...hands down. This Detroit built tranny is designed and manufactured to comfortably handle the power from our engines while looking good behind it.
Keeping with the mindset of making form and function coexisting, this newly designed proprietary primary is built tough and reliable along with a very sleek, new generation styled aesthetics with a cool BBC branded inspection cover. This primary drive is approximately 200% stronger than most other manufacturers primaries with its machined forged aluminum inner and outer cases. The dense aluminum material makes for a unit that does not flex under heavy torque, and absorbs most engine vibration. Another great attribute that sets this primary drive ahead of the curve is the triple seal design on the main shaft, as opposed to an industry standard single seal, insuring virtually no leaks. The starter motor shaft accessory plate is removable for an easy starter change-out. The internals utilize an easy-to-replace standard type clutch basket and a compensating sprocket for a smooth power transfer.
Electrical
We teamed up with Wire-Plus, the industry's leader in motorcycle electronics, to design a wiring harness with no compromises. Combine this harness with the high-end brand name electrical components like the Spyke charging system and the Crane ignition, and we're sure your seat time will be long. You won't be on the side of the road kicking rocks.
Frame and Body
The Rage design is unique in that it has an extra stretch in the mid section of the frame behind the transmission. This allows for a low seat height from the oil tank being located behind the tranny as opposed to hanging on top of it. The rider is seated inside the bike as opposed to on top, and is especailly comfortable for smaller inseam riders. This ingenious drop seat makes for a motorcycle that feels and handles unbelievably balanced and a blast to ride. The sunken seat allows the rider to be positioned inside the chassis, boasting more control and adding to the unique sensation of riding low to the ground. The frame is the foundation of the motorcycle's aesthetics and reliability. All our frames are designed and manufactured in house in our San Bernardino facility. Every frame component (e.g. neck, side plates, tank mounts, tranny plate, axle adjusters, etc) are CNC manufactured with precision. Utilizing a 0.250 wall, 1.5 tube steel for the backbone and 0.160 wall, 1.125 tube for the rest of the frame, BBC uses the best steel possible for our frames. All frames are 100% TIG welded for a clean, strong and precise fusion. We think we make a statement about our confidence with a lifetime warranty on the frames we make. Like our frames, our tanks and fenders are designed and manufactured in-house. We produce the sheetmetal with the frame as a unit, then gets 'mock-up' before we hand it over to our painters or ship it out to the unassembled kit customers. We use heavy duty 12 gauge steel for our fenders and 14 gauge steel for the tanks. All tanks are pressure tested and the fenders are computer cut. We guarantee and warranty any leaks from the tanks and cracks in the fenders for your lifetime.
