Horsepower 95 bhp
Torque 110 lb/ft
Induction S&S Super E Carburetor
Air Cleaner S&S Tear Drop

Warranty 2 Year / 20,000 Mile
Overview 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 '100 SMOOTH,' this internally reformed
100 cubic inch engine boasts a healthy 110 lbs.
of torque. With a square configuration of a 4.00
bore and 4.00 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.

#2 BBC-S&S 100 SMOOTH EFI Evolution
Finish Polished Case & Chrome Covers

Horsepower 95 bhp
Torque 110 lb/ft
Induction S&S Electronic Fuel Injection
Air Cleaner S&S Tear Drop
Oil Pump S&S High Volume
Warranty 2 Year / 20,000 Mile
Overview Between the EFI and the carbureted 100
SMOOTH, 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).
Reliability, power and comfort...

SPECS
Primary Drive BBC Enclosed Wet Chain
Finish Polished Case
Final Drive BBC-PM Chain BrakeDrive System
Overview 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.
The final drive for our Athena
Series motorcycles is the unique BrakeDrive system.
With Performance Machine manufacturing the BrakeDrive
system for us, this BBC in-house designed component
combines both the brake and sprocket for the ultimate
clean look and function.

Overview The Athena frame starts out in the same
jig as the Sled, but has obivious design touches
with the Hot Rod holes drilled out of the outter
downtube sleeve and rear fender struts. This frame
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. 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. And our design patent
on this frame helps us keep the motorcycle unique
from manufactured copy cats. The patented Devil's
Tail swingarm is a new creation that finishes up
the bike with that custom one-off look.
The frame is the foundation
of the motorcycle's aesthetics and reliability.
All our frames are designed and manufactured in
house in our Big Bear Lake 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.

have what we call a 'smooth mount' design - you

type axle, making the finish smooth. With all our
calculations with the frame and frontend, we've
landed the front wheel in the sweet spot of the
final trail measurement. This allows for a motorcycle
with no frontend flop and high speed wobble.
And at the back, there's
no better American Made shock to use than the industry's
premier shock absorber, Progressive Suspension.
The chrome pair of oil dampened shocks produce a
good ride, which is just one more reason why our
motorcycles out handle and beat the comfort of the
other guys bikes.
