Starting with a clean sheet of paper, the S&S Product Development team went to work building an engine that will conform to 2010 EPA standards and still deliver the power you expect from a v-twin. The BBC exclusive and proprietary 114ci is delivering just shy of 100 horsepower and 113ft/lbs of torque at the crank. This brand-new engine features three belt driven cams for quieter operation, a 56-degree v-angle for smoother running and no notched pistons, a crossflow head that is fit with direct injectors, side-by-side rods and a solid, one-piece crank. The new X-Wedge is technically advanced and the key to keeping you riding air-cooled, pushrod v-twins as the emissions laws tighten up forcing water-cooling on some other engines.

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 the engine while looking good behind it.

Keeping with the mindset of making form and function coexisting, this 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 manufacturer’s 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.

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 the motorcycle unique from manufactured copy cats. The motorcycle’s exclusive swingarm design comes with an inventive stylistic cover, hiding the tubular frame structure, axle adjusters and brake line, and thus completing the super clean lines of the Paradox.

The frame is the foundation of the motorcycle's aesthetics and reliability. All BBC frames are designed and manufactured in house in the 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. BBC makes a statement about their manufacturing confidence with a lifetime warranty on all frames.

The Paradox holds an innovative dimensionally molded downtube cover that not only completes the motorcycle’s front aesthetic lines, but it also acts to hide the less desirable clutch cable. The oil tank is the signature large capacity unit but with unique concave molding design work. Both front and rear fenders feature a subtle and elegant ridge that fades away at the halfway point.

Like BBC frames, the tanks and fenders are designed and manufactured in-house. BBC produces the sheetmetal with the frame as a unit, then gets 'mock-up' before they hand it over to the painters. BBC uses heavy duty 12 gauge steel for the fenders and 14 gauge steel for the tanks. All tanks are pressure tested and the fenders are computer cut. They guarantee and warranty any leaks from the tanks and cracks in the fenders for your lifetime.

Designed and manufactured in-house, BBC's chrome frontend is exclusively made for their motorcycles to be aesthetically cool and functionally bomb proof. The BBC logo branded 6° triple trees have what they call a 'smooth mount' design - meaning you don't see the tube and axle nuts. And what they mean with the 'hidden axle' - it's a nutless type axle, making the finish smooth. With all their calculations with the frame and frontend, they'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 BBC motorcycles out handle and beat the comfort of the competitors offerings.

Stronger than the traditional billet aluminum material, these wheels are forged to a high standard. Stopping our wheels are 4-piston caliper polished brakes.

This is where a lot of manufacturers cut corners to cut costs. Well, BBC doesn't. In fact, they march though every corner of the motorcycle's manufacturing, assembly and component selection without a doubt that we are providing to you the best possible bike for your money.

BBC has a very wide range of paint colors and graphic designs to minimize witnessing the same paint job on two bikes at the same time. Using the world’s premier brand of paint - House of Color®, every bike is craftily hand painted by our artists with their God-given talent. Combine this creative paintwork with the unique design of the motorcycle and its high-end components - these Big Bear machines may brag the assumption to people that she’s a one-off custom, but even better - the comfort and reliability of a well engineered motorcycle.
