BIG BEAR CHOPPERS GTX Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos
First production year: 2008
The GTX-F LTD X-Wedge from the BBC is a touring cruiser with a couple of features that set it apart from all other machines in its class, such as the passenger's saddle, which has been positioned in front of the rear wheel, which in turn increases its maneuverability and the comfort level for both the rider and the passenger. Other features such as the hard, spacious saddlebags, the fork-mounted fairing, the pillion backrest, the windscreen and the auxiliary fuel tank under the seat ensure this machine is more than capable of going the extra mile.
At its heart lies an 1917cc, BBC-S&S 117 SMOOTH EFI X-Wedge engine is paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and produces 97 horsepower and 153 Nm of torque at the crankshaft. What sets this engine apart from all other V-twins on the market is its S&S Closed-Loop Electronic Fuel Injection which makes it conform with EPA standards, without affecting the power output.
The Big Bear Choppers GTX-F LTD EFI is a limited edition touring machine from the American brand, and each model comes with its own custom limited chrome badge. The most striking feature on this machine is the position of its dual seat, with the passenger sitting in front of the rear wheel, thus placing more weight in the center of the chassis which leads to improved handling and comfort for both rider and pillion. In addition, unlike most cruisers, it comes with a fork-mounted fairing, for improved protection against the elements, as well as touring-enhancing features such as the full rider floorboards, lumbar support for the rider and a pillion backrest, spacious, hard saddlebags and a windscreen.
In the engine department, it comes with a 1819cc, BBC-S&S V111 EFI Evolution powerplant paired to a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and can produce 116 horsepower and 167 Nm of torque.
The 2008 GTX X-Wedge from Big Bear Choppers sports the latest in V-twins, a fuel-injected, 1917cc, BBC-S&S 117 SMOOTH EFI X-Wedge powerplant mated to a six-speed manual transmission that can produce 97 horsepower and 153 Nm of torque at the crankshaft. This new V-twin is one of the few engines out there that conform with the EPA standards of the time, and also have an asphalt-wrinkling power output.
As its EFI sibling, the X-Wedge GTX addresses riders who want to go the extra mile atop their custom machine, and comes standard with an auxiliary fuel tank under the seat, a two-up seat with passenger backrest and hard, spacious saddlebags, that do not interrupt the smoothly-flowing lines of this trademark Big Bear Choppers machine.
The 2008 Big Bear Choppers GTX EFI has been designed by Kevin Aslop for those riders who want to spend as much time as possible in the saddle, solo or two-up, and comes standard with spacious, hard saddlebags, an auxiliary fuel tank under the seat and a passenger backrest. In addition, it has pull back handlebars, to further increase rider comfort, and it has an unique dropped neck height, which adds a touch of aggressiveness to this machine.
At its heart lies a fuel-injected 1819cc, BBC-S&S V111 EFI Evolution powerhouse paired to a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and can produce 116 horsepower and 156 Nm of torque.
