2013 Big Bear Choppers Athena Chopper EFI X-Wedge[edit | edit source]
The Big Bear Choppers Athena Chopper EFI X-Wedge is one of the boldest and most aggressive designs from the American brand. It is sure to turn heads no matter where one decides to ride it, thanks to the industrial hot rod drilled holes in the stretched frame, the Devil's Tail swingarm, or the fender that perfectly matches the patented swingarm.
This model, unlike its siblings, comes with a larger displacement. At its heart lies a 1917cc, BBC-S&S 117 SMOOTH EFI X-Wedge paired to a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive, and can produce 97 horsepower and 153 Nm of torque at the crankshaft. This engine is addressed to air-cooled V-twin fans, but still conform to 2010 EPA standards.
