Review
The 2009 Big Bear Choppers Athena 114 X-Wedge takes the Athena platform and adds a significant dose of extra power. Its 1868cc (114 cubic inch) X-Wedge engine delivers a robust 153.2 Nm (113 ft-lbs) of torque, providing exhilarating acceleration and effortless highway cruising. The 6-speed gearbox helps manage the ample power on tap. The low 508mm (20-inch) seat height maintains the bike's classic chopper stance. At 317.5 kg (700 lbs), the Athena 114 X-Wedge demands respect and a skilled rider. A single front disc brake with a PM 4-piston caliper provides the necessary stopping power. The BBC Smooth Mount Hidden Axle front suspension contributes to the bike's clean lines. The fuel tank capacity is 13.72 liters (3.62 US gallons), smaller than other Athena models. This chopper is designed for riders who crave maximum power and a commanding presence. The Athena 114 X-Wedge is ideal for those who appreciate the raw, visceral experience of a high-performance custom motorcycle and are willing to trade some practicality for unmatched style and performance.
