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 (humidity, temperature, elevation, etc.). So, once you take that bike up the mountain, or get a day that’s significantly hotter than the day it was tuned, that EFI engine will easily outperform the carbureted engine.

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 112 lbs. of torque at the crank. 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.

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.

One of the proprietary and patented characteristics of this bike is the position of the passenger sitting in front of the rear wheel. This seating position places more weight in the center of the vehicle to produce better handling and comfort for both the operator and passenger. Other key features include an additional auxiliary fuel tank located under the seat, totaling 5 gallons. A large capacity oil tank feeds the optional new efficient and powerful EFI X-Wedge engine from S&S. The large volume fiberglass storage bags are purposefully designed with the motorcycle, making the bags a central aspect of the overall vehicle design. Its innovative downtube dimensionally molded cover not only completes the motorcycle’s front lines, but it also acts to hide the less desirable clutch cable.

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 G.T.X.’s wow factor comes from the seamless, flowing bodywork from end to end, stepping outside the traditional realms of motorcycle design and into the next generation of motorcycle design.

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.
