Flex Wheeler, world champion bodybuilder and, has teamed up with Coast 2
Coast Choppers of Orlando, Florida to design and build the “Flex Wheeler
Chopper” or FWC, a new series of custom motorcycles to bring the same
show-quality muscle to the bike world. Two styles of bike will be offered: the
Signature Series and the Pro Series. The Signature Series will be a high-end
custom bike with sleek hand-fabricated metal work. This bike will also offer
the best components on the market, such as: a Patrick Racing 128” billet motor,
Baker six-speed, Billet 4-U 4” chromed belt drive, a monster 330 rear tire and
much more. The Pro Series will be a more affordable model still using top-notch
components.
Flex’s lifetime passion for riding brought him to several bike shows at the
beginning of 2005 where he started exploring the idea of a custom bike that was
an affordable, top-of-the-line bike that aspires to be a show bike but rides
like a street bike. The idea generated a lot of interest among the bike
enthusiasts that Flex spoke to, from the hardcore bikers, to law enforcement
officers, to weekend warriors.
Flex considered several different cycle designers, both large and small, before
selecting Coast 2 Coast Choppers. When asked why Coast 2 Coast was his choice
for this venture, Flex replied “I met with a rep of Coast 2 Coast at a major
bodybuilding event in early 2005. I was very impressed with the sexy lines and
muscular stance of their bikes and also their level of professionalism. The
decision for me to team up with them was a no-brainer.”
Coast 2 Coast is a hungry young company that has won several shows and gained a
lot of respect in the industry over the last two years. The company motto is
“More for Less”. They saw Flex’s vision of the FWC as a quality custom bike that
is affordable to anyone from a cop to the high-end, but is very street worthy.
Jeremy Rogers, President of Coast 2 Coast Choppers, states “We are very excited
to be involved with such a huge superstar and look forward to a very bright
future with Flex.” Flex Wheeler’s worldwide notoriety brings a great growth
opportunity to this partnership and a chance to share his passion for
motorcycles with a global audience.
Both the FWC Signature Series and the Pro Series bikes will be unveiled for the
first time at the Road to the Pros booth at the 2006 Arnold Classic and Fitness
Weekend in Columbus, OH, March 3-5, 2006
