Klipsch, the number one speaker brand in the United States, will be bringing their recently commissioned, customised, speaker-inspired Chopper bike, which was unveiled at CES earlier this year.  This rumbling machine will be on show to demonstrate how Klipsch’s highly acclaimed and stunningly precise sound has been transferred into high-performance, high-quality audio crating a truly unique ride to an everyday bike. 

 

Orange County Choppers Builds Klipsch® Theme Bike

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS (December 20, 2007) — In October, Klipsch—the number one speaker brand in the United States—commissioned Orange County Choppers™ (OCC)—the country’s best-known custom bike builder—to fabricate a speaker-inspired chopper that reflects the company’s rebellious spirit and no-compromise audio legacy.

 

 

 

 

Klipsch and the famous Teutul ‘American Chopper’ family will unveil the rumbling, muscular machine at a private Klipsch-hosted Robert Cray concert at the Body English nightclub inside the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). TLC will then air the American Chopper Klipsch® bike build episode on March 13, 2008, at 9 p.m. ET. 

 

Like every OCC chopper, the Klipsch bike is unique. It reflects the 61-year-old company’s true personality by featuring its signature black and copper color scheme, horn and woofer adornments, detailed Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) tributes, as well as Klipsch logos on the air filter and black leather seat.

 

 

For those who are unaware, proprietary horn-loaded technology has—and will always be—the driving force behind Klipsch’s highly acclaimed and stunningly precise sound. In fact, Paul W. Klipsch founded the company in 1946 on the promise of a corner horn-loaded speaker design.

“We customize theme bikes for lots of different companies, but this one is second to none,” said Paul Teutul, Sr. “It really incorporates Klipsch’s standards of high-performance, high-quality audio into a truly unique ride.”

The partnership between Klipsch and OCC does not stop with this amazing bike. Orange County Choppers is currently building a new 92,000-square-foot headquarter facility in Newburgh, N.Y. and has chosen Klipsch as its preferred audio provider. From the retail area to the shop floor and from the gym to Paul Sr.’s new office, more than 100 Klipsch speakers will bring dynamic sound to the entire building.

 

“The Klipsch name has always stood for high-performance audio,” said Paul Sr. “Whether it’s their headphones, home theater products or commercial designs, everything I’ve heard from Klipsch sounds fantastic. It was a no-brainer to have them outfit our new headquarters.”

 

According to Mike Klipsch, president of Klipsch, the partnership makes perfect sense because both companies know how to enrich the lives of their customers. “It’s not about buying a chopper or a speaker, it’s about passion, performance and embracing a treasured lifestyle,” he said. “When it comes to building our respective products, no detail is overlooked and each design is meant to enhance the owner’s experience.”
