Created For Snow Traction, The Monster Chopper Combines Giant Backhoe Wheels, Powerful Engine, And Hydraulic Steering In A Unique Engineering
The Monster Chopper integrates a select group of motorcycles that impress with their size and boldness. It’s not for road or track performance, nor for its striking appearance. The highlight comes from the giant wheels, which give the model a unique and imposing character.
Created by Grind Hard Plumbing Co., the bike was designed for snow traction. The 46-inch tires, equivalent to 1.17 meters in height, already deliver the scale of the project.
To move this mammoth on wheels, the group — known on YouTube for creating unusual vehicles — installed a KTM engine. And, to make control possible, they resorted to hydraulic steering.

A 21-year-old woman was carried in the arms to the platform and launched from about 40 meters in a bungee jump in Limeira while a rope appeared coiled on the ground behind the group; witnesses were shouting something that no one around managed to stop in time.

Each main referee of the 2026 World Cup can pocket around R$ 510,000 for less than two matches on average; the estimated amount by the press seems high until someone remembers that a single mistake on the field can mark an entire career.

Meta has launched the paid subscriptions Instagram Plus and WhatsApp Plus, which offer extra features for customization, privacy, and organization, while the traditional versions of both apps remain free for all users.

More than 10 million people in the Northeast still have slow internet, but the government has released R$ 73.8 million from Fust to lay 1,200 km of high-speed fiber connecting Recife to Fortaleza, which could change this scenario.
Engineering On A Large Scale
The Monster Chopper is not the first bold project from Grind Hard Plumbing Co. On their social media, you can find everything from a goalie car with a Yamaha R1 engine to sports bikes transformed into snow motorcycles.
The new creation, however, stands out for combining backhoe wheels with a high-performance engine.
The chosen one was the powertrain from a KTM 1290 Super Adventure, with 160 hp at 6,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 140 Nm.
The sound of the engine combines with the metallic noise of the tire pins, creating a unique experience.
The hand-built frame, without fairings, required many hours of work and autogenous welding. In the end, the bike can be described as a robust chassis mounted on colossal tires.
Challenge To Maneuver
The most important thing is that, besides brute strength, the Monster Chopper needed control. For that, Grind Hard Plumbing Co. adapted a hydraulic steering system similar to the one used in the Bimota Tesi.
The mechanism central to the front wheel hub, although simpler, guarantees efficient operation.
The suspension received parts from the frame of a Honda CBR900RR, reinforcing the mixture of components from different models to achieve the desired result.
However, riding the bike is not a simple task. As shown in the released video, the rider keeps their feet close to the ground to balance the weight and height of the machine.
According to the creators, adjustments will still be made to improve drivability and allow for longer distances than the few meters recorded in the footage.
Thus, the Monster Chopper establishes itself as another example of the bold and creative work of the group, which continues to explore the limits of engineering on two wheels.
