After another year of hard work though Vettel must be craving for a break and there is one thing that we know he loves besides fast cars that helps him relax. Motorcycles. And the F1 World Champion owns one of the best looking custom choppers from the best custom motorcycle builder from Germany - Walz Hardcore Cycles.
Walz Hardcore Cycles, run by Marcus Walz, is based in Hockenheim, Germany and is well known its Drag style, flat and wide motorcycles. A style that was developed by Marcus Walz (Extreme right).
Besides Sebastian Vettel Walz boasts of other high profile customers including another F1 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen.
Sebastian Vettel custom Walz Hardcore Cycles is based on another bike built by the builder called Avalanche.
Among the custom design features include Red Bull Racing livery, the Red Bull bull logo pinstriped on the tank, ‘Vettel' badges on each of the wheel spokes among others. The bike features the same blue paint as Vettel's Red Bull F1 car.
The rear tyre is a massive 280mm ME880 XXL unit, which is the same on all Walz Hardcore Cycles builds.
Another trademark Walz design feature is the ultra low seat height that's just 470mm above ground level.
The bike was a present by Vettel to himself on becoming the F1 World Champion the first time in 2010. The bike was handed over to him in Bad Salzuflen in 2011 in time for the Italian Grand Prix.
We'll conclude with a fun fact. The youngest ever F1 World Champion is also the youngest ever customer Walz Hardcore Cycles has ever had.
