The Liberty City Cycles Hexer is a motorcycle in The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Episodes from Liberty City
The Hexer is a "modern classic" chopper-style motorcycle built by the company Liberty City Cycles, distinguished by its basic tube frame design and elaborate rake construction. The Hexer is based on a West Coast Choppers CFL with the choppers rake sharing elements from the Orange County Chopper's "My Pillow Chopper". It also resembles certain American IronHorse models.
The bike comes with two types of color schemes encompassing the frame, gas tank and rear fender, either featuring a one-tone body color, or a two-tone black-and-white stripped scheme.
The beta version of the Hexer files exists in the PC version of GTA IV. The beta Hexer has black flames, black engine, badges and different exhaust.
Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Hexer returns to GTA V and GTA Online using the almost exact same design from Episodes from Liberty City. However, it now features new colour-spawning patterns due to the game's improved car-color spawning system. The Hexer now has yellow spring shocks.
According to the service manual found in Beeker's Garage, the Hexer donor bike prior to customization by LCC is manufactured by Steel Horse.

Performance
Episodes from Liberty City
The Hexer's performance can be described as average, with good acceleration, average top speed, average braking and large turning radius, it makes up for its durability.
The Hexer is Johnny Klebitz's primary choice of transportation featured prominently in the game's trailer and screenshots, possessing superior handling and a unique white-and-blue color scheme (an inversion of a regular Hexer's black-and-white scheme and a reference to Johnny's Jewish heritage, as the Israeli flag features only white and blue). Stated during the introduction of the player's bike following Clean and Serene, Johnny's Hexer is a one-of-a-kind bike with a 2032cc twin cylinder (V-Twin) engine coupled to a 6-speed transmission with a chain final drive. However, for regular Hexers, they have a 5-speed gearbox.

The vehicle's durability is one attribute it possesses, despite the looks of fragility on its stripped-down bodywork. The handling is somewhat poor in comparison to other bikes, having a large turning radius but decent braking. As such, its overall performance can be comparable to the Lost version of the Daemon.

Trivia
General
- Police radio will mention Johnny's bike as blue, while it is white with blue decorations
- "Hexer" is the German term for "Sorcerer", which probably is the origin of the bike's name.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Hexer shares the same horn sound with the Freeway from GTA IV and has a male GPS voice, while in The Lost and Damned, it has a unique horn sound and a female GPS voice. In Grand Theft Auto V, it shares the same horn sound as the Bagger and the PCJ-600.
- In 2013, it is the favored bike of The Lost MC.
- The default radio stations for the Hexer are:
- TLAD: Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.

- GTA V: Channel X.
Episodes from Liberty City
- Unlike most vehicles in Grand Theft Auto IV, the Hexer does not commonly spawn when already driving one.
- Johnny's Hexer is actually blown up in Shifting Weight but is implied to be repaired by Clay Simons after.
- The Hexer is the first unique vehicle given to a playable character. While this feature was not followed up in TBoGT, it was reincorporated in Grand Theft Auto V since every protagonist has one or two unique, respawnable vehicles.
- There is an unused second handling line left over in TLAD, hinting that a civilian version was supposed to handle differently.
