Following last week's new Indian models launch, Victory Motorcycles closed the gap and revealed its 2017 model year lineup coming with more standard features and cooler style.
Starting with the company’s brand new Octane, this will be available in Gloss Black ($9,999), Matte Super Steel Gray ($10,499), Matte Pearl White ($10,499), and Gloss Black with Graphics ($10,499).
The back-to-basics bike follows the classic American musclecar recipe - powerful motor and lightweight chassis. No fancy ABS is offered on the Octane, but there’s a new Stage 2 Kit that brings a performance air intake and 2-1 exhaust system to provide 10 percent more power and 5% more torque.
Inspired by the original bobbers built by returning WWII vets, the Victory Gunner is powered by a 106 cu-in Freedom V-Twin that cranks 110 lb-ft (150 Nm) of torque. The bike is available in Suede Titanium Metallic ($13,499) or Suede Sagebrush Green Metallic ($13,899).
The stripped-down speed demon Victory High-Ball impresses through two new colors for 2017 - Suede Black with black-wall tires ($13,499) or Suede Nuclear Sunset Orange nicely matched with white-wall tires ($13,749).
Moving to Victory’s most aggressive cruiser, the Hammer S only comes in Gloss Black with White Racing Stripes ($15,599) and comes with dual front disc brakes, burly inverted fork, extra-wide rear tire and a neat rear cowl with a hidden passenger pad.
The sleek Victory Vegas comes with a color-matched frame, contrast-cut 21-inch front rim, pullback handlebars, slash-cut mufflers, flush-mounted LED taillight and blacked-out decals. The model is only available in Sunset Red ($13,999) with a matching frame.
For all black-lovers, the Vegas 8-Ball is the same as the model above, but everything except the rims, fork and bolts is either gloss or matte black. This dark model is available at $12,999.
The Magnum muscle bagger is fitted with a 21-inch front rim, LED headlight, Bluetooth-enabled audio system with 6 speakers, ABS and can be had in three awesome colors - Gloss Black with graphics ($22,599), Habanero Inferno Orange with graphics ($23,099) and Indy Red Pearl with graphics ($23,099). Also, $24,499 can bring you the Magnum X-1 limited edition that has custom features like contrast-cut billet rims, special Pearl White with Platinum overlay and Electric Red pinstriping, as well as a 200-watt ten-speaker surround sound system.
More standard features can now be found on the Victory Cross Country, including ABS, cruise control, and Bluetooth-enabled audio system, while a Stage 2 Kit adds S&S cams, high-flow intake and performance exhaust system to boost the power by 20% and torque by 10%. The 2017 Cross Country is available in Gloss Black ($19,499), Suede White Frost ($19,999), Suede Nuclear Sunset Orange ($19,999) and Sunset Red ($19,999).
If you’re more like Swiss adventurer Urs “Grizzly” Pedraita and need a bike to go around the world, the 2017 Victory Cross Country Tour comes with 41.1 gallons of storage capacity, 200W audio system, ABS, LED lighting, air-adjustable rear suspension as well as Victory’s Comfort Control System that channels upper and lower wind to increase comfort. It is available in Gloss Black ($21,999), Gloss Blue Fire ($22,499) or Two-tone Turbo Silver and Black ($22,999).
The futuristic-styled Vision Tour comes with a powered windshield, ABS, cruise control as well as heated seat and grips. It is available in only two colors, namely Gloss Black ($21,099) and Gloss Blue Fire ($22,099).
Finally, the electric 2016 Empulse (yes, Victory strangely labeled the model as 2016) has a 10.4 kWh battery pack that recharges in 3,9 hours mated to an electric motor and even a six-speed automatic gearbox. It can be had in Titanium Silver with Havasu Red for $19,999.
