Two all new models from Victory Motorcycles
The two models - the Victory Cross Roads and Victory Cross Country - are bikes that blend true thoroughbred performance, all day comfort and superb luggage carrying ability with Victory's unique, unequivocal sense of style.
Spearheading the assault of Victory Motorcycle's stunning new range of models, the pair are both powered by the American marque's 1731cc 'Freedom' V-twin engine. Offering a thumping 92hp, this powerplant also delivers a whopping 109ftlb of torque - most of it available from as low as 2500rpm - and it feeds the grunt down to the ground via a six-speed true over- drive gearbox.
The V-twin touring world just turned nasty, with the arrival of the 2010 Victory Cross Country. This sinister road going battleship features a sleek, batwing style front fairing and low screen, while at the rear a pair of colour coded and integrated hard panniers offer a voluminous 80 litres of storage space.
Blending contemporary lines with a healthy dose of traditional bagger style, the Cross Country also features a stepped 'king and queen' style saddle, extra long floorboards for both rider and pillion and a thoroughly evil 'silver skull on black' paint scheme that simply oozes bad attitude. And with an AM/FM twin-speaker stereo (with MP3 jack) plus electronic cruise control, you can rest assured this bike's got the creature comforts covered.
The rear monoshock and inverted front fork deliver 4.7in of suspension travel to smooth the road ahead, while a powerful braking package - featuring braided steel lines and a twin disc front end - allow you to haul the Cross Country down from speed with ease.
For those who like a slightly more traditional flavour when racking up their highway miles, Victory's 2010 Cross Roads delivers 21st century performance with timeless elegance and style. Also boasting the 106-cubic-inch 'Freedom' V-twin and class leading integrated pannier system, the Cross Roads features a broad Lexan windshield and a traditional bent tube highway bar. Contemporary bullet style indicators, a lustrous solid maroon paint scheme and acres of dazzling chrome complete the picture, while alloy wheels complement the bare beauty of that stunning V-twin powerplant. On a Victory Cross Roads, or a Victory Cross Country, the destination's irrelevant; the ride is everything.
The models will both be available in early 2010.
