2013 Victory Hard-Ball Features and Benefits

106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM® V-TWIN

The Victory® Freedom® 106/6 V-Twin delivers incredible power to ensure the Hard-Ball remains the leader of the pack. This counter-balanced, fuel-injected, air- and oil-cooled engine serves up 106 ft-lb of torque.

6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION

With its helical-cut gears, every shift of the Victory 6-speed transmission is smooth and easy. On the open road, overdrive makes every ride a smooth cruise.

APE-HANGER HANDLEBARS

Reach out for the blacked-out ape hanger handlebars and release your inner outlaw. Defiant, proud, edgy. Who wants conventional when fists-up riding on a Hard-Ball feels so good? These bars can also be set back in a lower, relaxed, pulled-back position if the mood suits you.

18” BLACK 60-SPOKE LACED WHEELS

This is the perfect wheel for the Hard-Ball: Black to match the bike’s stealthy style and laced with 60 spokes for a bold look. These wheels provide a smooth ride and deliver a bold look that will never be out of style.

Red Pinstriping

Perfectly complementing the black-on-black style of the Hard-Ball is understated red pinstriping on bodywork such as the fuel tank and saddlebag lids. The red accents deliver the ideal contrast on the bike’s powerful black sheet metal.

HARD BAGGER STORAGE

A Hard-Ball rider needs a place to carry road trip mementos. The hard saddlebags with their 21-gallon capacity are the perfect place for riding essentials. The lids have weatherproof seals to protect cargo and they’re lockable.

ABS BRAKES

In all conditions, the Victory Anti-Lock Brake System on the Hard-Ball provides riders with peace of mind. When traction is compromised, it immediately and automatically provides reliable braking to help a rider stop quickly and under control.
