2008 Victory Kingpin

THE KINGPIN INSPIRES RIDERS WITH CONFIDENCE. IT DELIVERS CONTROL – AND COOL. IT HAS CLEAN LINES, FULLY VALANCED FENDERS, A DEEPLY CONTOURED SEAT AND POWERFUL 100 C.I. FREEDOM V-TWIN.

We created the Kingpin™ with stretched-out style and enough power to send shivers up your spine. Its inspired-engineering and well-thought out design gives way to superior comfort, power, and performance. The smooth, flowing lines, low saddle, and stretched out riding position add balance and stability, while large floorboards isolate vibration for increased comfort on the long rides. And, it is backed by the commanding strength of the Victory® Freedom® 100-cubic-inch V-Twin with a true 6-speed overdrive transmission.

FEATURES:

Rising rate linkage rear suspension - The suspension responds to inputs such as acceleration and uneven road surfaces to maintain a smooth ride and confidence inspiring handling.

Driver full floorboards - Features heel/toe shift lever, vibration isolating to minimize vibration transmitted to the driver - keeping the ride smooth and enjoyable.

Custom inspired headlight - The streamlined headlight housing complements the bike's smooth, flowing lines and evokes the notion of motion even when the bike is stationary.

Classic styled flared fenders - These distinctive fenders are the Kingpin's signature style points and enhance its smooth, flowing lines.

Inverted forks - Front suspension is engineered to deliver crisp, responsive and smooth handling, letting the rider enjoy a sporty ride from a full sized cruiser.

Closed loop fuel injection - The closed loop injection system provides constant feedback and measured amount of fuel and air for a smoother, more responsive ride.

Freedom 100 Cubic Inch V-Twin engine - Re-engineered for 2008, this next generation, smooth, efficient 100 cubic inch (1,634cc) engine produces 85 horsepower and 106 ft-lbs of torque.

Six Speed overdrive transmission - Re-engineered for 2008, it features a new quiet running, higher-ratio 6th gear, and lower ratio 1st gear improving drivability and acceleration.
