2016 Victory Cross Country 8-Ball Review

2016 Victory Cross Country 8-Ball on www.Totalmotorcycle.com

Painted black. Primed to perform…

The 2016 line-up has been fine-tuned with design updates and new colours across its cruiser, bagger and touring models.

Victory Motorcycles is now putting its focus on performance while its class-leading motorcycles already carry a reputation for reliability and handling.

The manufacturer engineers ‘Modern American Performance’ into every bike that rolls out of the factory at Spirit Lake in Iowa.

Dario Baraggia, Motorcycle Brand Manager EMEA says: “Victory Motorcycles builds bikes that crave the open road, can blast through city streets or rip off from the green light. But it also builds bikes to win NHRA races, to break land speed records, race at the Isle of Man TT and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. We have also built a bike for ‘Grizzly’ and his endurance team to circumnavigate the world in less than 100 days in 2016. And Victory’s stunt team, well, there’s no predicting what they’ll do next. And, last but not least, Victory has started the production of the first electric bike in its seventeen-year history, the Victory Empulse TT. Victory Motorcycles is now without question, all about ‘Modern American Performance.”

For 2016, Victory Motorcycle’s line-up of bikes is split into four categories. These are Cruisers, Baggers, Touring and Electric. However, the firm says that the launch in EMEA of the new electric Victory Empulse TT will be subject to demand for the bike.
