Victory Motorcycles 2016 Lineup Details
Victory Motorcycles has released its lineup for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa), but we can expect the same changes to be available in America.
For 2016, Victory Motorcycles will be available in four categories – cruisers, baggers, tourers and electric with the new Victory Empluse. New colors are available across the cruiser, bagger and touring model lineup.
The manufacturer engineers “Modern American Performance” into every bike that rolls out of the factory at Spirit Lake in Iowa – a factory owned by Polaris Industries, who makes Victory Motorcycles.
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.”
Victory reports that the launch in EMEA of the new electric Victory Empulse TT will be subject to demand for the bike.
Following are the official highlights of the Victory Motorcycles for sale in EMEA:
2016 Victory Motorcycles Cruisers
The 2016 Cruiser line-up is the brand’s most aggressive iteration of American muscle yet.
The line-up consists of the Vegas 8-Ball (all-black) and Vegas, the Hammer 8-Ball and Hammer S performance cruisers and the Judge sport-cruiser. Let’s not forget the Gunner, which has been a huge sales success and finally, the High-Ball, which is in high demand for its bobber-style.
Three of the cruisers – the Judge, Hammer S and Gunner – have the footpegs placed mid-frame instead of forward, giving riders in EMEA a sportier riding position to what riders in the USA have.
The Gunner, High-Ball and Judge all have ABS as standard.
2016 Victory Vegas Specs:
The Vegas 8-Ball (all-black) and the Vegas have had the biggest changes this year. Each has an improved round headlight and color-matched frames. Victory has also upgraded the wheels for each model, fitting cast aluminum axe design ‘Falchion’ wheels. These are lighter and stronger. The painted frame adds a custom touch, but not a gram of weight. A new, sleeker headlight further slims the profile. The Vegas 8-Ball comes in Gloss Black and the Vegas is only on sale in Sunset Red.
