Having unveiled the Ignition concept at last month’s EICMA show in Milan, Victory Motorcycles revealed another concept yesterday, called the Combustion concept at the ongoing New York International Motorcycle Show.
Powered by the brand’s Project 156 liquid-cooled 1200cc 60-degree V-Twin engine and chassis just like the Ignition concept, the Combustion was built by Zach Ness of Victory’s long time collaborators, Arlen Ness Motorcycles.
Looking quite close to being production-ready, the Combustion is said to have taken inspiration from muscle cars with a focus on high horsepower and low weight.
According to Victory, the Combustion uses the same rear suspension and swingarm as the Ignition, but the former’s fork is less beefy and not inverted like the previous concept’s front suspension.
Custom features included knurled grips, Wright spoke wheels with billet hubs and rims, custom-painted Brembo radial calipers and beveled brake rotors.
Gary Gray, Victory’s product director said, “This new engine offers the most versatility in American motorcycling. Both of the concepts – Ignition and Combustion, are intended to show what this motor is capable of in very distinct, visual forms. While the bikes are different, the powertrain is capable of delivering the performance in both cases.”
Victory says that the Combustion is its final 1200cc concept, following the Ignition and the Project 156 bike that raced at Pikes Peak.
Victory Motorcycles has announced its 2016 product range. According to the company, there will not be any new model, but only existing models with subtle design updates and new colours.
The biggest highlights of the 2016 Victory Motorcycles lineup are the Vegas 8-Ball and the Vegas, where each model will feature an improved round headlight and colour-matched frames. Victory has also upgraded the wheels for each model, with lighter and stronger cast aluminium ‘Falchion’ rims. 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.
2016 Victory Vegas 8 Ball
As for the Gunner, things remain pretty much the same, except the addition of two new colours – Suede Titanium Metallic and Suede Sagebrush Green Metallic.
The Judge on the other hand, will also come in a new colour next year– Sunset Red with Black Rally Stripes.
2016 Victory Magnum
And then, there is the Magnum, which has had the biggest makeover in the range with new paint-schemes that have stripes running from the fairing to the tail.
The Magnum will come in three colour options with two of these completely new for 2016. The two new schemes are Black Crystal over Havasu Red and Suede Pearl White with Black. The third colour is Black Crystal over Super Steel Grey.
2016 Victory Cross County Tour
The Cross County Tour, which carries a whopping 156 litres of gear atop a versatile cast-aluminium chassis, also gets two new colours for 2016 – Gloss Black or Gloss Pearl White over Super Steel Grey. The highlight about this bike is that it can be ridden two-up with fully loaded bags, and also be stripped down for a solo ride by removing the quick-detach rear trunk.
2016 Victory Vision
Last but not the least, the Vision’s modern design broke the mould for American touring models immediately on its release. The bold and flowing design wraps the rider in unparalleled comfort.
The aerodynamic bodywork and frame-mounted fairing featuring a power windshield gives the rider a smooth pocket no matter what speed they ride. And the cast aluminium chassis carves through corners and smoothens out highways no matter how long the trip. This year the Vision is available in Gloss Black.
Are cheaper bikes really inferior to the more expensive ones? Many may think so, but this classic looking chopper is priced at just below RM20,000. Wasn’t expecting that were you? (more…)
