2013 VICTORY CROSS COUNTRY TOURIt's Here and ready for you to ride home today!
 For the riders who churn out the miles on week-long trips all over the nation, this is the new long distance touring bike that others will be chasing for years. Pack everything you need, take to the road, and relax for days Within the 2013 Victory Cross Country Tour is the Victory® Freedom® 106/6 V-Twin complete with a 106-cu. in. powerplant that pumps out 106 ft-lb of arm-straightening, street-churning torque. It's a counter-balanced, fuel-injected engine that delivers impressive performance for riders who like to lead, not follow. A Cross Country Tour rider enjoys smooth shifting and the best cruising on the open road in 6th gear, which is a true overdrive. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift is smooth and easy, and neutral assist makes it easy to slip into neutral at stops. Standard on the Cross Country Tour, the Victory Anti-Lock Brake System doesn't discriminate between dry, wet or rock-strewn pavement. No matter what the conditions, ABS monitors what the wheel is doing and gives you consistent, smooth braking from the handlebar lever down to the rubber on the road. Enjoy season-extending comfort with the Victory Comfort Control System, which provides a rider with Upper Air Controls and Lower Air Controls to manage the airflow from the front end. In cold or wet conditions, close the controls to completely block the elements. In warm weather, open them up to enjoy cooling airflow. Out on the open road, go ahead and activate the cruise control for an easy, relaxed ride. This automotive-qualify cruise control is easy to activate and set, and it reliably maintains the desired speed. To de-activate it, simply press "Off" or engage the clutch lever or either brake. The open road can get a little rough, so it's great to have the 4.7" of smooth travel provided by the Cross Country Tour rear suspension. The air shock is easily adjusted using a hand pump so the suspension delivers a consistently smooth ride for one or two riders, with or without cargo on board. The Cross Country Tour has the most storage space of any motorcycle in the world. Its trunk, saddlebags and two front storage compartments offer a total of 41.1 gallons of storage space. With a Cross Country Tour, you can take it with you - there's plenty of room. The Cross Country Tour saddlebags set the standard for storage space, cargo protection and security. These bags offer a total of 21.3 gallons of storage space, and the lockable lids have weatherproof seals to protect gear stowed inside. Rails that extend beyond the base of the saddlebags complement the bike's style and provide outstanding low-speed tip-over protection. Extend the riding season with the heated handgrips and heated seats. The driver has Hi & Lo settings on the hand controls to ward off the chill, and the seats provide the driver and passenger with individual Hi/Lo controls. Complementing the excellent weather protection of the Victory Comfort Control System is the tall windshield. It provides outstanding protection and ensures a rider will have reliable visibility in all conditions. 26.25" SEAT HEIGHT The 26.25" Cross Country Tour seat height puts a rider in a comfortable position of confidence and control. The low seat height helps a rider flat-foot the pavement when stopped to maintain full control of the bike. Rule of the road: the lower the seat height, the more control. The Cross Country Tour has the lowest seat in its class. Unless you admit having the toe strength of a ballerina, you want to be able to plant both feet firmly on the ground. It's a rule of the road: When the passenger's not happy, nobody's happy. The Cross Country Tour enhances the passenger's ride with adjustable floorboards. These floorboards can be set in any of three positions over a 2" height range, and can be tipped at a 10° angle for optimal comfort. Charge! Keep electronic accessories running strong using the 12v power outlet. It lets riders charge items such as phones or batteries and can power items such as heated apparel, GPS units and more. If you are ready to set out on the open road the Cross Country Tour is just the bike for you!
Come on in and take a look for yourself!

Victory Unveils Several 2013 Baggers Early, Including Three Cross Country Models & the Victory Hard-Ball
Victory is providing early introductions of four 2013 Baggers: three Cross Country models and the Hard-Ball.
Dynamic styling. Triple-digit torque output. Roomy, weatherproof saddlebags. And Victory attitude.
You get all of that from the 2013 Victory Bagger models - the powerful, versatile bikes for riders who take their own path rather than following the pack. Whether a rider is heading across town or on the open road, a Victory Bagger like the 2013 Cross Country or the take-no-prisoners Hard-Ball is a great choice.
Victory is providing early introductions of four 2013 Baggers: three Cross Country models and the Hard-Ball. Additional 2013 Baggers will be introduced with the complete 2013 Victory lineup on July 30. Plus, information is available now about these additional early release models The early release 2013 Cross Country models have a custom styled fairing with premium integrated audio, and large, lockable hard saddlebags. The bike's long, flowing lines give it distinctive, ground-breaking looks only Victory could deliver. The comfortable ergonomics and powerful engine stoke the "let's ride" attitude.
Colors of the early release 2013 Cross Country models are:
* Antifreeze Green - A custom-look model with black flames and chrome trim - including the stylish forged highway bars.
* Solid Black - with tubular highway bars for easy customization
* Sunset Red with blacked-out trim, black tubular highway bars and black drivetrain cases.
The 2013 Hard-Ball retains the bad-ass styling that appeals to the outlaw in every rider. No frills, no extra shine. Just bad to the bone Suede Black paint, red pinstripes, blacked-out components from end to end, 18" black laced wheels and ape hangers. The large bags - ideal for holding essential riding gear - make this bike the bad ass with bags. (Consult local traffic codes regarding the use of ape hanger handlebars.)
The Victory EDGE: What Makes These Baggers Superior
All Victory Baggers deliver an outstanding ride and smooth easy HANDLING. Each model has a two-piece cast aluminum frame that essentially creates a spine running the length of the bike. The engine is solid-mounted to the underside of the frame as a stressed member of the chassis. This strong, solid chassis provides consistently true and predictable handling in the corners. A Cross Country or Hard-Ball rider can head into a corner at speed - even riding 2-up with cargo in the bags - and the bike will track through the turn on a line. There's no frame flex, no waver, wobble or walk. Just smooth, easy handling from a full-sized Bagger.
Plus, since the frame is above the engine, there's no structure beneath the engine, resulting in exceptional cornering clearance. Lean, lean, and lean some more into corners. These Baggers have sporty, responsive handling that only Victory can deliver.
Providing impressive POWER is the Victory Freedom® 106/6 drivetrain - a 106-ci V-Twin and 6-speed transmission with overdrive. The engine pumps out 106 ft-lb of torque in Victory Baggers, which puts a rider in full control with great confidence in any traffic situation. There's always power on tap to make a pass as needed.
A bike with an engine this powerful needs effective braking, and every Victory Bagger has premium ABS - Anti-lock Braking System. Cruise control is also standard on all Baggers.
COMFORT features on every Victory Bagger include a plush 2-up touring seat and long driver floorboards so a driver can reposition feet and legs to stay comfortable during long days in the saddle. The Cross Country has a fairing that provides wind and weather protection and has an integrated audio system. AM/FM radio is standard, and accessory connections are available so a rider can pump tunes from an iPod®/MP3 player through the premium audio system.
The Hard-Ball has contempt for practical, protective fairings and windshields. Don't tell the bike they're available as accessories.
The Cross Country and Hard-Ball have large, hard saddlebags with 21 gallons of total STORAGE. They'll hold all the new Victory apparel a rider needs around town or on an overnight run. The bags have lockable lids with weatherproof seals, and the lids can easily be opened or closed with a single gloved hand.
Like all Victory models, these Baggers provide outstanding RELIABILITY to minimize the cost of ownership. Instead of spending big bucks on oil changes or frequent maintenance, a Bagger rider can spend the bike budget on accessories, apparel and travel. The engine and transmission share 5 quarts of oil, so oil changes are simple: Drain, add a new filter, refill with oil and ride. There are no additional oil reservoirs to tend to. Plus, the recommended oil change interval is every 5,000 miles, which is a lot of riding between oil changes.
Stay tuned for the introduction of the complete 2013 Victory lineup on July 30, 2012.

The Victory EDGE: What Makes These Touring Bikes Superior
All Victory Touring models deliver an outstanding ride and smooth easy HANDLING. Each model has a two-piece cast aluminum frame that essentially creates a spine running the length of the bike. The engine is solid-mounted to the underside of the frame as a stressed member of the chassis. This strong, solid chassis provides consistently true and predictable handling in the corners. A Victory Touring rider can head into a corner at speed - even riding 2-up with cargo in the bags - and the bike will track through the turn on a line. There's no frame flex, no waver, wobble or walk. Just smooth, easy handling.
Plus, with the frame's location, there's no structure beneath the engine, resulting in exceptional cornering clearance. A rider can lean deep into corners on these Touring models with their sporty, responsive handling.
Providing impressive POWER for both Touring models is the Victory Freedom® 106/6 drivetrain - a 106-ci V-Twin and 6-speed transmission with overdrive. In the Victory Vision this engine produces 108 ft-lb of torque, and it delivers 106 ft-lb of torque in the Cross Country Tour. This powerful, responsive engine puts a rider in complete control and provides confidence-inspiring performance for every traffic situation. There's always power on tap to pass as needed.
Both models also have premium ABS (anti-lock braking), and cruise control.
COMFORT features on the Victory Touring models include the plush, heated, 2-up touring seats and long driver floorboards so a driver can reposition feet and legs to stay comfortable all day. Each model also has extensive front end wind and weather protection - which is adjustable on the Cross Country Tour - and an integrated audio system. AM/FM radio is standard, and riders can use an iPod®/MP3 player as their music source. An iPod cord is standard on the Cross Country Tour and available as an accessory for the Victory Vision.
As noted, the Cross Country Tour has the most STORAGE of any motorcycle in the world, and the spacious trunks on both Touring models include rear audio speakers and a plush passenger backrest.
Like all Victory models, these Touring models deliver outstanding RELIABILITY to minimize the cost of ownership. Instead of spending big bucks on oil changes or frequent maintenance, a Touring rider can direct the bike budget toward accessories and travel.
