The most powerful Victory

Victory, as promised, has introduced the most powerful model in the line of cruisers called Octane. Despite expectations, the bike is practically no different from the previously presented Combustion. At Victory, the novelty is called the modern muscle bike.

Victory has set a release date for Octane

The new bike, called the Octane, will feature a 1,200cc liquid-cooled powerplant based on the Indian Scout engine. According to the bold statements of the brand representatives, we are waiting for a motorcycle from the Ducati Diavel league.

At the New York International Motorcycle Show, Victory unveiled a cruiser powered by the acclaimed Project 156. Like the Ignition concept shown in Milan, the bike is driven by a 60-degree 1200cc V-twin, with a belt-driven final drive.

The motorcycle is equipped with a liquid-cooled V-twin, powered by two 67-mm “chokes”, which are supplied with air through an air intake located in a false tank. The fuel tank is located under the engine.
