Victory had started the festivities for the new year "2015" very early … From February in fact, the manufacturer of Spirit Lake presented a new Bobber-type model: the Gunner (read).

Six months later, it is the turn of a Bagger to make its appearance in the ranks of the young American brand – created in 1998 by the Polaris group -: a "Custom Bagger" more precisely, entirely homemade and called Magnum.

According to Victory, this is the Bagger "the most extreme ever offered by a manufacturer !", no offense to Harley-Davidson and its gleaming CVOs … However, it is clear that this new bike is not content with having a name" that slams " !

Derived from the already extraordinary Cross Country, the Magnum imposes first of all with its four colorful or even tangy dresses (Plasma Lime!) As well as its all-chrome finish which contrasts with the soberness of the original model..

The smallest part is matched to the colors of the tank: from the hinges of the saddlebags (80 liters of cargo) to the dashboard, through the headlight trims (LED) and the radiator covers … of the Freedom 106 oil ci (cubic inch, i.e. 1731 cc) which already equips the entire Victory range.

The new Bagger is visually and mechanically distinguished from the Cross Country by its 21-inch front wheel, "the largest ever offered by a manufacturer", outbid the Americans. The mudguard was obviously modified accordingly. It seems that otherwise, it stuck.

Yet three inches taller than the standard model, "this cast wheel offers a remarkable smooth ride, easy handling, and custom styling that no stock Bagger can match", ensures the official website of the brand.

Completely invisible because integrated into the famous "Cobra-Hood" fairing, the audio system broadcasts music through its eight integrated speakers. With an estimated power of 100 W, this is the system "the most powerful ever mounted on an original Victory", claims the builder.

Victory also boasts the lowest saddle in its class: 668 millimeters, exactly like the Cross Country, with which it shares the rest of the features and equipment, including cruise control and ABS, which are standard in France..

Expected for "the end of 2014"on the old continent, the Magnum is displayed on the American site"from US $ 21,999". By taking into account the prices of the Cross Counrty on each side of the Atlantic and by applying a silly rule of three, we can therefore estimate the price of this 2015 novelty at € 24,490. The site is investigating the officials. brand to confirm this price. !
