Victory Motorcycles: 2012 Victory Cross Country®

Written by Justin Ogg
2012 Victory Cross Country
THE BAGGER THAT TAKES ON THE ROAD AND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY. Finally, a tough bagger with power and handling to its core. Features like cruise control and standard ABS brakes give you the control to cruise any road you want, while 21-gallon storage and 18-inch-long floorboards give you the ability to ride it for as long as you want. Throw your stuff in and go, because with this bold road warrior you'll pass everything that slows you down. Including the competition.



106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM V-TWIN 
106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM V-TWIN
At the heart of the Cross Country sits the Freedom V-Twin power plant, expertly balanced for the perfectly controlled explosion that delivers 109 ft lbs of hole shot torque. Maestro of the motorcycle world, it’s what keeps man, machine and highway working together in perfect harmony.



6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION 
6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
The highest performing transmission on the road receives the power generated by the massive V-twin and seamlessly turns it into something you can use. Neutral Selection Assist and helical-cut gears ensure every shift is as quiet and smooth as the one before it.




ABS BRAKES 
ABS BRAKES
Standard on the Cross Country, 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.




CRUISE CONTROL 
CRUISE CONTROL
After making every other aspect of going the distance as effortless as possible, the throttle hand still had a beef about being overworked. By adding precise, automotive-style cruise control, the right mitt can now simply hang on and enjoy the ride.




560 LB TOTAL LOAD CAPACITY 
560 LB TOTAL LOAD CAPACITY
Ideal for both 2-up or solo riding, the Cross Country weighs in as the packhorse of the touring line. But don’t be fooled by its 560 lb load capacity. A rigid reinforced frame, adjustable rear air suspension and 96 hp V-Twin allow it to prance as lightly as any sure-footed thoroughbred.




21-GALLON STORAGE

Saddlebags constructed of sturdy glass-filled nylon offer plenty of room to include the stuff that long hauls are made of. Lockable latches make sure that stuff stays on the bike you while you’re off having lunch.




4.7 INCHES OF REAR SUSPENSION TRAVEL

Just in case the open road gets too lonely, the class-leading rear suspension features an easily adjusted air shock and coil spring, ensuring a smooth ride for you and any adventure seeking passenger.




OPTIONAL LOCK & RIDE TRUNK 
OPTIONAL LOCK & RIDE TRUNK
If you can’t stand leaving all your worldly possessions behind, the optional roomy, protective trunk installs in seconds without the need for tools. The trunk also doubles as a comfortable backrest for your significant other.




MP3 COMPATIBLE AM/FM TWO-SPEAKER STEREO 
MP3 COMPATIBLE AM/FM TWO-SPEAKER STEREO
There are times when the Freedom V-Twin’s dulcet toned pipes prefer not playing solo. With a high-quality mp3 player/radio embedded in the fairing, you can have your own rolling roadhouse hoedown. It’s just one more way to let freedom ring.
