How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a big-twin American bagger for covering long interstate miles in comfort with ample luggage capacity.
- Built for
- A relaxed, torque-rich cruiser-tourer with a commanding presence, deep exhaust note, and effortless highway pull rather than outright sportiness.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Safety Recalls
⚠ 3 recalls may applySERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICOct 2017 · 17V647000
Polaris Industries, Inc. (Polaris) is recalling certain 2010-2017 Victory Cross Country, Cross Country Tour, Cross Roads, Magnum, and Hard Ball motorcycles. If the engine misfires, continued riding may result in heat from the catalytic converter melting the rear brake line and nearby wiring.
Risk: A melted rear brake line can reduce braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Polaris will notify owners, and dealers will re-route the brake line away from the exhaust catalyst, free of charge. The recall began on November 8, 2017. Owners may contact Polaris customer service at 1-877-737-7172. Polaris' number for this recall is V-17-02.

EQUIPMENTSep 2012 · 12V457000
Polaris is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Victory motorcycles manufactured from January 3, 2012, through August 15, 2012. A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.
Risk: If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012. Owners may contact Victory consumer service department by calling 1-888-704-5290.
These recalls cover some 2013 bikes of this model. Whether one applies to a specific bike, and whether the repair has already been done, depends on its VIN — check your VIN with NHTSA or ask a dealer.
