Victory Octane Gets Set To Bring It

You’ve gotta love a good teaser video – or three! American manufacturer Victory’s latest weapon in the fight against foreign motorcycles is the new Octane, the first machine to use the engine made famous by Cycle World’s Don Canet at Pikes Peak last year.
The project 156 motor will be used as the base platform for a number of new creations from Victory, and was first seen in a production concept bike at EICMA last year in Milan. That machine, designed by world renowned Swiss custom builder Ers Erbacher and dubbed the Ignition, was further proof of Victory’s intent to see a second U.S. player in the production power cruiser segment that’s been making the news with the arrival of the new Ducati XDiavel.
The date has been set for February 19 for the unveil of the new Octane, and if it’s anything like Erbacher’s Ignition, it’s going to be a weapon!
