Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung V-twin cruiser at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed long-distance highway touring with strong torque for effortless overtaking rather than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper-body strength when maneuvering off the throttle.
CharacterA bold, customized American V-twin cruiser with distinctive Cory Ness styling that rewards riders who value presence, comfort, and torque-rich cruising over sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight city streets, aggressive cornering, or any form of off-road riding.

2011 Victory Cory Ness Cross Country Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 667mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Victory Cory Ness Cross Country, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
