Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt primarily for long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sporty riding or commuting.
Rider FitRiders benefit from decent height and upper body strength to handle the substantial weight when walking the bike backward or navigating tight spaces, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
CharacterAppeals to riders who value big V-twin torque, cruiser styling, and premium comfort features like heated seats and grips over outright agility or performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight machine for city commuting.

2018 Victory Cross Country Tour 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 2018 Victory Cross Country Tour, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
