Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruiser-tourers, as its 340kg dry weight demands confident low-speed control.
PurposeBuilt as a bagger-style power cruiser for open-road touring and highway cruising rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Rider FitThe low 667mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, but the substantial weight means stronger riders will find it easier to maneuver at parking speeds.
CharacterA big V-twin torque cruiser with relaxed power delivery, a deep exhaust note, and a laid-back, stable ride character rather than outright speed or sharpness.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking nimble city agility, off-road capability, or track-level cornering performance.

2012 Victory Cross Roads Delux 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 2012 Victory Cross Roads Delux, 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.

⚠ Safety Recalls (2)

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Oct 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.

EQUIPMENT Sep 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.
