Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavy V-twin cruisers and want a stripped-down, muscular custom look rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for low-slung, boulevard-style cruising and short blasts around town where attitude and stance matter more than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider FitThe low 635mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight of over 300kg demands confident low-speed handling and upper-body strength at a stop or in tight maneuvers.
CharacterA classic bobber-styled cruiser character with a wide rear tire, minimalist bars, and a big air-cooled V-twin thump that rewards relaxed, unhurried riding over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sportbike agility, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2013 Victory High-Ball Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 635mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Victory High-Ball, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
