Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sport riding or commuting.
Rider FitA tall and heavy machine, but a very low seat height keeps it approachable for shorter riders despite the substantial curb weight.
CharacterA classic American V-twin bagger character, delivering strong low-end torque, a low rumbling exhaust note, and a stable, unhurried ride.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.

2018 Victory Magnum Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 654mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Victory Magnum, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
