History of the Victory Cross Country
New for 2010
The Cross Country was new for 2010: a hard-bagger cruiser with a handlebar-mounted fairing. It had a Freedom V-twin engine, 21 gallons of cargo capacity, 4.7 inches of suspension travel, floorboards, cruise control and an MP3-compatible sound system.
Cross Roads
The Cross Roads, also new for 2010, shared the Cross Country’s horsepower and cargo capacity. Its 106-cubic-inch Freedom V-twin and 21 gallons of luggage space were combined with cruiser styling, comfortable seating and a wind-blocking windshield, which Victory said gave the rider “an appetite for the open road”.
Specification
Both models used the 106 cu in (1,740 cc) four-stroke 50° V-twin with 92 hp (69 kW) and 109 lb·ft (148 N·m), a six-speed gearbox, electronic fuel injection with dual 45 mm throttle bodies, a 5.8 US gal (22 L) tank and a carbon-fibre reinforced belt final drive. The Cross Country was also offered as an 8-Ball, which came in one colour at a lower price with fewer add-ons.
Design and features
- Handlebar fairing: the Cross Country’s fairing was mounted on the handlebars.
- Hard bags: a bagger with 21 gallons of cargo capacity.
- Touring equipment: floorboards, cruise control and an MP3-compatible sound system.
- Long travel: 4.7 inches of suspension travel.
