controls that channel the wind to maximize comfort “while a padded passenger backrest, three-position adjustable floorboards and dual zone heated seats give your passengers the control they deserve. An air-adjustable rear suspension further aids rider and passenger comfort, while ABS and new LED lighting helps keep your mind at ease.” 2016 Empulse TT “Twist and go” Vision Tour “Uniquely American, uniquely Victory” “What if you cast off all convention and set out to build the ultimate American touring bike without any rules or restrictions on how that bike had to look, feel or act?” Victory say the result would be their Vision – “America’s most comfortable touring bike.” Features include wind tunnel derived, frame-mounted full-coverage fairing, extra-rigid cast aluminum frame, air-adjustable rear suspension, and four-valve overhead-cam Freedom 106 engine, standard ABS and cruise control, a heated seat and heated grips, and 29 gallons of storage capacity. “We’re equal opportunity speed freaks,” say Victory. “Whether it burns hydrocarbons or kilowatt-hours, we don’t care as long as it’s fast. The Empulse TT is fast where it matters most. Built on the same platform that claimed a spot on the podium at both the Isle of Man and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, it accelerates up to 100+ mph and has a 10.4 kWh battery module that can fully charge in 3.9 hours.” Features include sport-tuned inverted front forks and an adjustable suspension. Victory say this is “the only electric bike equipped with a gearbox – a six-speed transmission – although shifting is entirely optional as it also operates in a twist-and-go mode for maximum convenience.” www.victorymotorcycles.com
