About

The Victory Octane is a 2017 model that marked a significant departure from traditional American V-twin motorcycles with its modern twist. Powered by a 1179cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, it features dual overhead cams and four-valve heads, allowing it to rev beyond 8000 rpm and deliver 104 horsepower and 76 foot-pounds of torque. Weighing just 528 pounds, it is both the lightest and quickest Victory motorcycle ever built. The bike boasts a stiff and light cast-aluminum frame, sharp steering geometry, and a tight 62.1-inch wheelbase, making it highly agile. The muscular styling, sportbike-inspired bullet cowl, and matte finish give it a distinctive look. With a 6-speed transmission, cable-actuated wet clutch, and belt final drive, the Octane is geared for quick acceleration and high-speed performance. Its features, such as the 41mm fork and preload-adjustable twin shocks, contribute to its sporty and responsive handling. Overall, the Victory Octane is a high-performance motorcycle designed for those who crave raw power and adrenaline-pumping rides.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Victory Octane is a powerhouse of a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of modern American muscle. With its 1179cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, producing 104 horsepower and 76 foot-pounds of torque, this bike is designed for raw adrenaline and exceptional performance. The engine, derived from the Project 156 prototype tested at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, offers a quick-revving response akin to a sportbike, making it a standout in the American V-twin segment. The lightweight cast-aluminum frame and sharp steering geometry enhance its agility, allowing for impressive lean angles and rapid acceleration. While the ride can be firm and the brakes may not be as potent as some might hope, the Octanes overall package of power, handling, and styling makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a high-performance ride.

Price

In India, the Victory Octane would have been priced competitively, but since Victory Motorcycles ceased operations in 2017, the Octane is no longer available for purchase as a new vehicle. However, if we were to consider its launch price in the US (10,499) and adjust for Indian market conditions, the ex-showroom price would likely have been around 8-10 lakhs. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, could have ranged from 10-12 lakhs. This pricing would have positioned the Octane as a premium performance motorcycle, appealing to enthusiasts looking for a unique blend of power and handling.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 18 July 2024 12:20 AM The Victory Octane V-Twin, inspired by the Project 156 concept, has been praised for its high-performance capabilities and agile design. This 1200cc, liquid-cooled bike produces 104hp, making it a formidable cruiser. Its lighter weight and nimble handling have garnered significant attention from motorcycle enthusiasts. I think this bike is a great addition to the cruiser market, offering a fun and powerful ride.

Saturday, 15 June 2024 08:43 PM Despite its impressive specs, the Victory Octane V-Twin faces challenges in the Indian market due to the brands discontinued status. Polaris, the parent company, ceased production of Victory motorcycles in 2017, which affects the availability and support for these bikes. This makes maintenance and finding parts a bit more complicated for owners. I believe this is a significant drawback for potential buyers in India.

Monday, 20 May 2024 10:15 PM The design of the Victory Octane V-Twin has been likened to Harley-Davidsons Dyna series, but with a more modern and performance-oriented twist. The bike features a sleek, muscular look and is equipped with advanced technology, making it appealing to those seeking both style and performance. I think the design is a strong point, blending classic cruiser aesthetics with contemporary engineering.

Friday, 26 April 2024 12:53 AM In terms of market value, the Victory Octane V-Twin, like other Victory models, has seen a decline in resale prices. This is partly due to the brands discontinuation and the subsequent lack of new models and support. However, this also makes the Octane a potentially good value purchase for those looking for a powerful cruiser at a lower price. I think its a great option for buyers on a budget who still want a high-performance bike.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 09:26 AM The mileage of the Victory Octane in India would be a concern for many buyers, given its high-performance nature. With its powerful 1179cc engine, the Octane is not designed for fuel efficiency. Real-world mileage can vary, but it is reasonable to expect around 15-20 kml in mixed riding conditions. This makes it less suitable for long-distance touring or daily commuting where fuel economy is a priority, but ideal for those who value raw power and performance over mileage.
