Victory is shattering the sound barrier with the new 2016 Magnum X-1 Stealth Edition powered by a 200-watt 10-speaker surround sound audio system. Loaded with custom features such as billet wheels, a monochrome paint scheme featuring color-matched components and LED lighting, plus a MSRP that’s $1,000 lower than last year. Availability is limited, with dealers first getting the new model starting in February.
The Victory Magnum X-1’s paint job reflects the latest trend with a Stealth Gray suede monochrome style featuring color-matched hinges, fender fillers, lower frame covers, dash, speaker grills and headlight bezel. This may be the only motorcycle on the market that attracts custom fans and concert groupies.
The Magnum X-1, the loudest bike ever, puts you center stage as you roll down the road. Trips are measured in both miles and decibels. Twist the throttle and plug into 200 watts blasting through two 6×9 woofers and two tweeters in the saddlebags, as well as two 5.25-inch mid-bass speakers, two 2.5-inch mid-ranges and two more tweeters in the front fairing. The audio system fully integrates into any Bluetooth capable device, and features an informational window for input and song selection.
Making a statement on any stage, the Magnum X-1 Stealth Edition features the largest front wheel offered by an OEM at 21 inches. The wheels are machined from a single block of aluminum to make them both lighter and stronger to maintain the handling capabilities that have become a hallmark for Victory Motorcycles.
Inspired by a rock and roll laser show, the Magnum X-1’s smoke tinted LED headlight is 74% brighter than Victory’s standard halogen bulb while the bike’s thin blade LED turn signals and flush LED tail lamp glow amongst the crowd.
With Victory® accessories, riders can customize their bike without ever missing a beat. The show just rolls on with a multitude of options to customize your set. Check out the full accessory line-up at VictoryMotorcycles.com.
The 2016 Victory Magnum X-1 starts at $23,499 ($23,749 CA, $27,999 CND). Riders will have a chance to enjoy the Magnum X-1 at the first big party of the season during Daytona Beach Bike Week, where it will be one of the featured demo models in the company display.

Looks good, even better w/o that dopey squared off windshield.
Badassness!
More noise pollution…I’m getting old. Nice looking, though.
Great looking bagger. Looking stealth. But not into loud music while riding.
How to annoy everyone at the Starbucks parking lot…
I’ll take a loud stereo over loud pipes, at least the stereo comes with volume control.
“Making a statement on any stage, the Magnum X-1 Stealth Edition features the largest front wheel offered by an OEM at 21 inches.”
Pretty sure the Wide-Glide still comes with a 21.
Don’t forget the benefit of loud music in your car or coming from your motorcycle. To stay awake on a long trip. Sometine, a safety issue..
I think it’s a pretty good price for such an equipped machine.
Still have no idea why I would need or want a radio on a motorcycle. If you cannot stand to be without your music instead of enjoying the open road, just buy a car.
That’s a whole lot of bike and with a $1000 price drop.
Bob, Just saying….I’d take loud(ish) pipes over a radio anytime.
It’s a beautiful bagger and I like loud music better than loud pipes. Sorry guys.
Enjoying the open road…yes, that’s what it’s all about. Which is pretty hard to do if your ears are ringing from your pipes droning on at 90 decibels for the last 400 miles. I’m not anti loud pipes, one of my bikes has ’em, but I chose that particular exhaust specifically for performance reasons. I can’t help but find it rather silly when guys go out of their way to make their bikes sound fast without doing anything to make them actually be fast. Just seems weird to me, but whatever. On another bike I purposely kept it quiet as me or me and the misses use it for actual long distance riding. And we do enjoy music on those trips. It’s all about freedom right?
define prissy.
The handlebars look taller than previous stock, too.
I rode a shovelhead for 27 years, when it ran. I was anti fancy all kinds of stuff, from stereo to heated grips (or seat) to an electric starter, which I put on it in the last build a year before I sold it.
Got a relatively stock Cross Country last June. Diggin the tunes, but turn it down out of respect in parking lots and stop lights, or pulling into the parking lot to teach for the day. I’m riding a hell of a lot more, in more varied conditions, and starting to appreciate the possibility of heated grips.
I could go on.
Writing and recording music and building and riding bikes are the pursuits in life that I love the most. I even spent way too much time and money building myself a recording studio, but I’d still rather listen to my bike while I ride. I think the whole huge stereo, or even headphones on a bike desire is one of those things that I’ll just never understand.
I have a sportster with a 480watt rms stereo on it with 4-6×9 JBL speakers and it sounds really good. Next addon will be leg warmer fairings with 4-5 1/4″ speakers. Dont think the Victory can touch my for audio.
@ Mike – Words of wisdom.
I can already see the new T-Shirts……LOUD STEREOS SAVES LIVES. Hahahaha. Sorry, just couldn’t pass that one up. 😉
Turn off the stereo and gain 10 horsepower!
Actually, I prefer my satellite radio with helmet speakers. I don’t want people to know I listen to the Monkees.
Great looking machine but I still miss the original winged engine guards that came on the original Cross Country.
More concerned about bike stats than the bikes stereo stats..really
Stereo? Got no use for it as the twin thump is my stereo. The bike looks great and if you get on one you’ll understand why it’s a great bike,
Never saw the need for a radio on a motorcycle, but I am an old gray beard.
Victory bikes have a speed control that ups the sound with your speed. Sometimes I like to crank her up while heading down the road. To each his own, but I ride the only truly American built and made motorcycle.
to each their own. Personally, I don’t like tunes on two wheels.
I was involved in a focus goup for this bike. It was ugly then and it’s ugly now.
I think it’s pretty cool !!!
For those out there that like that sort of thing.
I believe the CVO Street Glide does the same thing with it’s “Boom” (over the top) audio
& yes, if you wish you can turn any H-D touring platform
into a Quadraphonic type sound system with over 10-20 speakers / 1000 watts
Style dept. it hits all of the “bells” :
mini apes handlebars instead of the ugly stock ones
200 watts is reasonable enough..
I could never see the reason to turn it all the way up
21 inch front wheel & yes you still could take it up to 23′
(anymore does not make any senses)
So, for a “factory custom” it’ll do
putting down a lonesome highway listening to a song like Duane Allman’s “Please Be With Me” is “is icing on the cake.” JMHO
Great! Now you don’t need a Dodge Neon or Honda Accord with 4 inch exhaust and subwoofers to rattle windows and obnoxiously annoy with hip hop cursing while all are stuck in mile long traffic jams.
