The new Victory RR electric motorcycle has been developed over the past year using data gathered during last year’s TT Zero and is ridden by William Dunlop. Victory Racing has successfully run its new Victory RR bike in the practice sessions ahead of the TT Zero race, achieving a 115.431 mph lap. It was also Victory Racing’s first ever sub 20-minute lap of the TT course in a week William achieved a top speed of 165mph through Crosby and 158.6mph through the Sulby speed trap. He was the fastest through the Grandstand hitting 146.1 mph.
William Dunlop said: “That was really peaceful, it was real nice. Even though I only did one lap last year, I feel much more comfortable riding this new bike. Team manager Brian Weismann said the Victory RR has a new battery with a higher energy density compared to last year as well as an upgraded Parker GVM electric motor with new windings. Subtle changes to the Victory RR bike for this practice included an improvement to the final drive gearing, a pressure change in the Metzeler RaceTec K2 tyres and a front-end suspension tweak by the team at K-Tech Suspension.

Looking forward to the race tomorrow.
I’ve been watching the Isle of Man on Velocity. Awesome coverage of an amazing course. What history the race has. Love it.
Awesome! I wish I was there to watch the races in person!
Awesome!
