Thanks to a new made for Victory S&S Cycle Stage 2 Performance Cam Kit® (MSRP $549.99 US / $699.99 CAD) the performance parts offer 20% more horsepower and 10% more torque for motorcycles featuring the powerful Freedom 106 engine.
including the Magnum, Cross Country, Cross Country Tour as well as the Cross Roads® and Hard-Ball®.
The new S&S Stage 2 Performance Cam Kit increase performance without sacrificing smooth engine response at lower speeds to deliver the full-bore Victory Motorcycles riding experience. Designed to be used in conjunction with the Victory Stage 1 Tri-Oval Exhaust or Victory Stage 1 Round Exhaust (required and sold separately), this combined kit generates 20 percent more horsepower and 10 percent more torque than the already potent stock Freedom 106 engine for the Cross Country and Cross Roads models, which is well known for handling horsepower upgrades.
The kit includes front and rear cams, a high-flow air dam specifically designed to significantly increase airflow to the engine, and a calibration download card for the dealer. Currently available in 49 states (still pending CARB approval for sale in California) the kit features a one-year warranty. Dealer installation is required.
A Made For Victory® endorsement signifies factory approval in the use of these products on Victory motorcycles, that applicable quality, emissions and safety requirements have been met, and that your motorcycle warranty will not be impacted with the addition of these aftermarket products.
“Made For Victory products allows Victory Motorcycles to partner with some of the top suppliers in the motorcycle industry,” says Brandon Kraemer, Product Manager for Victory Motorcycles. “This kit requires no additional Dyno tuning or aftermarket assistance and completely removes the normal trade-off of performance vs. drivability that is common when installing different cams. An additional benefit to the rider is a less costly upgrade vs. the aftermarket, with the production fuel system being utilized as it was designed to be without any further components.”
“Making power is what we do and we’re excited to partner with Victory in their efforts to expand their performance product range,” says David Zemla, Vice President of Marketing at S&S Cycle.

That motor is all ready a bear,watch out HD !!!
It’s nice to see Victory offer performance options. But for those interested, same as with Harley and their SE parts, the aftermarket outperforms factory options. The most popular aftermarket cam kits boost power by 30% and is a very nice and smooth running combo. Yes, the motors handle the upgrades very well, add a big bore kit and clutch plate and these motors put 130-140 hp down at the wheel. I’m sure there are many riders who will prefer the option of dealer installed with warranty though, nice job Victory.
2 HD dealers told me that their sales are relatively slow and that Indian steals sales from them…
Victory is getting strong. Not as strong as Indian, but progressing very well..
S&S does it again!
S&S rebuild Harley engines and makes Victory engines more powerful. Next step is Indian?
This “partnership”…OEM and an aftermarket supplier/a competitor for service parts seems remarkable. Is this a first or am I just behind the times???
richards, I’m just going to make a wild guess that Victory knows that Harley guy knows and trusts the S&S label. If long time Harley guy finally decides to visit a Victory dealer and give these bikes a try, what interests him more, a bike with a Victory stage 2 cam upgrade available, or a factory warrantied S&S stage 2 cam upgrade? It’s a marketing ploy, and unlike other attempts I think Victory did pretty well here.
Indian may “steal” sales from Harley – it happened when I bought my Scout a few weeks ago – but MANY Indian dealerships are located right next to an H-D dealership. I thought this was a shrewd decision on Indian’s part. However, I have learned from my travels around the US that in almost all of the instances I have seen, the Indian and H-D shops are owned by the same dude, so he wins either way. Shrewd on HIS part for sure,
Bob, could be I guess. I know from (Heavy Duty market) experience that the OEM’s will in some instances purchase production and/or service parts from manufacturers who are in the business of selling in the aftermarket. This is contingent of course that the OEM specifications are not used to make aftermarket parts. However, being in partnership with a aftermarket supplier seems to me to be precedent setting. Normally, the OEM would simply contract with the manufacturer to make the parts and sell them under the engine manufacturers name. Seems strange…
Caveat Emptor. ..Z
This is not the first time Victory has used S&S , I have a S&S air cleaner on my 06 Jackpot .
Eh Greg…there’s a slight dif. S&S making parts as an aftermarket company vs. the factory offering S&S parts as a warrantied street legal upgrade. This is Victory cashing in on the reputation of S&S for a dealer installed and warrantied upgrade. As someone whose been very critical of Victory’s marketing in the past I give them huge kuddos for this. S&S means something to a lot of guys that a “Victory S2 upgrade” wouldn’t be as impressed with. BTW, Lloyd’s Torque Tubes and a PC-III make a really nice improvement on the S&S intake 🙂
Whenever a Good New Manufacturer enters the Market in motorcycles or Windows, their sheer presence calls for STEALING Sales from their Competition. When a Great Manufacturer like Polaris Industries does what they are doing, building a Great Product its only going to take Business away from H-D and Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki etc. What needs to be done is to Bring First Time Riders into the Love of riding Motorcycles, even if we have to go after, Golfers!#%&?
