Victory Core Concept
Consisting of only the most
raw, essential elements of a motorcycle, the name Core was chosen because it
embodies the motorcycle in its simplest form - an engine, frame, wheels and
front suspension. Lead Industrial Designer, Michael Song states that, Core is
pure motorcycle, we wanted to strip everything not critical and build a
motorcycle that uses some of the production technologies we have incorporated
into the Victory Vision.
While the Vision may have
served as a muse for the project in terms of styling and production, the Core is
clearly an entity unto itself. As Song himself states, The frame and engine
architecture of the Victory Vision was our inspiration, but we wanted to make a
statement beyond custom and create something completely unique.
Propulsion comes from the
Victory Freedom 106/6 Stage 2 powerplant that churns out 97 hp and 113 ft-lbs of
torque. The purposeful looking bike is elementary not only in design, but in
execution. There is a theme of minimalism that is carried out across the entire
bike giving the impression that is it all business. The sleek, no-frill design
is reminiscent of the BMW Lo Rider or even the Confederate Wraith, but with
longer, cleaner flowing lines.
While the lack of rear
suspension and apparent lack of seat comfort allude to the fact that the Core
would does not hold comfort at the top of its priorities, the bike is simply a
design study and not a prelude to a production motorcycle. While elements of its
design may be seen in future bikes, the Core will never see production,
according to sources at Victory.
