Victory Motorcycles has teamed up with the performance gurus at S&S Cycle to allow its riders to squeeze even more power out of their motorcycles. The boost applies to the Freedom 106 motor, which can be found in the Magnum, Cross Country, Cross Country Tour, Cross Roads, and Hard Ball bikes.

The new addition to the Made For Victory accessory line is called the S&S Stage 2 Performance Cam Kit. It was designed to ramp up performance without losing engine response or adding any roughness. It is used in conjunction with the Victory Stage 1 Tri-Oval Exhaust or Victory Stage 1 Round Exhaust (sold separately) to generate 20 percent more horsepower and 10 percent more torque. The Freedom 106 motor has proven to be a solid base for performance upgrades, making it ideal for this enhancement.

The kit includes front and rear cams, a high-flow air dam designed specifically for this setup, and a calibration download card for the installer. The kit is currently available in 49 states, as it is awaiting CARB approval for sale in California. Dealer installation is required, and it comes with a one-year warranty.

“Making power is what we do and we’re excited to partner with Victory in their efforts to expand their performance product range,” said David Zemla, vice president of marketing at S&S Cycle.

Made For Victory accessories and products carry factory approval when used on Victory motorcycles, meaning the parts have fulfilled quality, emissions, and safety requirements. In addition, use of these aftermarket products will not affect your motorcycle’s warranty.

“Made For Victory products allows Victory Motorcycles to partner with some of the top suppliers in the motorcycle industry,” said 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 versus 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.”

Made For Victory parts are designed exclusively for Victory’s line of bikes, and are designed through partnerships with manufacturers selected by the company.

The Victory Performance Cam Kit is available at dealerships for $550.

Rivian R2 vs Hyundai Ioniq 5: Should you wait for the Rivian R2?
Rivian R2

Rivian has taken the wraps off of the Rivian R2, an electric SUV that's similar to the much-loved R1S, but smaller and, crucially, cheaper. But the R2 goes up against some serious competition. The likes of Hyundai have been building solid EVs for some time now -- including the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

The R2 and the Ioniq 5 each make a compelling case for themselves, and they're likely to end up being similarly priced if the Ioniq 5 doesn't get much cheaper and the R2 does end up being sold at $45,000. To be fair, the cars are pretty different -- the R2 is more of an SUV, while the Ioniq 5 is much more crossover-sized. But because of their similar price, you might be deciding between the two. How do they compare? We put the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 head-to-head.
Design
The differences between the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are perhaps no more apparent than when it comes to design.

The 6 best remote car starters in 2024
Best car remote starters

While some modern vehicles come standard with remote start features, it's still relatively uncommon. That's a shame because if you live somewhere where cold weather, snow, and ice are frequent concerns, a remote car starter is one of the best auto accessories you can have. If you're not familiar with them, a remote car starter works similarly to a key fob, except it will actually start your car from a distance instead of just unlocking the doors or trunk. That means you can start your car from the warm comfort of your home or office before venturing out. If you live somewhere hot, you can even start your car and let the AC run for a little bit. You'll never enter a freezing cold or scorching hot vehicle again.

The best remote car starters have long ranges, replaceable batteries, and other handy features — but how do you know which is best for you? We’ve compiled a list of the best car starters in a range of prices and features. Keep in mind that while you can install some yourself, some will require a professional.
