A partnership with Roland Sands Design and Cycle World, will see Victory Motorcycles race a new prototype engine at the Pike\u2019s Peak International Hill Climb on June 28.<\/p>\n<p>The ambitious\u00a0prototype racing motorcycle has been named Project 156 for the 156 turns in the Pike\u2019s Peak International Hill Climb, also known as the Race to the Clouds, and will feature a liquid-cooled engine and be piloted by Cycle World Road Test Editor Don Canet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have an intense focus at Victory Motorcycles to prove the performance of our vehicles,\u201d said Rod Krois, Victory General Manager in the USA. \u201cCompeting as an American OEM at America\u2019s race is an exciting opportunity. The grueling conditions at Pike\u2019s Peak provide the perfect proving ground for our new Project 156 race engine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Project 156 motorcycle is a hand-built road-racing bike with a prototype Victory motor developed at Victory\u2019s Minnesota research and development facility. This liquid-cooled engine represents the future performance of the Victory brand. It features intake Twin 67mm throttles with downdraft runners for maximum power and torque as well as a performance valvetrain including titanium intake and exhaust valves to allow for maximum engine speed.<\/p>\n<p>The Roland Sands Design team developed and built the chassis to cradle the Project 156 motor. \u201cThis truly has been an All-American effort,\u201d said Roland Sands. \u201cThe Race to the Clouds is a legendary event and we couldn\u2019t be more proud to partner with Victory on the endeavor. We\u2019ve built lots of custom motorcycles, but building a purpose-built race bike for this project has been a unique experience that we\u2019ll remember for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pike\u2019s Peak International Hill Climb, an annual automobile and motorcycle hill climb to the summit of Pike\u2019s Peak, Colorado, will take place on June 28, 2015. Having started in 1916, it is the second-oldest motorsport event in America after the Indianapolis 500. The track measures 12.42 miles (19.99 km) over 156 turns, climbing 4,720 feet (1,440 m) from the start at Mile 7 on Pike\u2019s Peak Highway, to the finish at 14,110 feet (4,300 m), on grades averaging 7 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since Victory and Roland Sands introduced me to this project I\u2019ve been counting down the days to the event,\u201d said Cycle World Road Test Editor Don Canet. \u201cThis will be my second time racing the Pike\u2019s Peak International Hill Climb. Now that I\u2019ve had a taste of what it\u2019s like I\u2019m ready to get back and finish stronger in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Project 156 visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victorymotorcycles.com\/en-us\/project-156\" target=\"_blank\">www.victorymotorcycles.com\/en-us\/project-156<\/a> or follow on Twitter @VictoryBikes and on Facebook at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VictoryMotorcyclesAustraliaandNZ\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/VictoryMotorcyclesAustraliaandNZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<br \/><br \/><div class=\"omc-video-container\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uian-lyXfh4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is seems building some of the best cruisers on the market isn&#8217;t enough for Victory Motorcycles.
