Victor R V80 Xpress

If you are stuck in traffic, you probably will see more motorcycles than other modes of transportations combined. Among those motorcycles, you will definitely see more commuter bikes than other kinds. This is mostly because, the commuting segment is more pocket friendly. They are also easy to maintain, as these motorcycles can be serviced from most service points, unlike premium motorcycles.

Victor-R is a brand of motorcycle brought to the Bangladeshi public by Rasel Industries. Victor R generally focuses on retro-styled, simple, and affordable low-capacity motorcycles. Two of the most popular motorcycles by Victor R are the Victor R Classic 100 and Victor R Café 100. Victor R motorcycles are mostly popular due to their affordability and simplicity.

The white and red color variants are quite popular among the Bangladeshi biking community.

The Victor R V80 Xpress comes with a very simple and analogue instrument cluster. The instrument cluster includes a speedometer, RPM counter, odo and tripmeter, and other necessary indicators. The instrument cluster also includes a gear position indicator, which is rare for a bike of this capacity.

The Victor R V80 Xpress comes with a full halogen light setup. The headlight is a halogen light. The indicators and taillight are also halogen. The light setup is okay for a bike of this price and capacity.

The top speed of this bike is not much, but enough. The bike is expected to have a top speed of about 80-90kmph.

Physical Attributes:
The Victor R V80 Xpress is fairly low and assistive towards shorter riders. With low saddle height comes low ground clearance. The bike’s ground clearance is about 150mm, which might be a bit problematic with a heavy pillion. The bike is tall and upright, which suits the commuter category. The bike also has a short wheelbase, of only 1230mm, which may not have the best stability while leaning at corners. The bike has a 9liter fuel tank which is not very great for long rides, but is good enough for the city commute.

The height, width, length, and weight of the Victor R V80 Xpress are 1160mm, 800mm, 1910mm, and 94kg respectively. The bike has a large seating area, which expands the kind of riders who can swing a leg over this bike. The bike is also very light, so flicking the bike from one side to another will be quite easy, and slow speed maneuvers would also be easy in heavy traffic.

Engine and Transmission:
The Victor R V80 Xpress has a 4-stroke engine with 82.74cc and is air-cooled. The engine gives out 6.0BHP of power at 7500rpm and 4.5Nm of torque at 6000RPM.

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:
The Victor R V80 Xpress comes with a dual drum brake setup. The front and the rear of the bike gets drum brakes. The brakes will be good enough for a bike of this power and capacity. The brakes are also expected to be like this considering the price. But increasing the price a bit and adding a disc at the front would have done a great deal for the bike.

The Victor R V80 Xpress comes with telescopic forks on the front and dual shock absorber at the rear. The front forks are expected to perform just like regular forks. The rear suspension setup is expected to be a bit soft to fit the commuter segment. The rear shock absorbers will be quite enough for the regular pillion to have a comfortable ride.

The Victor R V80 Xpress comes with alloy wheels. The front and the rear have tires of 2.50/17 and 2.75/17 sections. Considering the bike, the rear tire is a bit small. A 3/18 section tire would do more justice to the bike. But with the present setup, the riders will just have to be a bit more cautious while leaning at the corners or wet roads.
