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.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells
Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
