For the simple and special Hammer models, Victory uses the same 106 ci / 1,731 cc, 4-stroke 50° Freedom V-Twin engine as well as their six-speed overdrive transmission. These two features already qualify the Hammer and Hammer S both as boulevard cruising machines and powerful, efficient open road companions, but there’s actually more to these bikes than just this. For instance, the wheelbase measures 65.7 inches / 1,669 mm and the seat is positioned 26.5 inches / 673 mm from the ground, allowing the average-sized rider to stay in control of his ride at all times. The inverted forks meet the frame at a 32.7-degree rake angle, while the trail is of 5.5 inches / 140 mm, both these figures being meant to establish a thin line between proper handling and custom looks.
Price (2010 Victory Hammer Price )
While the 2010 Victory Hammer comes with an MSRP of $18,999 and the Hammer S an $18,499 one, Victory does offer the 8-Ball model for only a $14,499 starting price, which turns it into the solution for those not willing to go full length for a muscle bike. So I guess this isn’t the king of the lineup, but it looks bad and it’s cheap…enough to make it sell.
