Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience handling big, heavy V-twin cruisers at low speed.
PurposeBuilt for muscular, straight-line boulevard cruising and power cruiser style presence rather than corner carving or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight and wide 250mm rear tire demand solid low-speed strength and confidence.
CharacterA bold, torque-heavy power cruiser that rewards riders who want visual muscle and strong roll-on acceleration over nimbleness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone prioritizing agile cornering and long-haul touring comfort.

2009 Victory Hammer Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 673mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Victory Hammer, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
