Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with prior experience on big, heavy V-twin cruisers who are comfortable managing a bike that's over 300kg.
Purpose	Built for straight-line muscle-cruiser attitude and torque-driven street presence rather than cornering finesse or distance touring.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height is approachable, but the substantial dry weight and wide 250-section rear tyre demand deliberate, confident low-speed handling and decent upper-body strength at a stop.
Character	A brash, torque-heavy power cruiser that favors bold acceleration, deep exhaust note, and aggressive styling over agility or long-haul refinement.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking a nimble commuter, an off-road capable machine, or a plush long-distance touring platform.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Victory Hammer 8 Ball, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
