Rider Profile

Best For	This power cruiser suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, torque-laden machine and a fat rear tire that demands deliberate steering input.
Purpose	Built for muscular boulevard cruising and straight-line torque thrills rather than corner carving or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	A low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial 305 kg weight requires solid low-speed balance and strength when maneuvering at a stop.
Character	It has a brawny, aggressive personality defined by big V-twin torque, a wide rear tire stance, and a stripped-down muscle cruiser attitude.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

2013 Victory Hammer S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2013 Victory Hammer S, 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.
