Engineered by Victory for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2011 Victory Hammer 8 Ball pairs a 1731 cc (105.6 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.0 x 108.0 mm (4.0 x 4.3 inches) with a 9.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Hammer 8 Ball measures 305 kg (672 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,669 mm (65.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
