Victory Hammer S

The Victory Hammer S is a formidable performance cruiser that stands out with its striking design and robust performance. I found the bike to be a head-turner, especially with its massive 250mm rear tire and the sleek, blacked-out features of the S model. The 106 cubic inch V-twin engine delivers smooth power delivery with ample torque, making it a joy to ride on various road conditions. However, the bikes handling can be a bit challenging, particularly due to the large rear tire, which may cause it to run wide in corners. The suspension, although firm, is effective, and the brakes are strong and predictable. Despite some minor issues like firm suspension and occasional vibration at higher speeds, the Hammer S is a great choice for those seeking a powerful and stylish cruiser.

In India, the Victory Hammer S comes with a significant price tag, reflecting its premium features and performance. The ex-showroom price for the Victory Hammer S is approximately 13,50,000. When you factor in additional costs such as road tax, registration, and insurance, the on-road price can escalate to around 16,00,000 to 17,00,000, depending on the state and local taxes. While this is certainly on the higher side, the bikes exceptional build quality, powerful engine, and unique styling make it a worthwhile investment for enthusiasts looking for a high-performance cruiser.

The mileage of the Victory Hammer S is not its strongest suit, given its large and powerful engine. You can expect an average fuel efficiency of around 15-20 kml, which is typical for a performance cruiser of this caliber. This means that running costs will be higher, especially considering the current fuel prices in India. However, for those who prioritize performance and style over fuel efficiency, the Hammer S still offers a compelling package.
