106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM® V-TWIN
Whether you’re on the open road outside of town or cruising the city’s glass canyons, the Freedom® V-Twin delivers 110 ft-lbs of green-light torque with ultimate authority. It’s provides the powerful pulse of every Victory Cruiser, and announces your arrival with every crack of the throttle.

6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
The best-performing transmission on the street syncs up with the impressive power of the Freedom® V-twin and keeps the Hammer 8-Ball ride smooth and strong. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift is smooth and clean.

110 FT-LBS OF TORQUE
The Freedom® 106/6 V-Twin delivers instant throttle response and outstanding acceleration that gets a rider off the line and through traffic in complete control. Even while cruising in 6th gear, there’s passing power to spare.

INVERTED FRONT FORK
Inverted forks enhance the muscle cruiser styling and the handling of the Hammer 8-Ball. This bike delivers easy, responsive handling with its 18” wheel, meaty front tire, and inverted forks. Plus, dual front disc brakes provide sport bike-level premium braking.

250mm REAR TIRE
This is big meat, and it means business. The distinctive 250mm rear tire on the Hammer 8-Ball delivers great grip, a smooth ride, easy handling and enough attitude to convince wanna-be riders to keep their distance.

The Hammer 8-Ball is the king of solo style with its gloss black cowl covering the passenger seat to create a clean gunslinger look. When it’s time to ride 2-up, pop off the cowl, saddle up and roll on. You can also add an accessory windscreen that holds the cowl when you’re sharing the ride.

BLACKED OUT PIPES AND HEADLIGHT
The powerful, understated style of the Hammer 8-Ball takes you to the dark side, where cool is king. The black bullet headlight shows the way and the blacked-out exhaust traces a dynamic black line along the side of this stylish muscle cruiser.
