Hammer

Introduced for the 2005 model year, this Victory cruiser established the brand’s more aggressive “big tire” performance-custom image. It was part of the Hammer family that broadened during the late 2000s with related variants such as the Hammer S and Hammer 8-Ball, but the base Hammer nameplate itself did not follow a single uninterrupted run. Victory’s own parts and service listings show the Hammer in 2005, again across the 2006–2011 model years, and later for 2014, indicating a production gap before the name returned. As a result, the Hammer is best understood as a recurring Victory nameplate rather than one continuous model run. It became one of the brand’s signature muscular cruisers, known for its stretched stance and custom-inspired presence, and it remains a recognizable part of Victory’s lineup history.
