Overview

Introducing the 2009 American IronHorse Slammer, a striking custom-cruiser that embodies the spirit of freedom and individuality in the motorcycle world. As a standout model from the renowned American IronHorse lineup, the Slammer is designed for riders who crave not just performance, but a powerful presence on the road. With its bold design and robust specifications, it appeals to both new enthusiasts and seasoned riders looking for a machine that makes a statement. This bike is perfect for those who appreciate the artistry of custom motorcycles while still yearning for the thrill of the open road. At the heart of the Slammer lies a formidable 1917.40 cc (117.00 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine, engineered to deliver exhilarating performance and a rich, throaty growl. With a compression ratio of 10.2:1 and SMART electronic fuel injection, this powerhouse ensures smooth acceleration and responsive throttle control. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, riders can expect seamless gear shifts and a satisfying ride experience, whether cruising down the highway or tackling winding back roads.

The Slammer is built with a soft-style frame featuring a 2-inch backbone and a single arched downtube, providing a unique aesthetic and a comfortable ride. Its 45-degree rake and telescopic front suspension work in harmony to deliver agile handling, while the stealth swing arm with a 2-inch stretch at the rear ensures excellent stability and comfort over various terrains. Safety is also paramount, with polished 4-piston calipers on both front and rear brakes, providing responsive stopping power when it matters most. Additionally, the 13.24-litre fuel capacity means you can enjoy longer rides without frequent stops at the pump, making it a perfect companion for road trips. **
