Quick take
Who should consider it
Hammer is strongest for riders who want very cheap used direct drive. It looks most appropriate for enthusiast riders based on price, power, accuracy and stored review signals.
Check first
Setup and trade-offs
Check old electronics before buying. Also confirm cassette, axle and app compatibility for your own bike, especially if you are buying used.
Market note

Hammer is mainly useful as a used-market reference. Condition, accessories and firmware support matter more than launch specs.
