Indian® Chief® Dark Horse
Features:
BLACKED-OUT STYLING
Blacked-Out Styling It’s black from end to end, including the wheels, forks, handlebars, engine, bodywork – even the Warbonnet up front.
THUNDER STROKE® 111
Thunder Stroke® 111 The proven, powerful Thunder Stroke® 111 engine serves up 150 Nm of torque, and is finished primarily in black.
KEYLESS IGNITION
Keyless Ignition Enjoy keyless starting that’s secure and convenient. With the Indian® Chief Dark Horse® key fob in your pocket, climb on the bike, push a button and ride. If you misplace the fob, use the individual security code that you pre-programmed into the ignition.
ABS & CRUISE CONTROL
ABS & Cruise Control This advanced, automotive-quality braking lets you ride with confidence and helps you stop under control. Easy to set and adjust, the cruise control enhances your enjoyment during highway cruising.
TRUE DUAL EXHAUST
True Dual Exhaust The engine produces a rich exhaust note from the true dual exhaust. The exhaust was acoustically engineered to eliminate high-pitched sounds, so what you really hear is Indian Motorcycle® thunder.
BADGING
Distinctive Tank Graphics The fuel tank features distinctive monochrome Warbonnet graphics seen only on the Indian Chief Dark Horse®.
WAR BONNET
War Bonnet Lighting the way as it has done since 1947 is the iconic Warbonnet. Mounted proudly atop the front fender in a blacked-out frame, this light makes it clear, “This is a genuine Indian Motorcycle®.”
UNPOLISHED STYLE
The first Indian Motorcycle of its kind. The 2017 Indian Chief Dark Horse maintains the legendary Indian Chief styling, while taking an unpolished and raw approach to its finish with blacked-out styling.
Blacked-out Cast Aluminum Wheels
The Chief Dark Horse features blacked-out cast aluminum wheels for an even edgier look.
