There’s one in every pack. At the front. Make way for the Indian Chieftain® Limited. Others step aside when they see you rolling down the street with its sawed-off open front fender, showcasing a 19” contrast cut wheel. Now the only question is where will you lead them?
The new open front fender exposes the new 19″ contrast cut wheel and dual front brakes, giving the bike a more custom feel. The flared fender design also offers a subtle nod to Indian’s “open” fenders of the 1920s and 1930s.
The new front wheel features a 10-spoke contrast-cut design that makes the wheel look even bigger than it already is. Paired with a matching 16″ rear wheel, these new head-turners bring this bike more attention than ever.
The Thunder Stroke® 111 produces 150 Nm of torque with extraordinary power at low RPM, so you can accelerate hard with power to spare in every gear.
Never fumble for your key again. With the proximity fob in your pocket, just climb on, press the start button and ride away. Misplace your fob? Simply enter your personal security code and go.
The Chieftain® Limited’s cast aluminum frame is lightweight yet exceptionally strong, providing excellent low-speed handling. There’s no frame flex at speed in the corners, and you’ll experience confidence-inspiring stability on highway, where it matters most.
To design this fairing, our team looked for inspiration outside of the motorcycle industry. They landed on the sleek and powerful streamliner locomotives of the 1950s. With these classically styled machines as their guide, a new icon for Indian Motorcycle® was born.
With a push of a handlebar-mounted button, this windshield can quickly raise or lower electronically. Lower it to enjoy the cooling airflow. Or raise it to block out wind and rain.
The Chieftain® Limited features an integrated audio system delivering premium-quality sound from high-output fairing. Smartphones and other audio sources can be connected via cable or Bluetooth®. (Shown with optional accessories).
This high-profile area features all-chrome hand controls. Plus, all of the wiring is routed inside the handlebars for a clean, premium-quality look.
The steering geometry of the Chieftain® Limited was engineered to deliver light, responsive handling, whether ridden solo with no cargo or two-up with full saddlebags.
With ABS braking, you’ll ride with confidence, knowing you can brake with control in any situation.
This cushioned, two-up seat features premium grade genuine leather designed to withstand the elements and retain its natural beauty. The contrast stitching creates a sleeker, streamlined look.
Automotive-quality cruise control is easy to set and adjust for smooth, relaxed cruising when the open road beckons.
These chrome highway bars provide premium-quality shine. You can also accessorize them with stylish wraps or comfortable footrests.
