Indian Chief (2017 -)

The Indian Chief is a masterclass in cruiser design, with its classically styled body and timeless appeal. At the heart of this bike is the legendary Thunder Stroke 111 V-Twin engine, a powerhouse of 119 ft-lbs of torque that’s designed to deliver effortless acceleration and unbridled power.

The Thunder Stroke 111 is a marvel of engineering, with its multi-directional finned valve covers, downward firing exhaust, and large, parallel push-rod tubes. It’s a testament to Indian Motorcycle’s commitment to innovation and performance.

But the Indian Chief is more than just a powerful engine – it’s a complete riding experience. With keyless ignition, cruise control, and chromed-out dual exhaust, you’ll feel like you’re riding on cloud nine. And with ABS brakes, you’ll ride with confidence, knowing you can brake under control in any situation.

Ride the Indian Chief and discover a new standard of cruiser riding – one that’s all about power, style, and freedom.
