Indian Sport Chief (2023)

Indian Sport Chief (2023)

The 2023 Sport Chief is the latest iteration of the iconic Indian Chief, elevating the bar for American V-Twin performance cruisers with premium performance-oriented componentry and timeless, American styling.

With a focus on performance, Indian Motorcycle has equipped the Sport Chief with top-notch components, including KYB inverted front forks and Brembo brakes, delivering superior handling and confidence-inspiring stopping power.

At the heart of the Sport Chief lies a blacked-out Thunderstroke 116 motor, producing 162 Nm of torque, while the new Quarter Fairing, moto-style bars, and mid-mount foot controls create a commanding, yet comfortable, riding position.

The result is an Indian Chief that’s ready to take on the most aggressive riding experiences, providing the confidence and capability to elevate the riding experience to new heights.
