The 2016 MY Indian Chieftain is the American answer to riders who want a two-wheeler capable of crossing even whole continents, without straying too much from the consecrated style one would expect from the American brand. It comes standard with touring-enhancing features, such as hard, lockable saddlebags, a dual seat, a fork-mounted, bat-wing fairing with a small windscreen and an integrated audio system, as well as modern technologies such as ABS and cruise control.
At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1811cc, Thunder Stroke 111 V-Twin powerplant mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce a claimed 139 Nm of torque at 2600 rpm.
