INDIAN Roadmaster Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The production of Indian Roadmaster Elite is limited to just 200 units around the world. Compared to the basic model, Elite gets a lot of features and a 600 W PowerBand modernized stereo system with speakers in the fairing. The bike also has three selectable ride modes including Tour, Standard and Sport, allowing the traveler to adjust the bicycle's acceleration response to suit riding preferences.

As Indian’s top-of-the-line touring model, the Roadmaster spoils the rider and passenger with plush seating, generous wind protection (including an electric windscreen and removable fairing lowers with vents), anti-lock brakes, heated grips and seats, cruise control, adjustable passenger floorboards, remote locks for the spacious saddlebags and trunk (total luggage capacity is 142 liters), three power outlets and a tire-pressure monitoring system. And let’s not overlook the classic styling, with lots of chrome, that illuminated war bonnet on the front fender and first-class fit and finish.

The 2016 MY Indian Roadmaster is the most well-equipped machine in the 2016 Indian line-up, boasting the capability of crossing continents, whether solo or two-up. It comes standard with hard saddlebags, a rear trunk with a luggage rack atop it and an integrated passenger backrest, a fork-mounted, bat-wing fairing with a small windscreen and an integrated audio system, full-coverage fenders, slotted-disc wheels and a chromed, large-diameter, 2-into-1 exhaust system. Also, ABS and cruise control technologies come as standard.

In the tech/engine department, it sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1811cc, Thunder Stroke 111 V-Twin powerplant paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can reach a maximum power output of 139 Nm of torque at 2600 rpm.

The 2015 MY Indian Roadmaster is the American brand's response for those riders who want to spend as much time as possible behind the bars, but also want a vintage-looking machine. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1811cc, Thunder Stroke 111 V-Twin powerplant paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can reach a maximum power output of 139 Nm of torque at 2600 rpm.

It boasts standard features such as a rear trunk with a luggage rack mounted atop it and an integrated passenger backrest, a fork-mounted, bat-wing fairing with a small windscreen and an integrated audio system, full-coverage fenders, a chromed, large-diameter, 2-into-1 exhaust system and slotted-disc wheels.
