All
the models are based on a timeless, simplistic steel-tube frame and powered by
Indian Motorcycle’s powerful Thunderstroke motor; the new Indian Chief, Indian
Chief Bobber and Indian Super Chief will offer three unique takes on the
classic American V-twin, each appealing to a slightly different rider.
Speaking
about the new lineup, Lalit Sharma, Country Manager, Polaris India Pvt. Ltd.
said, “What could be the best way to celebrate the 100 iconic years of the
Indian Chief than to introduce our iconic new lineup of Chief in India. We are
looking forward to bringing in the new lineup of motorcycle for the Indian bike
lovers. We are very positive that the new lineup will be a huge success for our
Indian range of motorcycles.”
The
new Indian Chief lineup marks the intersection of simplicity and power.
Mechanical and simple, Chief models are based on a classic steel welded tube
frame. The lineup features a four-gallon fuel tank, bobbed rear fender, dual
outboard preload-adjustable rear shocks, dual exhaust, LED lighting, keyless
ignition, and Pirelli Night Dragon tires. Along with cruise control, Chief
riders can adjust throttle response by selecting one of three ride modes:
sport, standard or tour.
Featuring
a short wheelbase of 64-inches, a low seat height of 26-inches and a wet weight
as low as 670 pounds, the Indian Chief lineup inspires confidence and is
approachable for any rider. The Chief’s conventional 46mm front forks with
5.2-inches of travel, 28.5-degree lean angle, and comfortable ergonomics,
create a capable machine for even the most technical of ride routes.
Chief
riders will have access to over 80 accessories, including parts specifically
designed for Chief models, as well as several existing pieces available for
Scout and Thunderstroke models. Indian Motorcycle’s accessory line has been
designed to enhance performance, personalize style and add rider comfort.
