2018 Chief

Description

The Indian Chief is a very classic image custom that represents the philosophy of the American brand, that is, a powerful and road bike. All the details have been taken care of to the maximum, starting with the interior wiring so as not to interfere with the design, the double exhaust, the illuminated head of the Indian in the front fender with skirt or its timeless style odometer inspired by that of the classic Indian.

But this classicism is only aesthetic, since it is a truly modern motorcycle equipped with elements such as the keyless start system or cruise control. The Chief’s engine is the modern 1811 cc Thunder Stroke 111 whose torque is devastating: 150 Nm at 2,100 rpm.

Indian has relied on the Chief for an aluminum chassis that makes the bike easy to ride at low speeds and on curvy roads. The fork is conventional, with 46mm bars, and the rear monoshock is adjustable in preload. The two front and rear discs measure 300mm and are floating.
