2018 Chieftain

The Indian Chieftain is the first model of the American brand to mount fairing and rigid suitcases, although this does not mean that it loses the essence that the rest of the models have.The Chieftain is a model designed for long routes, hence it was developed thinking in comfort and equipment. The screen, which is automatically regulated, hides a first-rate audio system and incorporates LED lights. Although its aesthetic is classic, the Chieftain is a model that incorporates very modern elements, such as keyless ignition or remote locking of the suitcases.

Description

The Indian Chieftain is the first model of the American brand to mount fairing and rigid suitcases, although this does not mean that it loses the essence that the rest of the models have.The Chieftain is a model designed for long routes, which is why it was developed thinking in comfort and equipment. The screen, which is automatically regulated, hides a first-rate audio system and incorporates LED lights. Although its aesthetic is classic, the Chieftain is a model that incorporates very modern elements, such as keyless ignition or remote locking of the suitcases.

The Chieftain’s engine is the Thunder Stroke 111 with a displacement greater than 1,800 cc and whose torque figure is devastating: 150 Nm at 2,100 rpm. The sound that emanates from its double exhaust is evocative, very hoarse but not strident, as the canons indicate.

The Chieftain 2018 is only available in steel gray, although the possibilities for customization with original accessories is almost endless.
