Press Releases
News Brief: New Indian Motorcycle Models announced at Dealer Meeting
New Chief Dark Horse and Chief Bomber will be on display at the Sturgis Rally
Kings Mountain, NC- Indian Motorcycle revealed two additional models- The Dark Horse and Bomber-to an excited dealer network. Fifteen Indian Motorcycle dealerships are open worldwide and representatives from each location were on hand for the first official dealership meeting June 22-24th.
Inspired by WWII aircraft, the Bomber is a limited edition Chief model and will only be available for one year. The Bomber is available in Military Green and Silver Smoke finishes. The pin-up girl tank artwork is inspired by the Bomber nose art of that era. The leather used on the seat and saddlebags are reminiscent of the feel and color of an old bomber jacket. The price of the Bomber is $30,999.
The Chief Dark Horse is a dark, sinister, mechanical looking motorcycle with a smoke "matte" finish and is available in Thunder Black,
Indian Red and Deep Water Blue. The colored headdress on the tank is a new twist on the colored versions of the past. The dark components on the bike including the blacked out headlight, tappet blocks, suspension, engine components, exhaust system, and hand controls make the remaining chrome components stand out. The Dark Horse is priced at $27,999.
The new Classic is the entry level Chief and is the only Chief model available with short fenders. It features the Indian script tank logo and is available in standard Indian Red or Thunder Black. Optional colors are also available in Dark Water Blue or Starlight Silver. The price starts at $25,999.
All Chiefs feature a 105 cubic inch PowerPlus V-Twin powertrain with electronic closed loop sequential port fuel injection. Engine cylinders are Nikasil plated and the stainless stell exhaust system is an integrated 3-way catalytic converter with heated oxygen sensors.
A six-speed Baker transmission delivers power through the belt drive. Stopping is achieved via Brembo 4-piston calipers, with 11.5" dual rotors up front. Standard 5.5-gallon tank helps extend cruising range. Seats are all-leather and built to exacting specifications.
"We're very excited about the new Indian models which bring a more distinct range to the Chief line," said Chris Bernauer, General Manager.
"Releasing new, superior product is a legacy that we are happy to continue."
Assembly takes place in Kings Mountain, NC with an incessant emphasis on quality and craftsmanship. For more information on Indian Motorcycles, dealerships, apparel, and accessories
