Some are born with it. The tenacity to lead. For those individuals, there’s the Indian® Chieftain®. A menacing style with an open front fender that reveals a 19-inch, blacked-out front wheel. With a 100-watt premium audio system and industry-leading, seven-inch touchscreen display. At the heart of it all, the Thunder Stroke® 111 V-Twin engine. An award-winning powerplant that fuels the soul of both bike and rider.
- Thunder Stroke® 111: Designed from the ground up, the Thunder Stroke® 111 is a powerful, award-winning engine with legendary features inspired by the Power Plus motor of the 1940s: Multi-directional finned valve covers; Downward firing exhaust; Large, parallel push-rod tubes; Organic, asymmetric fin styling; Right-hand drive; Right-hand cam cover; Classic 2/3 head-to-cylinder neck down
- Hard Saddlebags: Your cargo is protected inside convenient, spacious hard saddlebags with weatherproof seals.
- Open Front Fender with 19″ Wheel: An open front fender exposes a 19″ blacked-out wheel and dual front brakes, giving the bike a custom-inspired look. The flared fender design also offers a subtle nod to Indian’s “open” fenders of the 1920s and 1930s.
- Outstanding Steering Geometry: The steering geometry of the Indian Chieftain was engineered to deliver light, responsive handling, whether ridden solo with no cargo or two-up with full saddlebags.
- ABS Brakes: With ABS brakes, you’ll ride with confidence, knowing you can brake under control in any situation.
- Push-Button Power Windshield: With a push of a handlebar-mounted button, this windshield can quickly raise or lower electronically. Lower it to enjoy the cooling airflow. Or raise it to block out wind and rain.
- 119 ft-lbs of Torque: The Thunder Stroke® 111 produces 119 ft-lbs of torque with extraordinary power at low RPM, so you can accelerate hard with power to spare in every gear.
- 6-Speed Transmission: A 6-speed transmission comes standard so you can easily tap the full potential of the Thunder Stroke® 111.
- Keyless Ignition: Never fumble for your key again. With the proximity fob in your pocket, just climb on, press the start button and ride away. Misplace your fob? Simply enter your personal security code and go.
- Premium 100-Watt Audio System: Built into the fairing is a 100-watt audio system, delivering premium-quality sound from dual high-output speakers. Smartphones and other audio sources can be connected via USB cable or Bluetooth®.

And thanks to split-screen technology, you can easily customize the display to focus on the details that matter to you most.
- Internally Wired Handlebars: This high-profile area features blacked-out hand controls. Plus, all of the wiring is routed inside the handlebars for a clean, premium-quality look.
