2025 UPDATES
In addition to new models, Indian Motorcycle has announced a host of new updates across its 2025 Thunderstroke lineup.

ROADMASTER
New 2025 Roadmaster models have been upgraded from a standard heated seat to Indian Motorcycle’s innovative Heated and Cooled seat – improving comfort in all weather conditions.

PAINT
The 2025 Indian Motorcycle Thunderstroke lineup, including the Springfield, Chieftain and Roadmaster families, will introduce seven new paint color offerings, allowing riders a variety of options to meet their personal style preference.

EXCLUSIVE STYLING

Between 1914-1918, Indian Motorcycle Company founder George Hendee had expanded Indian Motorcycle’s production facilities in Springfield, creating the most modern motorcycle manufacturing facility in the world. Skilled craftsmen hand assembled each bike with painstaking attention to detail. In addition to the famous Indian Motorcycle Red paint which debuted in 1904, Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue was the other iconic brand color of this era.

Honoring that past, the new Roadmaster Elite wears a tri-tone signature paint scheme, with premium candy finishes throughout. Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue Candy, Black Candy, and Black Candy fade over a Silver base coat are complemented by Champion Gold outlined Headdress tank logos. The striking paint package is completed with signature Elite graphics and hand-painted gold pinstripes. Premium chrome-plated finishes glisten front to back and elevate classic craftsmanship to the highest level. To top off the custom touches, each Roadmaster Elite features serialized and individually numbered Elite badging, further signifying the bike’s exclusivity.

RIDER-CENTRIC TECHNOLOGY

Matching the Roadmaster Elite’s premium styling is high-end, rider-centric technology. Standard on Roadmaster Elite is Indian Motorcycle’s PowerBand Audio with Bass Boost. Twelve speakers located in the front fairing, saddlebags, and tour trunk deliver even more bass than the Roadmaster’s stock sound system. Each speaker’s UnderGlow lighting delivers stand-out, custom-inspired styling. To operate the PowerBand Audio system, riders will enjoy a 7-inch Touchscreen Display by RIDE COMMAND. Through this infotainment system, riders have Bluetooth® connectivity, access to GPS navigation, ride stats, and RIDE COMMAND+, including Bike Locator, Bike Health, Apple CarPlay® and more.

Powering the Roadmaster Elite is Indian Motorcycle’s air-cooled, V-twin Thunderstroke 116 engine – delivering 126 ft-lbs of torque with plenty of passing power in every gear. Three ride modes (Tour, Standard and Sport) allow riders to personalize their ride by adjusting the throttle response to suit their preference.

Improving nighttime visibility and adding even more eye-catching style at night is the Indian Motorcycle Adaptive LED Headlight. The Adaptive LED Headlight provides even more illumination than stock headlights, as patented, cutting-edge technology optimizes the rider’s visibility by monitoring the bike’s lean angle to optimize illumination of the road ahead.

 

LUXURY COMFORT

Whether a day ride or a weekend getaway crushing long highway miles, Indian Motorcycle designed the 2025 Roadmaster Elite with unrivaled luxury and comfort. The bike’s 2-up Heated and Cooled seat delivers unparalleled comfort for both rider and passenger, as a graphene material optimizes heating or cooling distribution while maintaining superior comfort. Spacious floorboards and passenger armrests are also standard on the 2025
Roadmaster Elite.

Adding custom-inspired styling and delivering luxury comfort is an adjustable Flare™ Windshield. A handlebar-mounted switch will raise or lower the windshield by four inches – allowing riders to select their preferred windshield height for more or less wind on the face and helmet.

Finally, the 2025 Roadmaster Elite features remote-locking saddlebags and a tour trunk. Riders can simply press a button on the console or key fob, and cargo is stowed away safely.
