It starts with the all-new Indian PowerPlus engine, Indian’s first liquid-cooled large-displacement motor (1769cc / 108 cubic-inch, 60-degree V-twin) that packs a best-in-class 121 horsepower (90.1kW) and 178 Nm of torque. The new powertrain also features a six-speed transmission with true overdrive, assist clutch to reduce clutch effort, and hydraulic valve lash adjusters and camshaft chain tensioners for a low maintenance, reliable powerplant. The PowerPlus’s overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder deliver incredible V-twin performance and power.
Styling

With menacing LED running lights, a central headlamp, and a redesigned and modernized Indian Motorcycle headdress adorning its front fender, the Challenger presents an unmistakable profile day and night.
Handling

A modern and aggressively styled chassis-mounted fairing sits over the Challenger’s inverted front suspension. This, combined with the bike’s lightweight cast aluminium frame and hydraulically adjustable FOX® rear shock, delivers unrivalled handling and rock-solid stability.
Ride Command

The largest, most-customizable touchscreen infotainment system on two wheels, the Challenger’s seven-inch Ride Command system, with glove-touch technology, comes with two years of renewable connected services that feature weather and traffic overlays, turn-by-turn navigation, key vehicle information, Bluetooth® and USB mobile pairing, and an all-new quad-core processor for faster response.
Smart Lean Technology™

A true state-of-the-art bagger, the Challenger Limited and Challenger Dark Horse variants are equipped with Indian Motorcycle’s intuitive Smart Lean Technology, keeping riders confidently grounded by utilizing a Bosch IMU to add cornering pre-control to the dynamic traction control and ABS, as well as Drag Torque Control.
