Roadmaster Elite - "Ultra Premium Touring Machine"

Indian Motorcycle has introduced a 2020 mid-cycle addition to its Big Twin line-up - a 225 production, limited edition return of the Roadmaster Elite - "offering classic styling, premium amenities and industry-leading technology." 



Powered by the Thunder Stroke 116 engine, the 2020 model "pairs modern touring amenities with iconic Indian Motorcycle styling - each and every Roadmaster Elite undergoes a meticulous paint process that takes more than 30 hours to complete and is finished by hand. The new Thunder Black Vivid Crystal over Gunmetal Flake paint with offset red pinstripes and exclusive red elite badging with matching pushrod tubes delivers a new, meaner and sportier look. The 19-inch precision- machined wheel under the valanced front fender adds to this look, while still maintaining a classic aesthetic." 


Reid Wilson, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle: "Designed specifically for riders who pay attention to each and every detail."

An upgraded 600 watt PowerBand Audio Plus system "means riders will be heard" (in the next county!) from "high-output fairing, trunk and saddlebag speakers that are 50 percent louder when compared to the stock audio system - it features an enhanced, noise compensating nine-band dynamic equalizer that auto-adjusts specific frequencies to the optimal level at different vehicle speeds."   
“The Roadmaster itself delivers the ultimate touring experience, but the Roadmaster Elite takes that experience to an even higher level, designed specifically for riders who pay attention to each and every detail,” said Reid Wilson, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. “Whether riding around town or across the country, the Roadmaster Elite is a statement maker – packed with all the modern touring amenities riders would ever need or want, with an aesthetic that is captivating.”
The Thunder Stroke 116 engine features a new high-flow cylinder head that delivers class-leading performance (126 ft-lbs of torque) and three selectable ride modes. Pricing starts at $38,999 in the U.S. and $46,999 in Canada.

Upgrades 

Optional extras for the Roadmaster Elite include a color-matched open front fender in Thunder Black Vivid Crystal over Gunmetal Flake for a more aggressive look and Stage 1 or 2 performance upgrades such as a Thunder Stroke performance air intake or high flow air intake; Stage 1 slip-on exhaust kit with choice of end caps and Stage 2 performance cams (+13% hp and +7% torque).
