As the battle for who has the baddest, darkest bikers and the biggest, bestest legends hots up, "raw and powerful, Indian’s newest bagger beckons riders to ‘Be Legendary’ on the darker side of the street" is how Indian Motorcycle introduces its latest mid-cycle new model.
The Indian Chieftain Dark Horse is a "blacked-out hard bagger that allows riders to easily customize their ride and hit the highway in head-turning style," according to the company.
"A bagger with undeniable presence, the 2016 Chieftain Dark Horse offers a ton of matt black, a flicker of chrome, and a wealth of features to roll as one of the most bad-ass American-made V-twin touring bikes on the market. By all but eliminating chrome from the motorcycle, the Dark Horse conveys an aggressive attitude that demands attention for all the right reasons."
Powered by the celebrated Thunder Stroke 111 engine and built on the same chassis and suspension as the Indian Chieftain, the "edgy" new Chieftain Dark Horse comes from the factory outfitted with a solo seat and short, tinted power windscreen, "yet maintains its spacious hard bags, ABS, electronic cruise control, integrated premium audio system and remote key fob with keyless ignition.
"To amplify the Dark Horse family attributes, not only are the fenders, fairing, fuel tank and bags blacked out, the iconic Indian Motorcycle headdress, forks, mirrors, handlebars and switch cubes, turn signals, tank console, engine and airbox cover, lower controls, floorboards and taillight housing are also blacked out."
Indian is also offering a selection of factory accessories, including new Blackout series accessory air cleaners, performance cams, slip-on exhausts and 100-watt saddlebag lid speakers.
"The Indian Chieftain Dark Horse’s blacked-out styling and powerful Thunder Stroke 111 engine will elevate our rider to the top of the pack," says Indian Motorcycle Marketing Director Reid Wilson. "Starting with the award-winning Chieftain platform, the Dark Horse series signature matt black paint and raw attitude is an open canvas for customization that makes it the perfect bike for riders who are ready to ‘Be Legendary’."
The 2016 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse comes with a two-year unlimited mileage factory warranty and starts at $21,999.
