“From factory-custom details to premium amenities, and advanced
ride-enhancing technology, we left no stone unturned when designing
our new Elite baggers,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President of Indian
Motorcycle. “Whether you prefer the liquid-cooled power and
performance of the Indian Challenger, or the more organic growl and
unmatched air-cooled power of the Chieftain, these two Elites
elevate both platforms with gorgeous custom-inspired design
elements straight from the factory.”
Indian Challenger Elite
With only 200 available worldwide, 2022 marks the debut for the
Indian Challenger Elite. Its muscle car-inspired styling turns
heads, while class-leading performance provides unmatched passing
power. Premium amenities and advanced ride-enhancing technology
combine for a comfortable ride – whether cruising city streets or
touring backroads.
Muscle Car-Inspired
Styling
The Challenger Elite’s Stealth Gray and Black
Metallic paint with Indy Red accents screams American muscle. A red
stitched seat and color-matched Elite badging complete the bike’s
performance-inspired design.
Class-Leading
Performance
At the heart of the Indian Challenger Elite
is the liquid-cooled, 108 cubic-inch PowerPlus engine. With
best-in-class 122 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs. of torque, the Indian
Challenger Elite delivers incredible V-twin performance with
unmatched passing power.
With three ride modes, riders can customize
the bike’s throttle mapping by selecting from Rain, Standard or
Sport mode – resulting in one motorcycle with three distinct
performance personalities. Each ride mode has been engineered with
its own distinct traction control setting to align with each mode’s
specific throttle mapping.
Premium Amenities &
Ride-Enhancing Technology
With loads of premium amenities and advanced
ride-enhancing technology, riders will have no problems traversing
hundreds of miles a day. Electronically adjustable rear suspension
preload from Fox® allows riders to conveniently dial in their bike
to account for extra cargo or two-up riding, while intuitive Smart
Lean Technology keeps riders confidently grounded. Back lit switch
cubes improve the rider’s ability to see the bike’s controls at
night, while an adaptive LED Headlight, along with LED driving
lights, deliver superior illumination, as the adaptive headlight
adjusts light spread based on the bike’s lean angle. An adjustable
flare windscreen, select floorboards, and heated grips contribute
to a comfortable ride experience.
In addition, an upgraded and fully integrated
400-watt PowerBand audio system, including saddlebag speakers,
produce crystal-clear sound quality at any speed. The bike’s
industry-leading seven-inch touchscreen display powered by RIDE
COMMAND offers Apple CarPlay®, GPS with turn-by-turn navigation and
a complementary year of RIDE COMMAND+ connected features, which
includes live traffic and weather overlays, and a vehicle locator
feature that allows riders to track their bike’s last location
where it was powered on. Standard features aboard the Indian
Challenger Elite include, ABS, keyless ignition, tire pressure
monitoring, as well as weatherproof and remote-locking saddlebags
with more than 18 gallons of storage.
Chieftain Elite
Designed for discerning riders who demand the best of the best,
the 2022 Chieftain Elite combines a sophisticated design with
custom-inspired details straight from the factory. With only 150
globally available, the Chieftain Elite is highly exclusive.
Custom-Inspired
Style
It’s all in the details, as the Chieftain
Elite’s eye-catching Heavy Metal Smoke paint is complemented by
premium bronze finishes, including the tank’s Indian Motorcycle
headdress, saddlebag latches, center console, primary cover and
airbox. Oil-rubbed bronze finishes across the engine’s push rod
tubes, horn cover, and cam cover take the Chieftain Elite’s style
to an entirely new level straight from the factory.
The Chieftain Elite’s streamlined fairing,
slammed saddlebags with sharp lines and hard edges contribute to
the bike’s aggressive demeanor. In addition, LED saddlebag lights,
a two-up comfort seat, low suspension, precision machined wheels,
and premium blacked-out finishes complete the Chieftain Elite’s
head-turning style.
Unmatched, Air-Cooled
Performance
Packing the most powerful Indian Motorcycle
air-cooled engine, the Thunderstroke 116, the Chieftain Elite
delivers class-leading performance with 126 ft-lbs of torque. Rear
cylinder deactivation improves rider comfort when riding through
slower traffic, while three selectable ride modes, including Tour,
Standard and Sport, allow riders to adjust the bike’s throttle
response to match their riding style.
Premium Amenities &
Ride-Enhancing Technology
As standard equipment, the 2022 Chieftain
Elite packs premium amenities, including an Adaptive Pathfinder LED
headlight, an adjustable and tinted flare windscreen, spacious
aluminum select floorboards, rear saddlebag LED lights, backlit
switch cubes, and an integrated 400-watt PowerBand audio system.
Like the Indian Challenger Elite, the Chieftain Elite features the
seven-inch touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND with Apple
CarPlay®, GPS with navigation, and RIDE COMMAND+ features, like
live traffic and weather overlays, and a vehicle locator feature.
Standard features include, ABS, keyless ignition, tire pressure
monitoring, as well as weatherproof and remote-locking saddlebags
with more than 18 gallons of storage.
Riders looking to personalize their Indian Challenger Elite or
Chieftain Elite can do so with a variety of style, comfort and
touring accessory upgrades. Indian Challenger Elite riders can add
even more custom style to the rear with Pathfinder LED Saddlebag
Lights, while Chieftain Elite riders can add even more lighting
up-front with Pathfinder S LED Driving Lights. Elite riders can
also take their comfort to the next level with the ClimaCommand
Heated and Cooled two-up seat that features individual controls for
rider and passenger. Riders of either model can enjoy longer rides
with the versatile Spirit Lake Luggage Collection, color-matched
Hard Lower Fairings, a color-matched Trunk and up to 800 watts of
PowerBand audio.
Pricing for the Indian Challenger Elite starts at $34,999, while
the Chieftain Elite begins at $32,999. Both models will begin
shipping to dealers this month.
