Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, is adding an “understated” new machine to its line-up — the Indian Chief Dark Horse.
On sale here in June, the Indian Chief Dark Horse is a cruiser “understated with only a flash of chrome and a healthy dose of matt black paint, to create one of the most confident silhouettes on the market,” the company says.
“By all but eliminating chrome from the motorcycle and swapping to cast wheels, the Dark Horse conveys an aggressive pose, and being the lightest in the series, is the quickest model in the Chief family.”
Striking an ideal balance of attitude and features, the Indian Chief Dark Horse delivers the style, quality and power expected from an Indian Motorcycle, and.
The company says the Dark Horse conveys a bold attitude that demands attention.
Blacked-out from end to end, the Dark Horse is powered by the maker’s Thunder Stroke 111 engine and has the same chassis and suspension as the Indian Chief Classic. It has ABS brakes, keyless ignition and electronic cruise control.
“Built to be an aggressive solo ride, the Dark Horse has been stripped down, doing away with the analogue fuel gauge and auxiliary driving lights of Chief Classic. A passenger seat plus either passenger foot-pegs or floor boards are available.
“The Indian Chief Dark Horse is an ideal motorcycle for those seeking to customise their rides,” the maker says. And riders can add components to “black out their ride even more,” with ape hanger handlebars, high flow air cleaners, fender struts, slip-on exhaust with black heat shields and exhaust tips, and black fender trim.
