• FREE REIN TO DOMINATE: Our blacked-out PowerPlus liquid-cooled engine is a fully-modern design and redefines American V-twin performance. Class-leading 128 ft-lb of torque and 122 hp dominate straight from the factory. Three ride modes provide unmatched acceleration and passing power with all the character you’d expect from a V-twin.
• CARVE CORNERS. ALL OF THEM: Inverted front suspension, lightweight cast-aluminum frame, and hydraulically adjustable Fox® rear shock deliver curve-hugging handling and unyielding stability.
• SUPREME TRACTION. SUPERIOR STOPPING POWER: Race-spec, radially-mounted Brembo® brakes provide superior stopping power, and performance touring Metzeler® Cruisetec® tires offer supreme traction.
• A COMMANDING PRESENCE FROM INDIAN MOTORCYCLE: Ride to the beat of your own drum on the Indian Challenger Dark Horse. A wicked bike with comfort and distinct blacked-out style that makes going further and longer an adventure like never before.
• LEAD THE WAY: Chassis mounted fairing for incredibly precise, stable handling also provides class-leading wind protection which means maximum comfort mile after mile.
• STYLE THAT STANDS ALONE: Aggressive fairing design with full LED lighting and menacingly styled running lights provide a signature face that leads the way in both style and function.
• COMMAND ATTENTION: Open fender with subtle flip and a modern take on the iconic lit headdress means no mistaking that Indian Challenger has arrived.
• ON THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY: Ride with supreme confidence on the Indian Challenger Dark Horse. It’s fully loaded with all the latest technology, so every ride is as comfortable as it is exhilarating.
• LEAN INTO EVERY RIDE: Smart Lean Technology™, keeps you confidently grounded and in command of the road with 6-axis Bosch IMU, Dynamic traction control, ABS with cornering control, and Drag Torque Control.
• MORE BEATS FOR THE STREETS: Go bigger with 6.5 in speakers that deliver 100-Watts of crystal-clear audio.
• MORE SCREEN. MORE CONTROL: RIDE COMMAND is the largest, most customizable system on two wheels, with Apple CarPlay® integration, turn-by-turn navigation with intuitive destination search capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, vehicle information, plus connected traffic and weather overlays to keep you on the road longer.

PowerPlus Features

• POWERPLUS: We have raised the bar for American motorcycles with our most powerful engine to date, the PowerPlus. The all-new 108 cu in, liquid-cooled V-twin engine delivers a class leading 122 hp and 128 ft-lbs of torque, establishing a new standard for V-twin performance.
• TESTED, REFINED, PROVEN: We put the PowerPlus through the industry's most rigorous development and testing program. We piled on almost one million miles of simulated testing, including state-of-the-art dyno testing and over 250,000 miles on the road.
• POWER YOU CAN DEPEND ON: The PowerPlus motor's overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder deliver incredible V-twin power. Hydraulic valve lash adjusters and hydraulic camshaft chain tensioners make it easy to maintain and reliable.
• ALL-NEW POWERTRAIN: Six-speed transmission with true overdrive, assist clutch to reduce effort and three ride modes - Rain, Standard and Sport. Now riders can customize throttle mappings and traction control settings to their riding preferences.

Smart Lean Technology

• SMART LEAN TECHNOLOGY™: Smart Lean Technology™ enhances the safety of the Anti-lock Braking and Traction Control systems by tuning the performance based on the vehicle lean-angle.
• 6-AXIS BOSCH INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT (IMU): Ride confidently on the Challenger thanks to its state-of-the-art technology. It features a Bosch 6-axis IMU, which measures vehicle acceleration in all directions to determine lean angle and pitch. This is used to tune traction control and ABS intervention.
• DYNAMIC TRACTION CONTROL WITH CORNERING CONTROL: Utilizing the on-board IMU and wheel speed sensors, this technology is designed to deliver maximum power to the road. In a straight line, the dynamic traction control monitors wheel slip and limits torque application to match allowable wheel spin in each ride mode. Cornering control will optimize torque delivery based on lean angle to improve bike stability while leaned, further enhancing the cornering safety and performance.
• ABS WITH CORNERING CONTROL: The anti-lock brake system is tuned for optimal straight-line performance, monitoring for wheel slip before relieving brake pressure. With Smart Lean Technology™ and the integrated IMU, ABS is tuned for optimal performance in turns, within physical limits. The ABS with cornering control will optimize brake pressure based on lean angle to improve bike stability while leaned, further enhancing the cornering safety and performance.
• DRAG TORQUE CONTROL: Drag Torque Control (DTC) reduces excessive rear-wheel slip when making a quick down-shift or decelerating rapidly. When DTC detects too much rear wheel slippage, it works by adjusting engine torque delivery, matching rear-wheel speed to road speed.

Standard Equipment

• Locking Hard Saddlebags: Brembo brakes; 18+ Gallons of storage; ABS: Keyless Ignition; Chassis Mounted Fairing; Adjustable Fairing Air Flow Vents; Power Windshield; Adjustable Air Vents; 12V Charging Port
