Indian
Chief
The Indian Chief mounts the Thunderstroke 111 V-twin — a 1,811cc air-cooled engine with an exceptionally smooth torque curve — in a modern chassis with keyless ignition, ride modes, and cruise control standard at under $15,000. Limited rear suspension travel produces a firm ride over rough pavement; this is a style-forward cruiser that prioritizes low-speed presence over all-day comfort.
