2020 Indian Chieftain

The 2020 Chieftain is Indian’s answer to the rider that wants classic bagger looks mixed with the technology and features of a distance tourer. Power is delivered either by a Thunder Stroke 111 or Thunder Stroke 116 engine, with 119 or 126 lbs-ft of torque respectively.

The Chieftain features a rogue-style two-up seat that gives both rider and passenger a comfortable ride. Standard equipment for the Chieftain includes cruise control, ABS, and Indian’s Ride Command 7 inch glove compatible infotainment system, which can link to a smartphone via bluetooth and play your music through a 100 Watt fairing-mounted speaker system.

As well, a power windscreen allows you to have the best of both worlds. With the windshield down, feel the air on your face as you ride. With it up, enjoy a long ride shielded and comfortable.

The Chieftain comes in Thunder Black for the Thunder Stroke 111 option, and Titanium Smoke for the Thunder Stroke 116 option.

The 2020 Chieftain starts at $21,999 US/$26,999 CDN.
