The 2021 Indian Springfield Dark Horse is Mysterious and Beautiful
Contents
This American-made beast is the jewel in the crown of the 2021 Indian line-up. It’s a big and bold cruiser that’s blacked-out to the max. As the name implies, it’s dark and mysterious, featuring a laid-back stance, slammed bags, mid-rise handlebars, and stunningly beautiful spoked wheels. This is the 2021 Indian Springfield Dark Horse.
Unlike the regular Springfield, the 2021 Springfield Dark Horse uses the company’s larger Thunderstroke 116 engine. This 1,890 cc V-twin unit produces a muscular 92 horsepower, and an impressive 126 lb-ft of torque, delivered to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox.
With all that power, it’s no wonder that the engineers at Indian Motorcycle have fitted the Springfield Dark Horse with plenty of top-shelf riding aids. These include ABS, three selectable riding modes (Tour, Sport, and Standard), cruise control, and rear cylinder deactivation technology.
If that wasn’t enough, the update Springfield Dark Horse also includes keyless ignition, remote locking hard luggage, a tire pressure monitoring system, and a USB charging port.
For 2021, the Springfield Dark Horse is available in Thunder Black Smoke, Sagebrush Smoke, or White Smoke color options. All options come with ABS as standard.
The 2021 Indian Springfield Dark Horse starts at $21,999 USD / $25,499 CAD.
