More details
Indian has revealed a total of 6 variants, 3 of which sit in the standard category namely the Chief, Chief Bobber and Super Chief. The remaining 3 variants namely the Chief Dark Horse, Chief Bobber Dark Horse and the Super Chief Limited occupy the premium category.
The design of the new line-up is quite minimal although very novel. The minimalist approach looks genuinely lovely on this beast. It sits on a new steel-tube frame with a cast-aluminium subframe. Indian parts ways with too much chrome on the bodywork in favour of a more easy-on-the-eye, subtle looking black which is a step-up.
The 2022 line-up features drag-bars and mid-mounted controls with a new fuel tank. The rear shocks are repositioned and the front houses 46mm standard forks. Additionally, it gets analogue gauge, cruise control and riding modes – tour, standard and sport, keyless ignition and optional ABS.
The standard versions of the line-up will be propelled by Indian’s Thunderstroke engine which a 1811cc, V-Twin engine that delivers 146Nm of peak torque, while the premium line-up will be powered by Indian’s Thunderstroke 116 engine which a 1890cc, V-Twin engine that produces a mammoth 167Nm of peak torque.
