At the heart of both motorcycles beats the liquid-cooled PowerPlus 112V twin. From 1.768 cm³ it draws 126 PS and 184 Nm Torque, developed for the tough excavator racing scene and already championship winner in 2022 and 2024.
Thanks to four valves per cylinder, precise electronics and modern cooling, the engine delivers a consistent power curve while remaining pleasantly low in vibration and efficient.
Chassis, brakes, tires
Indian gives the Elite series an upside-down fork and an electronically adjustable rear shock. Together with Brembo brakes, combined braking system and ABS create a noticeably powerful braking pressure. Metzeler Cruisetec tires on lightweight 5-spoke aluminum rims transfer the power safely to the asphalt, while the adaptive LED light steers along curves and ensures clear visibility at night.
Electronics & Comfort
The cockpit is dominated by the 7-inch TFT display with Ride Command+It combines navigation (country-dependent), Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and telematics functions. New additions include Bike Hold Control for stress-free hill starts, Blind Spot Warning, Tailgate and Rear Collision Warning, and an electronic combined braking system.
Comfort features such as Keyless GoCruise control, heated grips and – on the Pursuit Elite – a heated seat make long journeys more relaxed, supported by an electrically adjustable windscreen with three riding modes.
Paintwork & Individuality
The Challenger Elite cites racing legend Gene “Alabama Flash” Walker with a striking triple paint job in Crystal White Pearl, Black Candy and Red Candy, refined with hand-painted lines and the Headdress logo.
The Pursuit Elite reminiscent of military bikes from 1916, combines Black Candy with Black Forest Candy and gold trim. Each model bears its own serial number, exclusive emblems, and engine cover with the PowerPlus logo – a true collector's item.
Limitation & Prices
From the Challenger Elite emerge 350 pc, of the Pursuit Elite only 250 pc worldwide. The pricing underlines the exclusive character: The Challenger starts at just under € 45.000, the Pursuit at around € 48.000 (plus approx. € 600 Logistics and ancillary costs).
