The 2021 Indian Chieftain Elite flaunts its premium two-tone Thunder Black Vivid Crystal over Carbon Crystal paint. The company says that each model undergoes a meticulous paint process that takes more than 24 hours to complete by hand. Also, the streamlined fairing and slammed saddlebags with sharp lines and hard edges give the bike a commanding road presence.
Powering the new Chieftain Elite is Indian Motorcycle’s most powerful air-cooled engine, the Thunderstroke 116. The 1890cc V-twin motor delivers class-leading performance with 171Nm of torque. It also has the Rear Cylinder Deactivation feature which improves rider comfort when traversing through slower traffic. The company has also included 3 riding modes - Tour, Standard, and Sport. Other standard features include:
- ABS
- Keyless ignition
- Tyre pressure monitoring
- Weatherproof and remote-locking saddlebags
Just like most of the other Indian Motorcycle bikes, the 2021 Indian Chieftain Elite also offers a host of optional accessories for customers to add a personal touch to their machines. For example, for touring and comfort, riders can select from a variety of handlebars and seats, including a Low Profile Quick Release Passenger Sissy Bar and Backrest Pad, as well as a colour-matched, remote-locking trunk and hard lower fairings with adjustable air vents.
