Introducing the Indian Chieftain Dark Horse, a pure "black-out" Bagger that offers riders the ease of customization and all the driving pleasure and performance of Indian. A bagger with intrinsic charisma, the Chieftain Dark Horse is clad in matte black with a shimmer of chrome and a wealth of features never before seen on an American "bad-ass" V-Twin.
powered by a black version of the Thunder Stroke 111 engine and built on the same chassis and suspension as the Chieftain, the Dark Horse comes standard with a solo saddle, a tinted electric windscreenlockable hard saddlebags, ABS, electronic cruise control, tire pressure monitoring system, AM/FM premium audio system, Bluetooth, smartphone connection and keyless ignition. 2017 saw the introduction of Indian's'Ride Command' multimedia package; for 2018, the Dark Horse receives it as standard. The 19-inch wheel and lightened front mudguard are also standard features.
all the essential attributes of the Dark Horse family are present. The matte-black fairing, tank and saddlebags magnify the iconic Indian Motorcycle cap. The fork, mirrors, grips, switches, indicators, console, engine, airbox cover, pedals, footrests and taillight surround are also blackened.
Of course, Indian Motorcycle offers a wide choice of authentic accessories to further personalize your future rides, including the new "Black-out": air filter, high-performance camshaft, as well as a 100-watt audio system to be integrated into the saddlebag covers.
