The bagger reaches a new dimension with the Indian Challenger. Its name is apt, for this machine is a real challenge, a stone thrown into the face of American culture. It's big, it's massive, it's a huge twin, it's got a mug that could crush your own on the sidewalk... but what a twist on the holy air-cooled (or mostly air-cooled) Big Block. In the Challenger, it's a large-displacement twin with effluvia evacuated by water. Crack your boots and strap on your kneecaps - there's plenty of power in this Indian.

In the tavern where the Harley Road Glides meet, the Challenger slams its wheel into the counter. It looks at them, provokes them, and flicks its handlebars to either side. Unlike the brand's other baggers, such as the Chieftain, its head doesn't turn. It's mounted on the aluminum frame, not the handlebars. Exactly the same feature that distinguishes the Street and Electra Glide from the Road Glide from the Milwaukee-based competitor: lighter steering.

One of them attempts a cross-eye. The Indian is proud of its heavy, tortured, unusual look. The central window is completed by a protean casing. Two side blocks with a striking LED signature act as lighting lieutenants. Is it beautiful? No, it's obvious, striking, cheeky and confrontational! In short, it provokes the competition and makes people sit up and take notice. By the way, did you notice the new-look Sioux head on the front mudguard?

The innkeeper smelled the brimstone all the way to the end of the rims:"Go explain yourself outside!!!". The foreigner had been waiting for this. To Harley's Milwaukee 8, Indian responds with a new, high-caliber PowerPlus 108 ci. Based on the Scout's 1133, this engine cubes 1769 cm3, has 4 valves and 1 ACT per cylinder. Although less paunchy than the air-cooled Thunderstroke, it's sure to assert itself with a level of ardor that's a cut above the rest. Capable of more revs, it boasts exceptional power figures for an American engine. at 122 hp, it's an abyss compared to the Chief, Chieftain, Springfield and Roadmaster. With its smaller cubic capacity, you'd think it'd give up torque. Do you think.... this block sends out more than 18 mkg. On the other hand, this maximum value is located higher up the rev range - 900 rpm higher than with the ThunderStroke 1901.

Indian 1770 Challenger Limitedas for the chassis, the Challenger makes a strong impression. At the end of the 43 mm inverted fork are radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers, reference M4.32. Doesn't tell you much..... Let's simplify things by pointing out that the Ducati Panigale V2 is equipped with the same jaws.
When it comes to electronics, it's open-bar. The Challenger boasts three riding modes (Standard - Sport - Rain), traction control, cruise control, IMU inertial unit, keyless ignition, tire pressure monitoring, cornering ABS, Ride Command infotainment system with 7-inch screen / radio / GPS / Apple CarPlay and all the rest, USB port and Bluetooth pairing. For comfort, the saddle has a long-travel character, the panniers can hold 68 liters, the windshield is electrically adjustable and the air vents are adjustable.

New accessories include a ClimaCommand saddle for hot and cold comfort, improved audio system, Pathfinder S adaptive headlamp, 64-liter trunk, multiple windscreens, sissy bars, etc.

Up close and personal, the Challenger looks strong. And heavy. This bagger scares both the scales and other machines in the segment. 365 kilos of metal from Illinois. As heavy as any good American motorcycle. Fortunately, there are some serious mkgs to take it all away. But how far? That's your challenge.

The Challenger is also available in a darker Dark Horse version, differentiated mainly by its color scheme, a choice of black parts and the absence of protective bars.

De la bombe…
French Patbal Model 2020
This challenger works really well, and it's so comfortable! As for power...what can I say! I went wow with every acceleration
In standard mode, yes, because you can leave it in standard or rain...or sport mode, you're super well protected by the bubble, the tablet is more than a toy, and you can transfer your phone files with Apple play from 2020
The carrying capacity is quite comfortable, and the noise isn't too bad, even though I own jekils. In short, it's a nice toy for those who have €30,000 to spend on a bagger
The only regret is that the heated grips, heated seat and rear luggage lock are not standard on mine... for 30000€, it's a real hole in the wall... and it's a "small win..." but once you're on it, it's quickly forgotten!
Rating : 5/5
