Brace for the 2025 Indian Chief Lineup
Indian Motorcycle, revered as America's First Motorcycle Company, has unveiled its thrilling 2025 Chief lineup, introducing two standout models: the
Sport Chief RT and the
Super Chief Dark Horse. Building on its legacy of iconic cruisers, the latest enhancements provide a potent combination of performance, style, and rider-focused features.
Breaking New Ground in Performance and Style
The
Sport Chief RT elevates the already popular Indian Sport Chief to extraordinary heights. With its unique custom-inspired enhancements, this motorcycle sets a new standard among performance cruisers. As Aaron Jax, the Vice President for Indian Motorcycle, aptly puts it, "When we launched Sport Chief, we raised the bar for performance cruisers." The Sport Chief RT is poised to redefine rider expectations with its blend of remarkable handling and striking aesthetics.
Custom Styling for Every Rider
The Sport Chief RT is engineered for modern bikers who cherish both functionality and style. One of its key features is the brand-new
Locking Rigid Saddlebags, designed to enhance both storage and visual appeal. These robust and weatherproof saddlebags can hold over 10 gallons, accommodating a complete riding outfit, including boots, pants, jackets, and gloves. The forward hinge design of the lids ensures easy access, making it a practical choice for all riding adventures.
Additionally, the
2-Up High Bolster Seat exemplifies comfort fused with style, featuring a sleek profile with a five-inch bolster for improved seating support. Coupled with machined risers and moto-style handlebars, the aesthetic is sportily refined, while the engineering ensures a comfortable ride with forward controls relaxing the rider's legs.
Advanced Audio Features
Among the highlights of the Sport Chief RT is the introduction of the
PowerBand Audio Bluetooth® Speaker, which seamlessly fits between the handlebar risers and the quarter fairing. This system comprises two mid-range speakers, a subwoofer, and supporting tweeters that collectively produce 90 watts of pristine audio, perfect for cruising at highway speeds. Riders can easily customize their sound settings using a five-band equalizer, all accessed from the 4-Inch Touchscreen Display powered by
RIDE COMMAND. This display not only adjusts audio but also offers features like navigation and ride information, ensuring riders are equipped for any journey.
Built for Performance
At its core, the Sport Chief RT is powered by Indian Motorcycle's renowned
Thunderstroke 116 V-twin engine, delivering an impressive 120 ft-lbs of torque, ensuring robust power on demand. Riders can select from three ride modes: Sport, Standard, and Tour, each designed to optimize the throttle response tailored to the rider's preference.
For superior handling, the bike is equipped with
KYB® inverted front forks, which provide enhanced stability and responsiveness. Additionally, the adjustable rear shocks by
FOX® enable riders to customize the ride for comfort, making each journey smoother and more enjoyable.
Accessories to Personalize Your Ride
Indian Motorcycle recognizes that customization is key for enthusiasts. The Sport Chief RT comes with the option of a
High Mounted Tee Bar, enhancing the custom edge while ensuring essential protection during slow-speed tip-overs. Riders can also elevate their bike’s ergonomics with optional handlebar risers or wind deflectors.
The 2025 lineup also features the
Super Chief Dark Horse, boasting an immaculate blacked-out aesthetic and powered by the same robust Thunderstroke 116 engine. Both the Sport and Super Chief models promise top-tier features, including ride modes, cruise control, and keyless ignition, all contributing to a superior riding experience.
