    INDIAN MOTORCYCLE’S CHIEFTAIN LIMITED
    Indian’s new Chieftain Limited represents a bold evolution of the Chieftain line and paves the way for
    even more legendary rides.
    Indian Motorcycle’s designers have added just the right amount of style to give the Chieftain a sleeker
    look than ever before.

    As well as the Chieftain Limited, there is also a Chieftain Elite (a even more exclusive version with a
    special paint finish – announced in a separate press release).

    “Our goal was to evolve the award-winning Chieftain platform with new models that significantly
    elevate the bike’s style, while still staying true to the signature design qualities that Indian Motorcycle is
    known for,” said Peter Harvey, Indian Motorcycle Australia Country Manager. “There’s no doubt the
    Chieftain Limited has a commanding presence and signature details that make it 100 per cent Indian.”

    The main visual changes of the Chieftain Limited compared to a Chieftain include a sawn-off front fender
    and a new ten-spoke 19" front wheel and 16" rear wheel, which quickens up the handling. The front
    wheel has dual 300mm floating rotors with four piston calipers and an Indian logo embossed on it.
    There’s also a colour-matched headlight bezel and a more streamlined leather saddle to complete the
    sleeker look.

    Along with the Ride Command seven-inch infotainment system and the powerful Thunder Stroke 111
    engine, the Chieftain Limited has a keyless ignition, anti-lock brakes (ABS), a 100-watt audio system,
    chrome front highway bar, a power adjustable windshield, remote locking hard saddlebags and just
    enough chrome to highlight all that this bike has to offer.

    FEATURES ON CHIEFTAIN LIMITED

    OPEN FRONT FENDER
    The new sawn-off front fender gives the bike a more streamlined look. It also shows off new wheel and
    dual front brake rotors and caliper. It also offers a subtle nod to Indian’s ‘open’ fenders of the 1920s and
    1930s.

    10-SPOKE WHEELS
    The 19" beast of a front wheel features a 10-spoke design.

    CUSTOM STYLE PIECES
    The Chieftain Limited has subtle accents that collectively give the bike its sleeker style. Making the
    colour of the headlight bezel match the fairing is a simple change, but one that makes a big difference to
    the looks. The rider and passenger seats are also contrast-stitched to make it stand out.

    THUNDER STROKE 111 ENGINE
    Indian Motorcycle’s Thunder Stroke 111 V-Twin engine serves up a tasty 135Nm of torque so you can
    accelerate hard in every gear and have power to spare.

    RIDE COMMAND
    Pinch. Swipe. Tap. All without removing your gloves. Offering the industry’s largest, fastest, and most
    customizable infotainment system, the seven-inch Ride Command system allows you to get turn-by-turn
    directions, quickly navigate top points of interest, play Bluetooth audio, check vehicle information and
    status, plus a whole lot more via its easy to use interface. And thanks to split- screen technology, you
    can easily customize three rider screens to display the information that matters to you most.

    PREMIUM AUDIO
    Two speakers located in the fairing deliver 100-watts of power at crystal clear quality. Use Ride
    Command to switch between the AM/FM stereo, Bluetooth or USB input, giving three different ways to
    listen to music as your ride.

    KEYLESS IGNITION
    Put the Chieftain Limited key fob in your pocket then just climb on the bike, push the ignition button and
    ride. If you misplace or lose your fob, use can enter an individual security code pre-programmed into the
    ignition to start it up.

    STOPPING POWER WITH STYLE
    The front wheel is adorned with powerful, dual 300mm front rotors with 4-piston calipers. For a custom
    touch, the caliper housings feature the Indian Motorcycle script logo. The rear wheel features a single
    300mm floating rotor with 2-piston caliper to ensure that you can come to a halt quickly. An advanced
    anti-lock brake system (ABS) lets you ride with confidence and helps you stop with greater control.

    TOURING AMENITIES
    With a commanding power-windscreen and remote lockable hard saddlebags you’re ready to rack up
    the miles in style and comfort. A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and cruise control enhances
    your ride during highway cruising.

    EXHAUST
    The Thunder Stroke 111 engine produces a rich, deep exhaust rumble from the exhaust. Which was
    acoustically engineered to eliminate high-pitched sounds, so what you really hear is Indian Motorcycle
    thunder.

    ACCESSORIES FOR CHIEFTAIN LIMITED

    PERFORMANCE
    Add the following blacked-out accessories to unleash more power, improve throttle response and add a
    rich and throaty exhaust note – Stage 1 Exhaust, a Thunder Stroke High Flow Air Cleaner and Stage 2

    stage kits are not available in all markets. All riders must obey local laws).
