Indian reveals new V-TWIN powered tourer: The Pursuit

Indian Motorcycle has just unveiled a new tourer with a liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine, a full suite of technology, a chassis-mounted fairing and loads of touring goodies. The Pursuit builds on the success of the Challenger, and uses the same 1768cc, liquid-cooled V-twin motor which kicks out 90kW (121 hp) and 178Nm (131 ft-lb) of torque. There’s also the capability to customise the bike’s throttle response to suit one’s riding style (or the road conditions) by selecting from three ride modes (Rain, Standard and Sport). It’s big on comfort, too. There’s a chassis-mounted fairing, an adjustable windscreen and some vented lower fairings, which all work to provide protection without compromising handling.

There’re integrated lights in the lower fairings, heated grips, and there’s even a new Heated Touring Comfort seat. And for lugging stuff about, there’s a trunk and saddlebags which offer a massive 133 litres of storage between them. There’s also a glove-friendly, seveninch touchscreen display which offers Apple CarPlay compatibility, along with GPS turn-by-turn navigation (and a few other clever features). The Pursuit comes equipped with an all-new electronically adjustable rear suspension set up from Fox, some race-spec radially-mounted Brembo brakes, Metzeler Cruisetec, and it also gets Indian’s Smart Lean Technology, which uses a Bosch IMU to offer cornering control using the dynamic traction control and ABS systems. As you’d expect, there’s also a massive range of additional kit available for the Indian Pursuit.

There’re two kit options for the Hard Lower Fairings, a set of Mitered Mid-Rise Handlebars, LED lighting options and various soft luggage pieces. There’s space for additional storage compartments or an Indian Motorcycle PowerBand Audio Kit. There are two different versions available. The Limited and the Dark Horse. The Limited Pursuit is available in Black Metallic and Alumina Jade, while the Indian Pursuit Dark Horse will be available in Black Smoke, Silver Quartz Smoke and Quartz Grey. The black version of the Limited is the cheapest, coming in at  27,695. The black version of the Dark Horse is  27,895, up to  28,195 for the silver or  28,995 for the grey. The Alumina Jade Limited is the priciest though, coming in at  29,095. No news on availability just yet.
