Powered by a blacked-out version of the Thunder Stroke 111 engine (1,811cc) and using the same chassis and suspension as the Indian Chieftain, the new Chieftain Dark Horse comes from the factory kitted out with a solo seat and short, tinted power windscreen. It also gets hard bags, ABS, electronic cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system, audio with AM/FM Bluetooth with smartphone compatible input and a remote key fob with keyless ignition.
Not only are the fenders, fairing, fuel tank and bags blacked out, the Indian Motorcycle headdress, forks, mirrors, handlebars and switch cubes, turn signals, tank console, engine and airbox cover, lower controls, floorboards and taillight housing also gets the full-black treatment.
