Indian Chief 2022 Price, Specifications And Features
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the iconic Indian Chief, Indian Motorcycle announced a large Chief lineup—six models in all. The past decade has seen brilliant innovations in style, performance, and technology from Indian Motorcycle, and nowhere was that more apparent than on the revamped Chief. The century-old model was refined into an artfully crafted cruiser that ditched the clutter but preserved the spirit of the original.
The latest Chief is powered by the brand’s air-cooled, 1,811cc Thunderstroke 111 V-twin engine that produces 108 lb-ft of torque. This bike is a badass—no surprise its release inspired custom celebrity bike builds, like Jon Bernthal’s “Trouble Maker” constructed by moto legend Carey Hart.
