Custom-Inspired Styling
The Indian Challenger Elite has an eye-catching style thanks to its Sapphire Blue Smoke paint, 5-spoke precision cut front wheel, and color-matched Elite badging.
Powered By the Powerplus 108
The liquid-cooled 108-cubic-inch Power Plus engine is the beating heart of the Indian Challenger Elite. Incredible V-twin performance with unrivaled passing power is provided by 122 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs. Of torque, both classes are best.
Unsurpassed Handling
The rear suspension’s preload may be adjusted electronically, allowing you to find the ideal setting for your passengers and cargo. Innovative Lean Technology also employs a Bosch® Inertial Measurement Unit to fine-tune the vehicle’s ABS, torque, and traction control systems.
Take a Front Row Seat
Use a powerful stereo to drown out the sounds of the road and the engine. Powerband Audio is compatible with RIDE COMMAND and uses front-firing speakers and amplifiers to help create the tone for your ride.
Brighter, Bolder Lighting
At night, you can see further and turn heads with the help of the Pathfinder Adaptive LED headlamp and the Pathfinder S LED Driving Lights.
Remote-Locking Saddlebags
Saddlebags are large and waterproof, so your belongings are safe from rain or shine. To secure your goods, push a button on the control panel or remote.
