PERFORMANCE
The PowerPlus engine represents the future of American V-Twin performance, engineered with an innovative cooling system to deliver consistent power in all conditions. At the heart of each Elite model is the PowerPlus 112 – taking bagger and touring performance to an entirely new level and unleashing 126 horsepower and 133 ft-lbs of torque. The contemporary design of the PowerPlus, a high revving engine with overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder, delivers both high horsepower and high torque. This unique combination delivers an unmatched ride without sacrifices – optimizing acceleration across the rev range for passing power in every gear.
Prior to its launch earlier this year, the PowerPlus 112 was tested and refined in the most demanding environment – bagger racing. Powering the Indian Motorcycle King of the Baggers factory race team since 2021, the PowerPlus 112 helped deliver championships in 2022 and 2024.
PREMIUM COMPONENTRY
The ultimate in style and exclusivity requires state-of-the-art componentry. Each bike's frame geometry and stiffness are designed to maximize power with nimble and precise handling. Inverted performance forks and dual radial Brembo® brakes are prominently visible and designed to turn power into great handling and confident stopping.
5-spoke precision machined wheels on Indian Pursuit Elite and Indian Challenger Elite create a striking stance, while Metzeler® Cruisetec® tires offer confident control. Each bike is standard with top-of-the-line components, including a Pathfinder Adaptive LED Headlight, Driving Lights, and Pathfinder Auxiliary LED Saddlebag Lights, for enhanced visibility and eye-catching style. Three ride modes allow riders to customize their throttle response and dial-in their ride experience, while cylinder deactivation enhances comfort when stopped at idle.
To better manage airflow for increased cockpit comfort, an adjustable Flare® Windshield on Indian Challenger Elite and adjustable windshield on Indian Pursuit Elite can be controlled via the push of a handlebar-mounted button. Select Headdress Driver and Passenger Headdress floorboards add to each bike's sleek style and provide extra foot room. Keyless ignition and remote locking storage add extra security and convenience. Completing the package is cruise control and USB charging – providing modern functionality.
Indian Pursuit Elite offers a green color-matched, stitched Heated Seat and Heated Grips with backlit switch cubes for additional comfort regardless of temperature.
Premium audio is a key element of the ultimate bagger and touring experience and the Indian Challenger Elite and Indian Pursuit Elite deliver with PowerBand Audio. Featuring Bass Boost and four 100-watt speakers on Indian Challenger Elite and six 100-watt speakers on Indian Pursuit Elite, the system provides crystal-clear sound. A nine-band dynamic equalizer adjusts automatically for road, wind and engine noise, ensuring an immersive listening experience without missing a beat. The speakers are enhanced with UnderGlow white LED lighting and a sleek, chiseled design, offering a modern look to complement the powerful audio. Seamlessly integrated into the RIDE COMMAND menu, the system ensures an intuitive and effortless user experience.
