The new 2020 Indian Challenger combines classic Indian style with modern technology in a bid to redefine the American bagger. The new Challenger boasts Indian’s first liquid-cooled 108 cubic-inch V-twin, which delivers 122 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs of torque. For long haul performance, the new Challenger features a six-speed transmission with clutch assist and selectable ride modes with allow riders to select between Standard, Sport, and Rain modes.

The Indian Challenger delivers a new level of performance for riders who understand that the seemingly small details make a huge difference, our mindset was to leave no stone unturned and deliver a bagger that exceeds the standards in categories like power, handling, comfort, and technology.

With standard ABS, Brembo® brakes, lightweight cast-aluminum frame, and hydraulically adjustable FOX® rear shock the Challenger is not just a great looking bagger it also offers dynamic performance when the road gets twisty. Priced in line with other performance touring baggers like the BMW K 1600 B, the Indian Challenger offers premium content and technology while still retaining the classic Indian styling that made the original an American icon.
