      New Indian Chief Bobber
      New Indian Chief motorcycles are offered with common features such as an LED headlamp, LED taillight, a USB port, and keyless ignition as standard

      Exactly a century back Indian Motorcycles rolled out its premiere Chief line of motorcycles. To mark the centenary of the iconic bobbers, the American bikemaker has revealed the updated Chief range of motorcycles. The new lineup of Chief bikes will consist of three models- Chief Dark Horse, Chief Bobber Dark Horse and Super Chief Limited with different variants in each of them.
      All three models are based on the same platform which utilises a steel-tube frame although all three present a different exterior appeal. Another major commonality is their similar powertrain setup which uses a Euro-5 compliant 1890cc V-Twin Thunderstroke 116 engine which kicks out a torque of 162 Nm.
      In terms of features, all three motorcycles are equipped with the brand’s Ride Command system. This system provides riders turn-by-turn navigation and allows them to toggle and access their motorcycle’s ride information along and also connect their smartphone to the bike’s instrument console and access media functions.
      While Chief Dark Horse and Chief Bobber Dark Horse adopt a blacked-out theme with gloss finished panels, Super Chief Limited comes with elements laced in chrome. Another point of difference is that the former two come with a single-piece seat as standard, while the latter comes with a pillion seat as well.
      New Indian Chief Dark Horse

It rides on 19-inch front and 16-inch rear cast alloy wheels along with a solo bobber seat.
