Chieftain

Drawing external design inspiration from the rich heritage of Indian Motorcycle’s past, the air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 produces 126 ft-lbs of raw torque for passing power in all 6 gears. 

Premium black or chrome finishes, a sleek fairing, saddlebags, and gunfighter style seat deliver a streamlined, commanding presence. A lowered stance and LED lighting from nose to tail complete the custom-inspired look.

Hear every note with high-output speakers that deliver up to 400 watts of crystal-clear audio—200 watts of PowerBand Audio integrated into the fairing and another 200 watts from the saddlebags. The dynamic equalizer automatically adjusts for road, wind, and engine noise so you never miss a beat.​

Low seat height, ergonomically-designed controls, and a lightweight cast aluminum frame come together for responsive handling and agile cornering - providing a confidence inspiring ride for riders across the board. 

Choose between three ride modes, Tour, Standard, or Sport, for an experience that's customized to your riding style. Rear Cylinder Deactivation automatically shuts off the rear cylinder when the bike is stopped for enhanced comfort in slow-moving traffic. 

With the push of a handlebar-mounted button, this windshield will raise or lower to your preferred position for optimal airflow whether on highways or backroads.

The Chieftain models come standard with LED Lighting, keyless ignition, cruise control, power-locking saddlebags, ABS, and tire pressure monitoring. Providing convenience, safety, and performance while ensuring enjoyable rides for every rider.

Keep your cargo protected from the elements with 18+ gallons of weatherproof storage in power-locking saddlebags.

Integrated into the dash, the 7" Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND, offers GPS navigation, Apple CarPlay^®, Bluetooth^® connection, and other ride-enhancing features for effortless cruising. Go beyond the ride and elevate ownership with RIDE COMMAND+ connected technology with features like Account Sync and more.
