WHICH INDIAN MOTORCYCLES HAVE THE POWERPLUS ENGINE?
INDIAN CHALLENGER
INDIAN PURSUIT
We put the PowerPlus through the industry's most rigorous development and testing program. We piled on almost one million miles of simulated testing, including state-of-the-art dyno testing and over 250,000 miles on the road.
A nod to Indian Motorcycle’s iconic history, the PowerPlus motor is named after one of our original motorcycles, produced from 1916 to 1924. It dominated board track racing, and Burt Munro would achieve his famous speed record of 190.07 MPH in 1967 on a modified Scout with a 37-inch PowerPlus engine.
The PowerPlus motor's overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder deliver incredible V-twin power. Hydraulic valve lash adjusters and hydraulic camshaft chain tensioners make it easy to maintain and reliable.
The PowerPlus engine has not only pushed rider-focused handling to the forefront of its time but has also claimed multiple victories on the track with its high revving race inspired design, including the 2022 King of the Baggers Champion title.
