KING OF THE BAGGERS

Indian Motorcycle's legendary Wrecking Crew takes on the competition in the thrilling King of the Baggers series, where heavily modified bagger motorcycles race head-to-head. Join us as we chase another championship and continue our storied legacy in motorcycle racing.

RETURN OF THE WRECKING CREW

The Indian Motorcycle “Wrecking Crew” is a legendary part of American motorcycle history, renowned for its dominance in the 1950s. Today, we are embarking on a new bagger-racing chapter by expanding the S&S® Cycle factory team and continuing the historic legacy of the Wrecking Crew.

 

Racing on the Indian Challenger, powered by the liquid-cooled PowerPlus motor, Indian Motorcycle has become the first brand to win three King of the Baggers championships and is now the first to field a three-rider factory team.
