Drawing external design inspiration from the rich heritage of Indian Motorcycle’s past, the air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 produces 156 Nm of raw torque for passing power in all 6 gears.
Loaded with attitude and blacked-out premium gloss black finishes with bobbed fenders. A welded steel tube frame, large headlight bucket with nacelle, and covered forks and rear shocks give a nod to traditional bobber style and deliver a visually striking experience.
Design detail meets modern function with the industry-leading 4" Display powered by RIDE COMMAND. Unlock GPS navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, ride stats and more to elevate your riding experience. Even better, unlock pre-installed RIDE COMMAND+ that offers Bike Locator, Bike Health and more so you can stay connected and informed (features and connectivity vary by location).
A low solo seat gives you a commanding feel, while the forward pegs and mini ape bars put your feet forward and your fists in the wind, offering you an authoritative riding position.
Off the line, every Chief Bobber Dark Horse comes with keyless ignition, USB charging port, ride modes, ABS, LED lighting and Metzeler Cruisetec tyres. These features provide convenience, safety, and performance, ensuring enjoyable rides for every rider.
Customise your riding experience with three ride modes - Tour, Standard, or Sport - for an experience that's tailored to your riding style.
