The Indian Motorcycle Chieftain Limited provides premium finishes, modern technology, and overall highlights American craftsmanship. Standard features include Ride Command with Apple CarPlay® integration, selectable ride modes, rear cylinder deactivation, new Metzeler® Cruisetec® tires, ABS, cruise control, highway bars, remote-locking saddlebags, tire pressure monitoring and full LED lighting.

The Chieftain packs the high-displacement Thunderstroke motor with 171 Nm of torque, engineered to dominate the road. Saddlebags provide plenty of storage for riding gear and cargo, while wind protection, comfortable ergonomics, floorboards, amenities, and a comfortable two-up seat make these models the ultimate long-distance machines.

The Chieftain lineup, like all 2023 Thunderstroke and PowerPlus models, receives a new clutch – improving the overall feel and forgiveness. This new slipper clutch reduces engine drag which provides a smoother down shifting experience and comfortable ride while improving your ability to maintain traction when facing poor road conditions. Lastly, the larger friction zone and decreased lever effort reduces your clutch fatigue, which can be beneficial in urban areas or when riding in traffic.

For 2023, the Chieftain, Indian Challenger, Roadmaster and Indian Pursuit models also feature a redesigned LED headlight, which improves reach and spread of light — helping the rider see what lies ahead, while also improving their visibility to other motorists on the road.
