Features

BLACKED-OUT BOBBER DESIGN

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.

LOW SOLO SEAT

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.

THUNDERSTROKE 116

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.

RIDE & OWNERSHIP ENHANCEMENTS

Design detail meets modern function on the Limited +Tech Trim with the 4" Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND. Experience effortless cruising with GPS navigation, Bluetooth® connection, and other ride-enhancing features.

RIDER CENTRIC FEATURES

Off the line, every Chief Bobber Dark Horse comes with keyless ignition, USB charging port, ride modes, ABS, LED lighting and Metzeler® Cruisetec® tires. These features provide convenience, safety, and performance, ensuring enjoyable rides for every rider.
