RAW. POWERFUL GENUINE
Blacked-out from end to end, the 2016 Indian Chief Dark Horse®
delivers pure, premium Indian Motorcycle performance.
Features May Include:
Blacked-Out Styling
It’s black from end to end, including the wheels, forks, handlebars, engine,
bodywork – even the Warbonnet up front. Thunder Stroke® 111
The proven, powerful Thunder Stroke® 111 engine serves up 119 ft-lbs
of torque, and is finished primarily in black. Keyless Ignition
Enjoy keyless starting that’s secure and convenient. With the Indian®
Chief Dark Horse® key fob in your pocket, climb on the bike, push a button
and ride. If you misplace the fob, use the individual security code that
you pre-programmed into the ignition. Abs & Cruise Control
This advanced, automotive-quality braking lets you ride with confidence and
helps you stop under control. Easy to set and adjust, the cruise control
enhances your enjoyment during highway cruising. True Dual Exhaust
The engine produces a rich exhaust note from the true dual exhaust.
The exhaust was acoustically engineered to eliminate high-pitched sounds,
so what you really hear is Indian Motorcycle® thunder. Badging
The fuel tank features distinctive monochrome Warbonnet graphics seen
only on the Indian® Chief Dark Horse®. Warbonnet
Lighting the way as it has done since 1947 is the iconic Warbonnet.
Mounted proudly atop the front fender in a blacked-out frame, this light
makes it clear, “This is a genuine Indian® motorcycle.”Valenced Fenders
Stylish, elegant and functional, the iconic valenced fenders, standard since
1940, enhance the flowing styling lines of every Indian® motorcycle. They
also provide protection, effectively blocking road spray and gravel kicked
up by the tires. Brake Caliper Covers
Every Indian® motorcycle is equipped with outstanding brakes, and in keeping
with our traditional styling, we choose to cover the calipers. The result
is a clean, stylish, beautifully finished sheet metal - iconic Indian®
motorcycle valenced fenders. Unpolished Style
The 2016 Indian Chief Dark Horse maintains the legendary Indian Chief styling,
while taking an unpolished and raw approach to its finish with blacked-out styling.
