2016 Indian Chief Classic

Taking you back to the halcyon days of Indian, the Chief Classic is a naked cruiser with the styling cues you expect from the marque—fully finned top end, laced wheels, valanced fenders, leather seats, a front-fender mounted War Bonnet that lights up, and abundant chrome.

Nods to modern technology include ride-by-wire throttle (all wiring is inside the bars), ABS (with calipers hidden by the fenders), keyless ignition, digital (and analog) instrumentation, a cast aluminum frame, and cruise control. A 29-degree rake gives the Chief Classic a relaxed ride.
