Indian Challenger Elite and Indian Pursuit Elite 2025

At the heart of both models lies the liquid-cooled PowerPlus 112 V-Twin engine, delivering 126 horsepower and a peak torque of 184 Nm. Originally engineered for the rigors of bagger racing, this engine has already proven its mettle with multiple titles, including in 2022 and 2024. The blend of high revving capability, four valves per cylinder, and advanced cooling ensures a smooth power delivery coupled with high efficiency.

Both the Challenger Elite and Pursuit Elite are equipped with advanced suspension featuring electronically adjustable rear shocks, upside-down forks, and premium Brembo brakes with a combined braking system (EBS) and ABS. Standard features also include Metzeler Cruisetec tires and 5-spoke alloy wheels. An adaptive LED lighting system, three selectable riding modes, and an electrically adjustable windshield enhance safety and comfort for both short and long rides. Additional comfort features include heated grips, a heated seat (on the Pursuit Elite), Keyless-Go, cruise control, and USB charging ports.

The Indian Challenger Elite draws inspiration from Gene "Alabama Flash" Walker and showcases a striking triple-color paint scheme in Crystal White Pearl, Black Candy, and Red Candy, enhanced with hand-painted details and a Headdress logo.

The Indian Pursuit Elite pays homage to the legacy of the PowerPlus machines used by the US military in 1916. It combines Black Candy and Black Forest Candy with hand-painted gold accents. Both models feature individual serial numbers and come with specially designed emblems and engine covers adorned with the PowerPlus insignia.

The central control hub of both bikes is the 7-inch TFT display with RIDE COMMAND+, which includes Bluetooth, navigation (country-dependent), Apple CarPlay, and telematics features, along with new rider-assist technologies:

• Bike Hold Control: Automatic brake force support on inclines.
• Electronic Combined Braking System (EBS): Optimized brake distribution.
• Blind Spot Warning: Blind spot alerts via display and mirror indicators.
• Tailgate & Rear Collision Warning: Warning systems for tailgating or potential rear-end collisions.
