Pros and Cons in comparison

Indian Challenger Dark Horse 2021

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Indian Roadmaster 2021

Those who are not put off by the 412 kilos ready to ride will be rewarded by the Indian Roadmaster's amazingly easy handling. The engine, which revs up confidently from the very bottom, and the transparent chassis make it easy for every rider to control the heavy bike. The braking system needs manual force, but it can be dosed well and the seating position is, as expected, designed not to squeeze anywhere, even over hundreds of kilometres. Apart from the lack of reverse gear (which many people don't need/want anyway), the Roadmaster is fully equipped - nothing is missing. You don't even have to do without an electric windshield!
