presentation of the 1811 CHIEFTAIN Elite 2017

The Chieftain has decided to raise its level of elegance. Imposing and majestic bagger, a choice alternative to the indestructible Harley Street Glide, this Indian leaves no one indifferent. And this special Elite series moves it into the premium + clan.

from the outset, it makes its mark. In addition to its true-to-America size, the Chieftain Elite impresses with its extensive paintwork. A desire to make the bike unique, as every step is carried out by hand - 25 hours of work for the decoration alone. A strong impression of quality emanates from the whole, while allowing the enormous Thunderstroke twin to shine through. The style and mechanics explode before the eyes, complementary and detached at the same time. Fans will appreciate it without restraint, and will judge the impertinence of the front end with sympathy or outrage.
As on the other special series, the Limited, this Chieftain abandons its typical front mudguard, covering the wheel as much as possible. Instead, a classic cap is fitted over the wheel, whose diameter is increased from 16 to 19 inches.

the Elite is also distinguished by a series of special parts, such as aluminum running boards, all-LED lightingand to make the most of the Ride Command entertainment system, the sound system has been upgraded to 200 watts.

Once underway, it's up to the big American twin to set the pace. The 1,811 cm3 engine, with its 13.7 mkg of torque, will carry the crew along with strength and nostalgia. On-board multimedia system with Bluetooth, cruise control, electric windscreen, keyless ignition, remote-locking saddlebags, tire pressure indicator and much more. At a price almost 5,000 euros higher than the standard Chieftain.
To ensure exclusivity, only 350 Elite models will be built. And just 5 are planned for France - to be precise, only current Indian owners will be able to order the Chieftain Elite.

elle a tout ce qu'un motard souhaite
French Model 2017
EXCELLENT machine, 2500km on the odometer in just 2 months. 150km/h top speed, but no, I'm up to 187km/h and it can still go higher. Conso coul 5.5 l/100 handle in the corner 7.2l/100 only defect its tires excellent on dry but on wet road it is necessary to play it very very cool. i've been driving a goldwing for 10 years, but the chieftain is way behind it. It's another dimension... Rating : 5/5
