presentation of the 1890 Chieftain Limited 2020

You don't ride, cruise or travel with an Indian Chieftain Limited - it's a vehicle of all-American nobility. In this latest dress, she gains a surprising dynamism. We've become so accustomed to its curves, its skirts, its history... that seeing it retouched brings a touch of acidity that erases its nostalgic side.
Illustrating the premium nature of the range, the Limited rightly benefited from the 2019 improvements. They will mark the engine's evolution in a very special way, in addition to further enhancing its equipment.

the twin Thunderstroke had had the good fortune of a spectacular power increase in 2018, allowing it to more proudly display 84 horsepower against the hearty Milwaukee Eight. Indian is pushing the envelope with the introduction of three riding modes - Tour, Standard, Sport - and a deactivation of the rear cylinder to limit heat diffusion when stationary. In 2020, the engine is revitalized, with displacement increased to 1,890 cm3, watts approaching 90 hp, torque up to 17.1 mkg, new cylinder heads and more compression in the cylinders.
The sound system will delight heavy riders. The 100 watts of audio are managed by an equalizer that adapts to external conditions to best compensate for outside noise and deliver good sound whatever the speed.

Indian 1890 Chieftain Limited 2020next up is the Thunderstoke 116 twin. An ode to metal and American power, this huge block pulses to the rhythm of its 945 cm3 bowls... each. A little zest on the right-hand throttle is all that's needed to get it under 2,000 rpm, and let it express its torque full of bits of America. The power delivery is everywhere, like a steel-hardened buffalo.
More upmarket, the Limited is distinguished from the standard Chieftain by the addition of numerous chrome parts, wheels with machined spokes, and more enhanced paintwork. It was most famous when it was first released, when it introduced a large 19" wheel and a more conventional front mudguard, making it(along with the Elite) a model in a class of its own. Since then, most models equipped with the big twin have adopted this front end.
But the Indian Chieftain Limited isn't just a muscular, dark and classy bagger. It's also a road-going machine, with Ride Command infotainment system(upgraded in 2020), keyless ignition, electrically adjustable windscreen and cruise control.... all of which will soon be of little interest once this vibrant liner is out on the open road, transmitting its emotion to the crew.
