Motorcycle specifications Indian1890 Roadmaster Dark Horse Jack Daniel's 2021 A trip to the Ewings

Although the tradition has hit a snag (no special series in 2020), Indian and Jack Daniel's continue their marriage with a limited-edition model. The Springfield had the honors in 2019. This time, it's the 1890 Roadmaster Dark Horse.

The opulence of America takes on its full meaning in this union. A GT worthy of an ocean liner, the fruit of expressive, protuberant Massachusetts envy, backed by a good old Tennessee twist. The glass fills up on the counter, a drop escapes onto the worm-eaten wood, toasts the patina under the fingers, then the big twin roars to life.

The rider abandons his bourbon to take hold of a motorcycle of assertive luxury. Indian takes great care with its "Jack" special series, but leaves some of the design work to the Klock Werks Kustom Cycles workshop. The latter focused on the theme of a particular whisky in the range: Gentleman Jack. Aging in oak barrels guides the color and pattern, with this two-tone "Whiskey Pearl" paint scheme, while the engine head covers benefit from a unique Oakwood ceramic finish, reflecting the manufacturing process of the aforementioned whisky. The footrests are also customized, as are the sides of the bike, the stitching on the seat and other details.

Indian takes the opportunity to unveil its new Pathfinder adaptive LED headlight and Pathfinder S high beam. The comfort features of the standard model are complemented by the new ClimaCommand heated AND cooled seat, shown here in a Rogue version. Settings can be ordered from the Ride Command console. As an added bonus, it also features Apple CarPlay.
From both sides, this Roadmaster exudes luxury. On board, you'll find heated handgrips, luggage with remote central locking, a 600-watt audio system, an adjustable short windshield from Klock Werks, and of course specific numbered badges to prove the beast's exclusivity. Take a look at the one on the V of the Thunderstroke 116, before it fires up its enormous bowls and the chubby 17.4 mkg it can deliver at 2,900 rpm.
