Since 2017, the dashboard of the Roadmaster has been thoroughly overhauled. The handset with delicate and classic shapes has given way to an imposing 7-inch screen, touchscreen interface of the ‘Ride Command’. This high-end set controls a whole set of multimedia functions. There is something for all tastes. GPS navigation, audio system, telephone functions, vehicle information, Bluetooth – all the details of ‘Ride Command’ are detailed here ->.
Indian now rhymes with luxury and prestige in the world of custom. Since Victory took matters into its own hands, the brand has posted good sales scores for Premium, sculpted, tempting, imposing models. The rebirth having taken aplomb, Indian had to complete its range with a model of Grand Touring. And since the Chieftain already had the genetics for this type of excursion, Spirit Lake used it as the basis for developing and offering the 1800 Roadmaster. 60 years later, this name returns to regain power on the road.
The first Roadmaster of the name wielded its power between 1947 and 1953. Today the proportions have all increased; and not just a little. Of course, the engine remains faithful to the V-twin. The ancestor cubed 1212 cm3, an impressive figure for the time. The offspring of the 21st century announces 1811 cm3. It doesn’t matter whether its bourrinesque performance is worthy of a diesel boat … Detail or priesthood that the audacity of this Thunderstroke 111 is! An expression overflowing with metal, anxious to put all its torque from steel to the road. And muscle, it takes to lift the 400 kilos of history, travel and pleasure. From the Chieftain, the level of American luxury goes up a notch, just to compete with the icon of the segment: the Electra Limited.
She wants to go far, long; so, she equips herself to take on more luggage. To the Chieftain’s suitcases is added a majestic top-case padded with leather. A very high-end seat for the passenger, truly pampered on the Roadmaster. The cargo holds are remotely lockable, and the total cargo capacity on board this Tourer is 143 liters – almost as much as a Honda Goldwing and 12 less than a cargo champion Victory Cross Country Tour..
Comfort takes on its full dimension on this Rican liner. You are cold ? The (superb) leather saddle is heated, with individual rider / passenger heat adjustment, as are the grips, with 10 levels of adjustment. Too hot ? You can adjust the air intake in the lower fairings. Panards badly placed? The passenger footrests are adjustable. If I concluded by specifying that the windshield is electric ?
No, because the Indian embeds other refinements, such as the tire pressure monitoring system, keyless start, Bluetooth, three 12 V sockets, LED lighting, ABS, cruise control, and chrome, full of chrome, everywhere. The Roadmaster is heavily dressed in stock chrome, including the fork, trunk rails, front and rear Highway Bar, fender tips, and many other trimmings..
With the Roadmaster, Indian is gaining a foothold in an ultra-selective segment. With comfortable visual power, a fat engine cut like a bison, a plethora of equipment and a historic name, this long-distance cruiser is sure to satisfy lovers of fine American machines..
