The bagger reaches a new dimension with the Indian Challenger. Its name sounds good because this machine is a real challenge, a stone thrown in the face of American culture. It’s big, massive, huge twin, face to crush yours on the sidewalk… but what a deviation from the sacred holy air-cooled Big Block (or in large part). In the Challenger, it’s a high-displacement twin with the scent evacuated by the fleet. Crack the boots and tie the kneecaps – the force is present en masse in this Indian.
In the tavern where the Harley Road Glides meet, the Challenger crashes its wheel into the counter. She looks at them, provokes them, and throws the handlebars on each side. Unlike the brand’s other baggers, such as the Chieftain, its head does not spin. It is mounted on the aluminum frame, not the handlebars. Exactly the same specificity that distinguishes the Street and Electra Glide from the Road Glide in the competitor from Milwaukee; it lightens the management.
One of them tries to cross eyes. Not enough to unsettle the Indian, proud of her heavy, tortured, unusual gaze. The central porthole is completed with a multifaceted casing. Two side blocks with a striking LED signature are placed in lieutenant of the lighting. It’s nice ? No, it is obvious, striking, brazen and confronting! In short, it causes competition and it appeals to people. By the way, have you noticed the relifted sioux head on the front fender?.
The innkeeper felt the sulfur to the end of the rims: “Go and explain yourself outside !!!”. The stranger was waiting for that. At Harley’s Milwaukee 8, the Indian responds with a new high-caliber PowerPlus 108 ci. Based on the Scout’s 1133, this 1769 cc cubic engine has 4 valves and 1 ACT per cylinder. Although less pot-bellied than the air Thunderstroke, it will know how to assert itself with a fiery spirit of a higher level. Able to take more turns, it especially asserts exceptional power values in an American. 122 horsepower, a pitfall compared to the Chief, Chieftain, Springfield and Roadmaster. With its lower airspace, you might think it is giving back its hand on the couple. Do you think …. this block sends over 18 mkg. On the other hand, this maximum value is located higher in speed – 900 very farther than with the ThunderStroke 1901.
Side part-cycle, the Challenger makes a strong impression. At the end of the inverted 43mm fork, there are radially mounted one-piece Brembo calipers, part number M4.32. It doesn’t tell you much ….. Let’s simplify by specifying that the Ducati Panigale V2 is equipped with the same jaws.
Electronic side, it’s open-bar. The Challenger benefits from three Driving Modes (Standard – Sport – Rain), traction control, cruise control, IMU inertial unit, keyless start, tire pressure control, ABS cornering, Ride Command infotainment with a 7-inch screen / radio / GPS and everything, a USB port and Bluetooth coupling. For comfort, the saddle is of a long-haul character, the suitcases can carry 68 liters, the windshield is electrically adjustable and the air vents are adjustable.
From near and far, the Challenger promises to be tough. And heavy. This bagger scares both the scales and the other machines in the segment. 365 kilos of metal from Illinois. A mass, like any good motorized American. Fortunately there are serious mkg to take all this. To go how far? There, it’s up to you to take up the challenge.
The Challenger also comes in a Dark Horse version, darker, differing mainly by its colors, a choice of black parts and the absence of protection bars..
