Indian 1811 CHIEF CLASSIC 2015

Menus

Now protected and controlled by the Polaris group, Indian can now quietly cruise into a new era. The 1800 Chief Classic thus honors its almost legendary lineage by throbbing under the fibrillations of its imposing V-twin.. Majestic, incomparable, carved in the depths of America, this machine has the charming metal, the fat muscle to perfection and the abundant silhouette.

The Indian Chief Classic seems to come from a movie, with the scent of great Hollywood. She did not know them but seems to have played with Bogart, Grant, Cooper, Brando. The story arises on her curves that she exhibits without restraint. Its characteristic large skirts, its 60-spoke rims shod with whitewall tires, chrome to cover an avenue: the Chief is both classic and attractive. There are its details, discreet or impactful, which take you into its universe: the Native American headdress placed on the front fender, the saddle with studded edges, the headlight cowling and the row of triple optics, the leather tongue on the tank ending in an atypical on-board console. Encrusted in the enormous chrome plate, the large counter graduated up to 200 seems to stop its effort at 120, the fuel gauge evolves on an almost complete revolution, and to give life to the custom, a large push button awaits the waking thumb..

Because now, the Chief Classic can do without a key. Just have the key fob in your pocket, get in and go. Modern touches run here and there, such as ABS and serial cruise control, the digital screen at the bottom of the tachometer, the LED indicators, the aluminum frame, the ride-by-wire accelerator , the injection…. But that’s not what will make you ogle this Indian. No ; it also tempts you (especially) with its big and new engine: the Thunder Stroke 111.

111 cubic inches; i.e. 1811 cm3. He’s huge, and he’s magnificent. This air-cooled 49 ° open engine is a real pleasure to watch. A sculpture, thought for the generous couple, the sensations, and incidentally to tackle the Twin Cam of the neighbor Harley.
As it should be, it’s a long race; an architecture conducive to torque and filling at low speeds but little inclined to take turns. That’s good, we don’t give a damn about the high revs on a custom of this caliber. Purists will be delighted with its bowels. The distribution is provided by rocker arms, there are only 2 valves per cylinder, and when the bowls explode, huge ladles of fat are sent into the 6-speed gearbox. The Minnesota twin does not swing less than 14.1 mkg at its peak peaking at 3,000 rpm. All this in a sound that brings to mind the great plains of Kansas, the immense cornfields of Illinois, a game of baseball in the heat of Texas.

Arms spread by the wide handlebars, sidewalls greeted by large steps, straight back and square legs, the pilot is installed in cruising mode. If the chassis can inspire some confidence with a frame fed with aluminum, a thick fork of 46 mm, 3 brake discs of 300 mm supported by calipers with 4 pistons at the front and 2 pistons at the rear, the pleasure of riding must coexist with restraint. The Indian Chief Classic is 2 m 63 long, almost 1/2 meter longer than a Triumph 675 Street Triple, its wheelbase announces 1730 mm and its weight accuses 370 kgs. We are far from the loving toy to be pushed around.

The Chief Classic is the most accessible of the new 111 ci range models. A very relative notion because all the models want to be in the premium category. At more than 23,000 euros, the Indian makes his wallet cough before belching his metallic rumblings. But make no mistake: this is not an ordinary custom, it is refinement struck with authentism.
