Little by little, the dark spirit takes hold of the Indian range. The night was first abandoned on the Chief, then spread over the Chieftain. This time it’s the Springfield that merges into the Dark Horse correlation.
Imposing bagger, this variant is subtly dipped in the dark. But with a certain conception of the obscure, far from being taciturn. The Dark Horse is an alternation of black in matt paint and shiny elements. This nocturnal whirlwind takes with it the handlebars, the fork, the mirrors, the headlight cowling, the on-board console, the toe clips, the mudguards, the protection bars, the indicators…. almost all. But the engine has the meaning of rebellion; and style effects. Its cylinder head covers and crankcases also succumbed to black. But the cooling fins as well as the exhaust line claim faith in the light. Appearance detail: if this arguing horse wins an imposing Sioux head on its tank, it loses its iconic figurehead on the mudguard.
The Springfield Dark Horse also took the side of a more airy front end. Here, no traditional skirt to protect the 16-inch wheel, but a flared mudguard (in reference to the Indian of the 20s and 30s) overhanging a 19-inch large wheel..
An invitation to travel more ethereal than with the big Tourers of the range, in a more pleasant rhythm. It is not so much the engine, which remains the same 1800 as in 3/4 of the firm’s models, as the spirit of this bagger / cruiser that will make the difference. Heavy, the Springfield accuses a copious 386 kilos full tank, but is clearly more refined than the large liners of the manufacturer. Roadmaster at the head, the most statuary production with Indian head, which exceeds 400 kilos and seems as wide as the road. We will then let ourselves be intoxicated by the big couple of the Thunderstroke 111, with the delicate or fierce caresses of the air. Because it is up to you to prefer, or not, the protection of the imposing removable windshield, which can be assembled and disassembled in less than a minute without tools. Just like removable suitcases.
If the “Bagger” instinct of existence reminds us of an almost stripped-down Tourer, focused on the essentials, the Springfield subtly reminds us that technology is widely present under the night dress. There is its cast aluminum frame, injection, ABS, cruise control, tire pressure control, and the keyless start and lock system. Thus adorned, this new member of the Dark Horse family (a parallel with Dark Customs?!?) Is deliberately heading towards a long destiny..
