Introducing the 2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse, a motorcycle that combines timeless design, a legendary past, and unobtrusive modern technology. In celebration of 100 years of the iconic Indian Chief, first unveiled in 1921, Indian Motorcycle has reimagined the 2022 lineup, including the Chief Dark Horse, Chief Bobber, and Super Chief, each offering a unique take on the classic American V-twin. The Chief Dark Horse features a stripped-down, mechanical styling highlighted by drag handlebars, 19-inch cast wheels, mid-mount foot controls, a slim headlight bucket, and a solo bobber seat. It is based on a timeless, simplistic steel-tube frame and powered by Indian Motorcycle’s powerful Thunderstroke 116 motor, delivering 120 ft-lbs of torque. The bike’s design pays homage to the glory days of American motorcycling, with a focus on minimalism and attitude, featuring bobbed fenders, exposed rear shocks, and dual exhaust. It includes modern features like a 4-inch touchscreen with RIDE COMMAND, offering turn-by-turn navigation, ride modes, and Bluetooth connectivity for calls and music. The Chief Dark Horse is dark by design, with premium gloss-black finishes from fender to fender, and comes equipped with keyless ignition, USB charging, cruise control, and super-sticky Pirelli Night Dragon tires. With a low seat height of 26 inches, a short 64-inch wheelbase, and a wet weight of 670 pounds, it inspires confidence and is approachable for any rider, suitable for technical ride routes with its 46mm front forks and 28.5-degree lean angle. Full LED lighting ensures great visibility, and riders can choose between three ride modes—Tour, Standard, and Sport—for a tailored riding experience.
