Buyer’s Guide Model Detail

Buyer's Guide > Chieftain Elite
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
The Elite is the highest-priced version of the Chieftain; it's still powered by the same Thunderstroke 111 engine, but has a hand-finished paint job along with LED headlight and driving lights, 200-watt sound system, leather seats, billet driver and passenger floorboards, updated hand controls, Indian’s Ride Command infotainment system (with 7-inch screen), keyless ignition, cruise control, and so on. This is Indian's version of a high-end factory bagger, for those who have the money to play in that game.
