The newly-released bike Challenger from the company Indian has attracted the attention of reporters and motor enthusiasts. When looking at the motorcycle for the first time, one notices clear lines of its exterior, in particular, its massive fixed fairing. With its slightly curved fuel tank and inverted forks, the Indian Challenger motorcycle looks quite aggressive. Created to take on the Harley Davidson Road Glide, the Indian Challenger bike features an elaborated suspension, lightweight aluminum chassis, radial monoblocks of brakes, not to mention a mighty powerplant.

Perhaps, the greatest argument of the Indian Challenger motorcycle in its clash with the Harley Davidson Road Glide is its 1769.8-cc liquid-cooled motor featuring one camshaft per cylinder and four valves and capable of demonstrating up to 122 hp and 173.5 Nm.

The 60-degree V-twin PowerPlus motor shows that Indian is playing seriously. Instead of merely increasing the engine’s cubic capacity, the developer updated the design to improve power performance. That’s the company’s first large-volume water-cooled engine. What’s more, the new engine of the Indian Challenger delivers its power via a six-speed gearbox with an improved clutch. Besides this, the Indian Challenger motorcycle comes with hydraulic chain tensioners for less labor-intensive maintenance.

Another worthy novelty worth mentioning is it’s the motorcycle’s rear Fox monoshock. This gas-filled 46mm shock absorber of the Indian Challenger with an internal floating piston that separates gas from oil provides more consistent absorption compared to traditional gas-oil shock absorbers installed on the bike’s counterparts. The shock absorber of the Indian Challenger motorcycle is equipped with a remote hydraulic preload regulator behind the side panel. To adjust it, you need to use a special wrench. In the front of the bike, there’s an inverted fork under the massive fairing.

The company Indian is assured that a modern motorcycle should be equipped with modern electronics. So, the new Indian Challenger motorcycle boasts an updated Ride Command system with a new quad-core processor for a quick start and a vigorous system response. The Indian Challenger motorcycle also features and real-time modules to display weather as well as traffic jams on the bike’s way.

Aside from that, the Indian Challenger motorcycle is equipped with adjustable tidy screens. It’s pleasant to note that the sensor responds to a gloved hand. The biker can take advantage of three driving modes: Rain, Standard, and Sporty. The given feature of the Indian Challenger provides an individual response to the throttle alongside different levels of the traction control.

The Indian Challenger motorcycle has a relaxed fit, comfortable for long trips. The biker’s ergonomics is good for riders of any size. The handlebar is a bit low, but it's a trifle. The tourist seat of the Indian Challenger motorcycle is perfect. It’s neither too soft nor too hard. Even two days of tight driving for hundreds of kilometers didn’t bring any unpleasant sensations, which is quite good for the stock model of the seat. The large fairing of the Indian Challenger works perfectly, repelling the wind from the chest, and the adjustable visor can be easily set to withstand different wind forces. To adjust it, you should use a button on the right remote control.
