“These new features and upgrades are a result of our consistent
communication with riders, listening to their feedback and
incorporating it into our ongoing product development efforts,”
said Reid Wilson – Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. “Today’s
rider wants more power and expects cutting-edge technology. That’s
exactly what we’re delivering in 2020.”
Thunder Stroke 116 For the first time
in the company’s history, Indian Motorcycle will offer a 116
cubic-inch Thunder Stroke engine in select models. Straight from
the factory, the new 116 cubic-inch air-cooled V-twin engine
features a new high-flow cylinder head that delivers class-leading
performance with 126 ft-lbs of torque. The Thunder Stroke 116 is
now standard on the Springfield Dark Horse, Chieftain, Chieftain
Dark Horse, Chieftain Limited, Chieftain Elite, Roadmaster and
Roadmaster Dark Horse.
Ride Command with Connected Services
For 2020, Indian Motorcycle introduces exciting updates to their
Ride Command system with Connected Services – a completely
redesigned version of its industry-leading infotainment system.
Still measuring seven inches, with glove-touch technology, Ride
Command now features a new quad-core processor to provide the
fastest infotainment experience available. New connected features
include traffic and weather overlays, so riders can plan their ride
to avoid traffic and poor weather conditions.
Additionally, Ride Command features intuitive
destination search capabilities and improved customizable ride
screens. Indian Motorcycle’s Ride Command is the industry’s
largest, fastest and most-customizable infotainment system on two
wheels.
Roadmaster Dark Horse Drawing
inspiration from the overwhelmingly successful Chieftain Dark
Horse, the Roadmaster Dark Horse brings a modern and aggressive
attitude to Indian Motorcycle’s premium touring motorcycle. With
blacked-out finishes and just enough chrome to stand out from the
2020 lineup, the Roadmaster Dark Horse features a streamlined
fairing, slammed saddlebags, 19-inch front wheel with an open
fender, an extended reach rogue gunfighter seat, blacked-out engine
and matte paint color schemes. Powering this mean touring machine
is the Thunder Stroke 116, while premium touring amenities abound,
including a touring trunk, lower fairings, heated grips and a
mid-adjustable windscreen.
Springfield Dark Horse Following
extremely positive rider feedback from the 2020 Jack Daniel’s
Limited Edition Indian Springfield Dark Horse that was launched at
Daytona Bike Week, Indian Motorcycle is now offering a similar
design package for the 2020 Springfield Dark Horse. While the
Thunder Stroke 116 delivers unrivaled power, the bike gains an
enormous level of attitude with slammed saddlebags, rogue seat,
12-inch mini apes and premium blacked-out finishes.
Chieftain Elite As it has with
previous iterations, the Chieftain Elite is an ultra-premium bagger
– combining style, technology and performance. The 2020 Chieftain
Elite packs the Thunder Stroke 116 and Indian Motorcycle’s booming
PowerBand Audio Plus system with integrated fairing and saddlebag
speakers. PowerBand Audio produces crystal-clear sound that is 50%
louder than Indian Motorcycle’s standard audio system. The 2020
Chieftain Elite’s premium styling includes a two-tone Thunder Black
Vivid Crystal over Wildfire Candy paint with matching motor
highlights and badging, precision machined elite wheels, pinnacle
mirrors, select rider floorboards, and a flare windshield.
Furthermore, the complete 2020 Thunder Stroke lineup features
additional updates. First, the Chief Dark Horse and Chief Vintage
will now share the same chassis as the Springfield and Springfield
Dark Horse. The result is improved handling and an adjustable rear
suspension for both Chief models. Secondly, the Springfield and
Chief Dark Horse will each come standard with a 17-inch front wheel
for improved stability. Lastly, the 2020 Roadmaster receives a
lighter weight and redesigned trunk rack for added style.

Indian Motorcycle’s 2020 lineup of performance accessories for
the Thunder Stroke 111 and Thunder Stroke 116 significantly modify
the overall look, sound, and performance of each engine. The stage
1 slip-on exhaust, available in black or chrome, improves sound for
both the Thunder Stroke 111 and Thunder Stroke 116. Indian
Motorcycle’s new stage 1 oval slip-on muffler kit and stage 1
performance air intake together increase horsepower by 4% with the
Thunder Stroke 111 and 8% with the Thunder Stroke 116. By adding
the stage 2 performance cams, riders will gain 13% more horsepower
when compared to a stock Thunder Stoke 111. The Thunder Stroke 116
stage 2 performance kit, which includes cams, higher flowing fuel
injectors and throttle body, produce a 17% horsepower boost when
paired with both stage 1 accessories. Riders can also upgrade any
Indian Motorcycle model packing the Thunder Stroke 111 with its
Thunder Stroke 116 stage 3 big bore kit, which produces 20% more
horsepower when compared to a stock Thunder Stroke 111.
For riders looking to add additional passenger accommodations,
Indian Motorcycle offers headdress passenger floorboard pads for
added cushion to combat road vibration and match the currently
available headdress rider floorboard pads, 12-inch quick release
passenger sissy bar and a new, more modern-styled passenger
backrest pad. Additionally, Indian Motorcycle will offer 12-inch
ape hanger handlebars for all Chief and Springfield models.
