Indian Sport Chief Updates

Monday, 09 October 2023 10:48 AM

Indian has expanded its Chief line-up of cruiser bike for 2023 by adding a new, sportier model to the mix: the Sport Chief. It features the same Thunderstroke 116 ci (1,890cc) engine as its siblings but gets a host of performance-oriented parts and more aggressive styling cues. 

Sunday, 01 September 2024 01:41 PM The 2024 Indian Sport Chief has been unveiled with significant upgrades, including improved chassis components and a more aggressive design. This model features a 28-degree rake and 4.4 inches of trail, enhancing its agility and stability. It is equipped with Fox piggyback shocks, a KYB inverted fork, and Brembo brakes, making it a strong contender in the performance cruiser segment. The bike also boasts a Thunderstroke 116 engine producing 120 lb.-ft. of peak torque and a 4-inch TFT display with Ride Command. I believe these upgrades make the Sport Chief a compelling option for riders seeking both style and performance.

Tuesday, 15 August 2023 10:37 AM Indian Motorcycle has set its sights on the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S with the introduction of the Sport Chief. The company has been explicit about its target, highlighting the Sport Chiefs superior handling and braking capabilities thanks to its Fox shocks and Brembo brakes. The bikes design, including a quarter fairing and mid-mount foot controls, is aimed at providing a more aggressive riding experience. I think this direct competition will push the boundaries of performance cruisers.

Thursday, 20 July 2023 12:27 PM The 2023 Indian Sport Chief features a range of premium components, including KYB inverted front forks and dual-disc Brembo brakes, which significantly enhance its handling and stopping power. The bike also includes a new quarter fairing and moto-style handlebars, giving it a distinctive and aggressive look. With its Thunderstroke 116 engine and three selectable ride modes, the Sport Chief is designed for both power and comfort. I believe the attention to detail in its design and performance makes it a standout in the market.

Saturday, 10 June 2023 11:49 PM Indian Motorcycle has announced pricing for the 2024 Sport Chief, starting at $19,999 for the Black Smoke color option, with other colors adding $500 to the base price. The most expensive option, Smoky Quartz Metallic Pearl, is priced at $20,999. This pricing positions the Sport Chief competitively in the performance cruiser market. I think the value for money is quite appealing given the high-quality components and performance features.

Thursday, 25 May 2023 11:10 AM The Indian Sport Chief has received positive reviews for its suspension, particularly the Fox piggyback shocks that provide increased travel and better compliance over bumps. This improvement, along with the bikes geometry changes, enhances its cornering clearance and overall handling. The bikes ability to balance comfort and performance is a notable achievement. I believe this focus on suspension makes the Sport Chief a great choice for riders who want a smooth and agile ride.
