Indian Roadmaster V-Twin
About
The Indian Roadmaster is a behemoth of a motorcycle, powered by a 1811cc Thunderstroke V-Twin engine that produces 139 Nm of torque at 3000 RPM. This engine, combined with a 6-speed gearbox, provides effortless acceleration and smooth power delivery. The bike features a large fairing that offers excellent wind protection, along with heated seats and grips for added comfort. The Roadmaster also comes equipped with advanced features such as cruise control, keyless ignition, remote luggage locking, and a 200 W audio system. The electronically adjustable windscreen and ample storage in the panniers and top box make it ideal for long-distance touring. With its comfortable riding position, refined engine, and extensive list of amenities, the Roadmaster is designed to make long rides comfortable and enjoyable. However, its size and weight mean it is not suited for urban commuting or tight corners, making it a specialist in the realm of long-distance touring.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Indian Roadmaster is a masterpiece of luxury and grandeur, embodying the essence of American touring motorcycles. Its massive size and imposing presence are matched only by its exceptional comfort and performance. The 1811cc Thunderstroke V-Twin engine delivers smooth, consistent power and ample torque, making it a joy to ride over long distances. The bikes fit and finish are impeccable, with top-notch materials and craftsmanship evident in every detail. Features like heated seats, cruise control, and an advanced infotainment system enhance the riding experience. However, the lack of a built-in GPS navigation system is a notable omission. Overall, the Roadmaster is perfect for those who value comfort, power, and exclusivity, but it comes at a significant cost.
Price
The Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse is priced at around Rs 43.15 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can easily exceed Rs 50 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This places the Roadmaster in the premium segment of motorcycles, where it competes with other high-end touring bikes. While the price is steep, the quality, features, and overall experience it offers justify the cost for those seeking a luxurious and powerful touring motorcycle.
2024 Indian Roadmaster on road price is Rs 50.75 lakh in Delhi, Rs 52.47 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 51.37 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 52.03 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Indian Motorcycle dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 08:14 AM
The mileage of the Indian Roadmaster is not its strongest suit, given its large V-Twin engine and heavy weight. You can expect an average fuel economy of around 15-20 kml, which is reasonable considering the bikes size and power output. However, this does translate to higher running costs, especially for frequent long-distance riders. Despite this, the Roadmasters performance and comfort make it a worthwhile choice for those who prioritize these aspects over fuel efficiency.
