The ELITE signature on an Indian Motorcycle model immediately identifies and elevates your motorbike to an exceptional piece produced in a limited and exclusive number. ELITE embodies the supreme expertise of the Indian Motorcycle design office, bringing together all the codes of excellence that can be applied to a motorbike. Historically, Indian Motorcycle has continually imposed this exercise on various models such as the Chieftain, the Roadmaster and now the Indian Challenger and Indian Pursuit, each equipped with the PowerPlus 112 engine and now wearing the precious ELITE signature. Only 350 Indian Challenger Elite units and 250 Indian Pursuit Elite units, each numbered, were produced to serve the five continents.
Their respective lines and dresses sparkle with harmony and beauty in the choice of colours in three tones where glass particles are injected to accentuate brilliance and depth in a treatment requiring a long multi-layer process lasting more than 24 hours.
Indian Motorcycle’s design team, led by Ola Stenegärd, drew inspiration from the story of Gene ‘Alabama Flash’ Walker, a glorious Indian Motorcycle rider of the 1920s and a speed and title record holder, to stamp the Indian Challenger Elite with the racing and performance codes embodied by its bright red colour.
The styling influence of the classy Indian Pursuit Elite has been drawn from Indian Motorcycle’s history, in memory of the 20,000 PowerPlus models produced in 1916 for the US Army. Every aesthetic and technical detail has been meticulously thought out to complete the package, such as the five-spoke wheels, the luxurious saddlery, the rear LED lights, the driver’s and passenger’s footrest plates, the adaptive audio system with four 100W speakers on the Indian Challenger Elite and six on the Indian Pursuit Elite, coupled with a nine-band dynamic equaliser… These are just some of the features available on these two Premium models, which are already equipped with the best technology for exceptional ride, comfort, performance and safety.
