Indian Motorcycle Unveils Limited-Edition Challenger Elite&Pursuit Elite

Minneapolis, United States- Indian Motorcycle International LLC., a motorcycle company, has introduced two exclusive models for 2025: the Indian Challenger Elite and Indian Pursuit Elite. Designed for riders who demand high performance and unmatched style, these limited-edition motorcycles combine premium craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.

Both models are powered by Indian Motorcycle’s championship-winning PowerPlus 112 engine, a liquid-cooled V-twin that delivers 126 horsepower and 133 ft-lbs of torque. Developed through extensive testing in bagger racing, including victories in the 2022 and 2024 King of the Baggers championships, the engine provides immediate throttle response and consistent power in all conditions.

The Indian Challenger Elite draws inspiration from speed legend Gene “Alabama Flash” Walker, who set land-speed records on an Indian PowerPlus in 1920. It features a striking tri-tone paint job with Black Candy, Red Candy, and Crystal White Pearl Satin finishes, enhanced with shattered glass particles for extra brilliance. A Headdress logo fade, Dark Horse blacked-out components, and an individually numbered console with Walker’s bike etched in honor complete the bold look.

The Indian Pursuit Elite pays homage to the 20,000 Indian PowerPlus motorcycles produced in 1916 for the U.S. Army. This touring machine showcases a sophisticated tri-tone paint scheme in Black Candy, Black Forest Candy, and hand-painted Championship Gold accents. Like its sibling, it features blacked-out elements, custom badging, and an exclusive center console with its unique production number.

Performance is further elevated by inverted front forks, dual Brembo® radial brakes, and a lightweight chassis designed for agility and precision. Both bikes ride on 5-spoke machined wheels wrapped in Metzeler Cruisetec tires, delivering confidence and control.

Riders will enjoy enhanced comfort thanks to electronically adjustable rear suspension preload, which can be controlled through the bike’s RIDE COMMAND system. The Challenger Elite features a push-button Flare windshield, while the Pursuit Elite includes a standard adjustable windshield, heated grips, and a stitched heated seat for all-weather riding.

Both models come equipped with keyless ignition, remote locking saddlebags, Pathfinder Adaptive LED headlights, and auxiliary lighting. Select Headdress floorboards, USB charging, and cruise control round out the comfort and convenience features.

For audio lovers, the PowerBand Audio system offers up to 600 watts of sound through 4 speakers (Challenger) or 6 speakers (Pursuit), paired with LED underglow lighting and a dynamic 9-band equalizer that adjusts for wind and road noise.

Advanced safety and rider assistance technologies are also standard. These include Bike Hold Control, Electronic Combined Braking System, and new Rider Assist features like Blind Spot Warning, Tailgate Warning, and Rear Collision Warning, all of which display alerts via the 7-inch RIDE COMMAND infotainment screen.

With only a limited number of each model being produced, the 2025 Indian Challenger Elite and Indian Pursuit Elite deliver top-tier performance, premium comfort, and the ultimate in American motorcycle exclusivity.

Mr. Aaron Jax, Vice President, Indian Motorcycle, said, "Our Indian Motorcycle Elite series enables our designers to fully showcase their skills, creating bikes that exemplify the artistry and craftsmanship behind every Indian Motorcycle model. Every detail within the Indian Challenger Elite and Indian Pursuit Elite is meticulously designed, while a multi-layered painting process takes 24 hours to complete. A distinctive American style, with an obsessive attention to detail, paired with a limited production of each model makes the Indian Motorcycle Elite series the ultimate in style and exclusivity."
