“Fully loaded with models and styles for the widest range of
riders, the 2023 lineup is a powerful testament to our team’s
relentless effort to build and refine a truly comprehensive product
offering over the past nine years,” said Mike Dougherty, President
for Indian Motorcycle. “This effort has been focused across the
line and within each model lineup, as evidenced by the introduction
of the FTR Sport – the addition of which creates four unique FTR
offerings, each with its own style and personality.”
FTR: An American
Original
Headlining the 2023 model year news is the introduction of a new
FTR mid-range trim, the FTR Sport. Replacing FTR S, the FTR Sport
sits just below the premium FTR R Carbon, but above of the FTR and
FTR Rally – creating four distinct trim models for riders to choose
from.
Designed for riders to cut loose and enjoy the pure sport of
motorcycling, the FTR Sport’s bold aesthetics and sporty
componentry, including a number plate, chin fairing and seat cowl,
take the FTR’s energetic attitude to another level. A totally
unique take on American V-twin performance with an unmistakable,
muscular style, the FTR truly is an American original.
New for 2023, the FTR Sport and FTR R Carbon are upgraded with a
four-inch round touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND,
featuring navigation. Three ride modes (Sport, Standard, Rain)
provide unique performance experiences for varying preferences and
riding conditions, while Lean Angle Sensitive Stability Control and
ABS provide confident, predictable handling in all conditions. The
FTR R Carbon separates itself as the premium offering with carbon
fiber components, premium seat, fully adjustable Öhlins gold front
forks and a gold piggyback shock. The FTR Sport touts a new tank
panel design and is available in Black Metallic with Indy Red
accents and White Lightning with Indy Red and Black Metallic
accents. The iconic Indian Script logo tank panels are exclusive to
the FTR R Carbon, which is finished with a classy Cloud Silver and
Championship Gold pinstriping.
While primary componentry carry-over for FTR and FTR Rally
models, all four FTR models now offer a new sport exhaust muffler,
and a retuned front braking system, which provides a firmer feel.
Indian Motorcycle also moved the speedometer up for easier viewing
and added a new clutch for improved feel and performance. With the
new tank panel design, as seen on FTR Sport, and the addition of
bold, vibrant colors, the refreshed FTR further broadens the appeal
of the FTR lineup to more riders. The FTR is available in Metallic
Black, contrasted by Lifted Lime branding with matching rear shock,
and Stealth Gray, featuring Orange Burst branding, rear shock and
wheels. Finally, the FTR Rally features 19- and 18-inch cast wheels
wrapped with knobby tires. The FTR Rally is available in new Black
Smoke paint, Desert Earth frame, and the iconic Indian Motorcycle
Headdress logo emblazed across the tank. Pricing for the FTR lineup
begins at $13,499.
For added personalization, Indian Motorcycle is launching nine
new FTR accessories. Through a brand partnership with Gilles
Tooling, Indian Motorcycle is offering co-branded pieces, including
Performance Adjustable Rearsets, and three Billet components: Bar
End Weights, an Oil Cap and a Radiator Cap. Performance Adjustable
Levers will also be available in spring 2023. In addition, Indian
Motorcycle has expanded its carbon fiber offering with three new
pieces, including an Exhaust Heat Shield, Frame Guard and a
Sprocket Cover. To enhance comfort, Indian Motorcycle has
introduced a durable and weather-resistant Comfort+ Seat, which
combines comfortable ergonomics with additional padding where
needed most.
Indian Challenger Elite: Ultimate in
Style & Exclusivity
For riders looking for something more exclusive and elevated
from the rest, Indian Motorcycle is offering the 2023 Indian
Challenger Elite. With only 150 available around the world, the
limited-edition bagger makes a bold statement with its premium
Sapphire Blue Smoke Paint with Black Smoke and Titanium Metallic
Smoke Accents.
The perfect blend of style, performance and comfort, the Indian
Challenger Elite is sure to turn heads on streets and crush miles
on open highways. The PowerPlus engine touts a best-in-class 122
horsepower and 128 ft-lbs of torque, and its premium amenities and
advanced ride-enhancing technology deliver a ride experience that’s
second-to-none. Indian Challenger Elite’s long list of premium
features include the following: three selectable ride modes,
electronically adjustable rear suspension preload from Fox®, Smart
Lean Technology, an adaptive LED Headlight, LED driving lights, an
adjustable flare windscreen, Select floorboards, heated grips, 6.5”
Powerband Audio with Saddlebag Speakers, and a new Precision Cut
five-spoke wheel. All-in, whether riding two-up for a weekend
adventure or commuting solo, the Indian Challenger Elite delivers
the ultimate in style and exclusivity.
2023 LINEUP: A Diverse Range for Any
Rider
Touting a wider range of models and options than ever before,
the 2023 Indian Motorcycle line offers a model suited for any rider
and a host of new upgrades, including:
- All Thunderstroke and PowerPlus models receive a new clutch –
improving the overall feel and forgiveness. This new slipper clutch
reduces engine drag which provides a smoother down shifting
experience and comfortable ride while improving your ability to
maintain traction when facing poor road conditions. Lastly, the
larger friction zone and decreased lever effort reduces your clutch
fatigue, which can be beneficial in urban areas or when riding in
traffic.
- Indian Springfield, Chieftain, Indian Challenger, Roadmaster
and Indian Pursuit models feature a redesigned LED headlight, which
improves reach and spread of light -- helping the rider see what
lies ahead, while also improving their visibility to other
motorists on the road.
- Integrated buttons on the Heated Seats and Heated and Cooled
Seats for PowerPlus and heavyweight Thunderstroke models now
feature haptics, which allow riders to feel the button’s responsive
when wearing gloves. Indian Pursuit with Premium Package models now
offer Lower Fairing Storage compartments as standard.
- Models with the four-inch round touchscreen display can now tie
their RIDE COMMAND account from the Indian Motorcycle app or
website to their bike, allowing app and web-accessible features
like vehicle health, vehicle locator and ride tracking.
Across the line, Indian Motorcycle has introduced an array of
new paint colors, including Sagebrush Smoke on Chief Dark Horse and
Stryker Red Metallic on Scout Bobber Sixty, Chief Bobber and
Roadmaster Limited models. Spirit Blue Metallic is a new color
option on Chieftain Limited and Indian Pursuit models, while
Titanium Smoke is introduced to Indian Challenger Dark Horse
models. For a comprehensive view of the lineup’s new paint colors,
please visit IndianMotorcycle.com.
For 2023, Indian Motorcycle is introducing an array of
functional accessories. First, in partnership with CruzTOOLS®,
Indian Motorcycle is launching three accessories, including two
tool kits compatible with all models and an axle adapter for FTR
models. To add storage to most models, a new All-Weather Vinyl
Tailbag attaches to select passenger seats or luggage racks. In
addition, a new Syndicate Heated Seat is available for Indian
Challenger models, while a Reduced Reach Kickstand is now available
for all Indian Challenger and Indian Pursuit models.
For the Chief line, Indian Motorcycle is launching two new bag
options. The Chief Fork Bag attaches securely to the front of the
handlebars and is perfect for storing smaller items like gloves,
glasses, cell phones or water bottles. The new Chief Bobber
Saddlebags are water-resistant and add convenient storage without
sacrificing style.
For added comfort, Indian Motorcycle is offering Chief riders an
upgraded Comfort+ Solo Seat and a two-up Syndicate Seat. The
Comfort+ Solo Seat pulls design inspiration from old-school muscle
car interiors. The top is more plush than the stock seat and
contours to hold the rider securely and comfortably. The new Chief
Syndicate Seat complements the bike’s distinct design, while adding
comfort and support for both rider and passenger. The Syndicate
Seat is made with a durable, weather-resistant black vinyl that
won’t fade.
For Chief passengers, Indian Motorcycle is introducing the Low
Profile Passenger Backrest, which complements the bike’s style and
adds cushioned support to the passenger’s posterior.
Lastly, the new Quick Release Low Profile Trunk for bagger and
touring models is expanding its colorway options. The streamlined
Low Profile Trunk will now be available in 58 factory colors.
Initial model year 2023 shipping will vary by model. In the
coming weeks, new 2023 bagger and touring models will begin
shipping to dealers. New 2023 Scout models will start shipping in
December. Riders can learn more or test ride by visiting a local
Indian Motorcycle dealership. For more information on Indian
Motorcycle, or to find a dealer, visit IndianMotorcycle.com and
