Indian Motorcycle’s thermoelectric
technology is much more effective than the automotive market
standard of HVAC convection systems. A critical performance benefit
of the ClimaCommand technology is that it actually produces a
surface that’s cold to the touch, rather than merely pushing cool
air through perforations in the surface in the manner that HVAC
system offerings operate. (Graphic: Business Wire)
The all-new ClimaCommand Classic Seat delivers both heating and
cooling to riders and passengers and raises the bar for cooling
thanks to three key elements:
- A proprietary thermoelectric module that pumps heat away from
the rider
- A patent-pending ducting system for cooling the thermoelectric
module
- Graphene, a highly conductive and flexible material that
optimizes the distribution of heating or cooling while maintaining
superior comfort
Indian Motorcycle’s thermoelectric technology is much more
effective than the automotive market standard of HVAC convection
systems. A critical performance benefit of the ClimaCommand
technology is that it actually produces a surface that’s cold to
the touch, rather than merely pushing cool air through perforations
in the surface in the manner that HVAC system offerings
operate.
“Despite advancements in heating and cooling for seats, we had
yet to see a cooling technology that truly eliminated the
discomfort of hot-weather, and with ClimaCommand, our engineering
team has finally solved this problem,” said Ross Clifford, Vice
President of Parts, Garments, and Accessories at Indian Motorcycle.
“Our thermoelectric technology paired with graphene material is
truly a game-changer, and another example of Indian Motorcycle
bringing difference-making innovation to the market.”
To accomplish conduction heating and cooling, a thermoelectric
module located within the seat directly regulates the temperature.
Electricity is applied by a thermoelectric module to the graphene
material, causing one side of the material to absorb heat and the
opposing side to dissipate heat. By reversing electrical flow, the
hot and cold temperatures alternate sides. A graphene material,
which is a nanomaterial created from 100% carbon atoms, is then
used to ensure the heating and cooling is dispersed throughout the
entire seat.
The well-cushioned ClimaCommand Classic Seat delivers
unprecedented comfort with Thunderstroke models. Independent rider
and passenger controls (low, medium, high) allow the rider and
passenger to remain in command of their heating and cooling levels.
With no perforations, the seat’s vinyl cover is highly-durable and
water and UV-resistant. Passengers can add more comfort with
Armrest Pads and a Trunk Backrest Pad, both designed and developed
to seamlessly pair with the new ClimaCommand Classic Seat.
It’s important to note that the ClimaCommand Classic Seat is not
Ride Command-integrated. However, Ride Command-integrated versions
of the ClimaCommand Seat will be available for the 2020 Chieftain
and Roadmaster later this year.
The ClimaCommand Classic Seat is now shipping to dealers and
available at IndianMotorcycle.com.
In addition to the all-new ClimaCommand Classic Seat, Indian
Motorcycle is introducing an array of new parts and accessories for
Scout and FTR 1200 models. New Semi-Rigid Scout Saddlebags allow
Scout riders to pack for the long haul, while FTR 1200 riders can
select from high or low mount carbon-fiber Akrapovič exhaust
options, several new airbox tank cover options, new billet aluminum
Rizoma mirrors, and a carbon fiber nacelle to enhance the
high-performance design of the FTR 1200.
