The Indian Challenger Elite, equipped with a 1768 cc PowerPlus engine, marks a significant entry in the touring motorcycle segment. Its engine, noted for being liquid-cooled, delivers a substantial 123 Ps, which translates to a smooth yet powerful ride. The torque, peaking at 173 Nm at 3800 rpm, ensures ample pull and responsiveness in various riding conditions. This makes the Challenger Elite not just suitable for long stretches of highways but also quite capable in urban settings.
In terms of comfort and convenience, the bike shines with its advanced suspension system - a 43 mm inverted telescopic fork at the front and a Fox single shock with electronically controlled hydraulic adjustment at the rear. This setup provides a balanced and comfortable ride, absorbing bumps effectively. Additional features such as keyless ignition, chassis-mounted fairing, adjustable fairing air flow vents, and heated grips elevate the riding experience. The 400-watt audio system compatible with AM/FM and smartphones is a thoughtful touch for entertainment enthusiasts.
