Powered By the Powerplus 108
The 2024 Indian Challenger Elite Touring Bike is powered by a liquid-cooled 108 cu in PowerPlus engine. Its best-in-class 122 HP and 128 ft-lbs of torque deliver outstanding V-twin performance with unmatched passing capability.
Unsurpassed Handling
The electronically adjustable rear suspension preload allows optimisation of suspension settings. Innovative Lean Technology utilises Bosch® Inertial Measurement Unit to manage traction control, ABS, and torque for superior control.
Brighter, Bolder Lighting
The Pathfinder Adaptive LED headlight, combined with Pathfinder S LED Driving Lights, enhances visibility and creates a more striking presence, even at night.
Tinted Flare Windshield
The tinted flare windshield can be raised or lowered to the rider’s preferred position with a handlebar-mounted button.
Beats for The Streets
Upgraded PowerBand 6.5-inch speakers provide 400 watts of clear audio. A dynamic equaliser automatically adjusts for road, wind, and engine noise, keeping the music precise.
PowerBand Audio
Redesigned for Indian baggers and touring models, upgraded PowerBand Audio kits provide 100-watt speakers with higher volume, improved clarity, and enhanced bass. Each speaker features UnderGlow LED accent lighting for a custom-inspired look that surpasses standard audio systems. The next-generation PowerBand Audio combines powerful sound, fresh styling, factory-backed quality, and easy installation.
Powerful Sound
The 100-watt PowerBand Audio speakers immediately improve volume and clarity compared to standard 50-watt speakers. The Bass Boost Tune adds deeper bass lines, providing 50% more bass than previous versions. Dynamic EQ auto-adjusts for optimal audio as speed and conditions change. Speakers are durable, water-resistant, and designed to cut through road, wind, and throttle noise for an immersive listening experience.
Upgraded Style
Featuring a modern, custom-inspired design, PowerBand Audio speakers include soft-white UnderGlow LED accent rings and a titanium-plated dome, making them visually appealing as well as sonically impressive.
Intuitive Audio Controls
Once installed, the 7-inch Touchscreen Display, powered by Ride Command, automatically recognises PowerBand Audio speakers and updates the audio menu. Riders include a nine-band equaliser to customise settings for any music genre fully.
Factory-Backed Quality
PowerBand Audio actively monitors circuit temperature to prevent internal damage or system shutdown under extreme heat. Its rugged design is water-resistant with Ultra Coat sealing to protect against water, dirt, and debris. PowerBand Audio is designed in the U.S.A. and backed by a factory warranty.
