2026 Indian Motorcycle Chieftain® PowerPlus Dark Horse® Signature Series

Meet the 2026 Indian Motorcycle® Chieftain® PowerPlus Dark Horse® Signature Series in Abyss Metallic / Cypher Green—a bagger with a touring soul and a color combo that looks like midnight metal lit by a neon-green fuse. It’s the kind of machine that turns a quick fuel stop into an impromptu Q&A session, because it doesn’t just arrive—it makes an entrance.



At the heart of it all is the PowerPlus 112ci (1834cc) V-twin, a 4-stroke two-cylinder built to pull hard and pull often. With 126 bhp on tap and a thick 133 ft-lbs of torque at 3600 rpm, it’s tuned for that satisfying, effortless surge that makes rolling on the throttle feel like opening a fast lane. Fuel injection (with a 52mm injector size) keeps response crisp, while the 6-speed manual and belt drive put the power down with smooth, long-haul confidence.



This is touring comfort with a purposeful edge. You sit low in a one-piece leather seat at 26.5 inches, with room for two, floorboards for the rider, and rubber passenger pegs ready for a co-pilot. A sturdy aluminum frame anchors the ride, while the telescopic fork up front and twin sided swing arm rear suspension (with air adjustability and preload adjustment) help keep things composed when the road stops being polite.



When it’s time to scrub speed, Brembo® brings serious authority: dual hydraulic front discs with 4-piston calipers and a hydraulic rear disc with a 2-piston caliper. Rolling stock is equally road-minded—Metzeler CRUISETEC™ tires with an H speed rating, wrapped around aluminum wheels, giving this big touring bagger a planted feel that matches its confident stance.



And because touring should feel modern, it comes ready with RIDE COMMAND™ GPS, Bluetooth® audio, mobile app instrumentation, and four PowerBand® speakers controlled right from the handlebars. Add in the two side cases and you’ve got space for the weekend (or the long way home).



Dark Horse attitude, Signature Series presence, and Abyss Metallic / Cypher Green style—this Chieftain is built for riders who treat distance like an invitation.
