Overview

For model year 2022, Indian completely redesigned its Chief platform, slimming down the formerly curvy flagship series into three models with purposeful, minimal profiles that still embraced a quintessentially cruiser attitude. The next-gen Indian Chief, Indian Chief Bobber, and Indian Super Chief are all built on the same platform and pack a simple new steel-tube frame with a cast-aluminum rear subframe in a more exposed, open arrangement, and the Super Chief is the light touring-biased expression of that effort. That means it gets a removable touring shield, two-up saddle, floorboards, 9.7 gallons worth of capacity from the leather side bags, and wide handlebars to steer the ship. On the base-model Super Chief, motivation comes courtesy of an air-cooled 49-degree Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin, good for a claimed 108 lb.-ft. of torque and hung on a steel tube frame, with two wire-spoke 16-inch tires on either end and a big LED headlight leading the way. The more premium Super Chief Limited trim swaps in a beefier Thunder Stroke 116 mill, said to produce 120 lb.-ft. of peak torque; both feature three ride modes.

The Indian Super Chief adds saddlebags, floorboards, and a touring shield but keeps bodywork to a minimum for a classic cruiser profile.

On the base model you get the air-cooled Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin, while the Super Chief Limited rolls with a bigger, more powerful Thunder Stroke 116 engine. (Accessorized model shown.)
