Overview[edit | edit source]
Indian Chieftain Elite
The new 2017 Chieftain Elite can be
considered a masterpiece on wheels, and was specially made for those
who want an ultra-exclusive Indian motorcycle that will turn heads.
The Chieftain Elite is a limited-edition bike featuring custom
Fireglow Red Candy with Marble Accents paint, all completed entirely
by hand at Indian Motorcycles custom paint facility located in
Spearfish, South Dakota. A small, specialized team spends over 25
hours to hand paint each bike. No two Chieftain Elites look exactly
the same.
With Chieftain Elite we wanted to design the most-premium, feature-packed Chieftain that we could possibly imagine, said Reid Wilson, Director of Marketing for Indian Motorcycle. In the end, I think the bike exceeded even our own high expectations. Its and absolute show stopper.
The Elite here has a 19-inch machined front rim and a cutback fender to expose its beauties. The headlight bezel has been colored to match the fairing, and the leather saddle has been made more streamlined than the standard model while being contrast stitched.
Moreover, instead of a standard headlight, the bike has a Pathfinder LED unit and driving lights. Youll also benefit from a flared power windshield, billet aluminum floorboards, and a 200-Watt sound system with two speakers in the fairing and two in the saddlebags.
The Elite model wouldnt have been complete without the industry-leading 7-inch infotainment system,
ABS, tire pressure monitoring system, keyless ignition, and remote locking luggage cases.
Power-wise, the Chieftain Elite comes with the same engine found on the standard and Limited models, but can be enhanced through optional features like a Stage 1 exhaust, high-flow air cleaner, and Stage 2 cams.
