The Roadmaster Elite draws power from the 1,800-cc, Thunder Stroke 116, air-cooled, V-twin powertrain. The unit churns out a power of 120 bhp and a peak torque of 170 Nm. It is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle has ample storage capacity, and it has saddlebags and a weatherproof top case.
Indian Motorcycle was established in 1901, and the brand holds a significant place in US motorcycling history. The brand was a significant force in India in the early 20th century. However, the two-wheeler giant faced financial issues and halted its operations in 1953. Later, the company was revived under several ownerships. At the moment, the US-based cruise motorcycle brand’s Indian lineup comprises the Chief, Indian Scout, the Springfield, and the Chieftain. The launch of the new Roadmaster Elite in India indicates that the company is looking to expand its market presence in the country.
