Are bagger motorcycles good for beginners?
Baggers put your feet forward and your seat low, which makes them easier to hold up at a stop than a bike with a tall, upright riding position. The Scout Sixty's 999cc engine and lighter weight make it the easiest starting point in this lineup; the Chief's added weight and power reward some time in the saddle first.
Customizations & upgrades
Every bagger in this lineup is built around a factory accessory catalog, not just aftermarket parts.
FAQs
Chieftain and Challenger both run Indian's liquid-cooled PowerPlus engine — 1,834cc (108ci), rated at 137 hp and 133 ft-lbs of torque in both families.
Yes. Every Chieftain and Challenger is built around a factory accessory catalog — saddlebags and storage, audio and infotainment, and windshields and fairings — so you can outfit the bike without leaving the lineup you started with.
Both families ship with hard saddlebags built in, not added on, so the storage capacity you see on the showroom floor is what you get — no aftermarket bags to fit or match.
Yes. The factory fairing cuts wind blast for both rider and passenger, and passenger accommodations are standard across the Chieftain and Challenger lineups.
