Indian has revealed its Chief, Springfield and Roadmaster models will boast enhanced technology for 2019 amongst a host of fresh colour options between the range.

Riders can now choose between three ride modes on the fly – Tour, Standard or Sport – for a ride experience that’s customised to their riding style. The throttle map for each mode is designed with a specific application in mind, resulting in one motorcycle with three distinct personalities.

Tour mode features a smooth throttle response for relaxed cruising, while Standard mode boasts a crisp throttle response and well-balanced power delivery as Sport mode utilises instant throttle response and aggressive power delivery for head-snapping acceleration.

To increase rider comfort, all Thunder Stroke 111 models are now equipped with Rear Cylinder Deactivation. When the engine reaches operating temperature and the ambient temperature exceeds 15 degrees, the rear cylinder will automatically deactivate when the bike is at a standstill, resulting in less engine heat for improved comfort in slow-moving or stopped traffic. The rear cylinder instantly reactivates when throttle is applied for a seamless transition to full power.

Several enhancements have been made to Indian stock audio system to significantly improve sound quality. The tweeters have been separated from the mid-range speakers to optimise sound output and clarity. Second, a dynamic equaliser that’s fully customisable now adjusts specific frequencies at different vehicle speeds to provide peak system performance at all times.

As speed increases, the equaliser automatically adjusts each frequency to the optimal level to compensate for road, wind and engine noise. The result is crystal clear, 100-watt premium audio at all speeds.

All three models are due to land in Australia before the end of the year. It was announced this week that Indian’s Scout and Scout Bobber models will receive minor updates for 2019.
