2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse offers vintage looks with modern tech

Indian's Chief offers riders a classic American motorcycling experience with some modern tech cleverly sprinkled in.

The 2022 Chief is powered by Indian's 111 cubic-inch Thunderstroke engine.

That engine is paired with a six-speed transmission and belt final drive.

ABS is optional on the base model Chief, Chief Bobber and Super Chief.

ABS is standard, along with a digital gauge, on Dark Horse and Limited models.

Cruise control and user-selectable ride modes are standard, as well.

The Chief rides on a classic tubular steel frame with twin rear shocks.

Indian will offer a host of performance parts for the Chief, including a 116 cubic-inch big bore kit.

Other cosmetic accessories will be available as well from Indian dealers.

The 2022 Chief should be in dealerships starting in April.
