Indian Motorcycle has released a limited-run Roadmaster Elite cruiser, outfitted with Indian’s top-of-the-line componentry and painted in a tri-tone color scheme, which pays homage to the Indian models built in the Springfield, Massachusetts, factory in the early 1900s.
With only 300 available worldwide, the Roadmaster Elite’s bodywork is painted royal blue that’s blended with black candy, which has a subtle fade over silver from front to back. Accents of gold pin-striping and bright nickel plating are used throughout, including in the seat stitching, machined wheels, badging and more.
The air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 (1890cc) 49˚ V-Twin engine has a full-chrome treatment and delivers a claimed 126 lb-ft of torque.
The Ride Command infotainment system is accessed via a seven-inch touchscreen display and features Bluetooth connectivity, GPS navigation, ride stats, and Ride Command+ features, such as Bike Locator, Bike Health, Apple CarPlay and more.
Indian Motorcycle’s PowerBand Audio system with bass boost connects to 12 speakers that have UnderGlow lighting.
The Roadmaster Elite also has three selectable ride modes (Tour, Standard and Sport), adaptive LED headlight, heated/cooling seat, spacious floorboards, passenger armrests, adjustable Flare windshield, remote-locking saddlebags and a tour trunk.
Priced at $41,999, only 300 of the individually numbered 2025 Indian Motorcycle Roadmaster Elites will be available worldwide.
