Expert opinion and recommendation

The Indian Chief Dark Horse is a compelling package that blends traditional cruiser aesthetics with modern performance and handling. On the road, it feels surprisingly light and agile despite its 300kg weight, thanks to its well-balanced chassis and minimalistic design. The 1,890cc Thunderstroke 116 engine delivers immense torque, making it a joy to ride, especially in the Tour mode which I found most enjoyable. However, the braking performance is somewhat lacking, particularly with the single 300mm front disc. The suspension is a highlight, handling Indian roads with ease and providing a plush ride. While it may not be perfect, with its unique blend of power, handling, and style, the Chief Dark Horse is certainly a strong contender in the cruiser segment.

The 2024 Indian Chief Dark Horse V-Twin has seen a price increase, but it retains its powerful Thunderstroke 116 engine, producing 162 Nm of torque. This model also features a 4-inch touchscreen display with Ride Command, including GPS and Bluetooth. The bikes design remains true to its stripped-down, mechanical aesthetic. I think the added tech makes it a compelling choice for those who want both style and functionality.

Indian Motorcycle has introduced new color options for the 2024 Chief Dark Horse, including Black Metallic, Maroon Metallic Smoke, and Titanium Metallic. These new colors add a fresh look to the already sleek design of the bike. The Thunderstroke 116 engine and the 4-inch Ride Command display remain unchanged, ensuring a powerful and tech-savvy ride.

The Indian Chief Dark Horse continues to impress with its agile handling and control, thanks to its low seat height, ergonomically-designed controls, and lightweight cast aluminum frame. This makes it a confidence-inspiring ride for riders of all levels. The bike also features three ride modes – Rain, Standard, or Sport – to customize the riding experience.

Indian Motorcycle has highlighted the innovative slipper clutch in the Chief Dark Horse, which reduces engine drag and provides smoother downshifting. This feature, along with the expanded friction zone and reduced lever effort, makes the bike more comfortable to ride, especially in urban settings.
May 10, 2024
The 2024 Indian Chief Dark Horse boasts a robust infotainment system with a 101 mm round RIDE COMMAND display. This system allows for turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and access to phone information, making it a modern and convenient ride. I believe this integration of technology enhances the overall riding experience significantly.

July 6, 2023
The Indian Chief Dark Horse is priced at 20.75 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can easily cross 24 lakh. While this is certainly on the higher side, the quality of the build, the attention to detail, and the performance of the bike justify the cost. For those who value the heritage and craftsmanship of Indian Motorcycles, the price is well worth it. However, its important to consider the overall cost of ownership, including maintenance and fuel costs, which can be significant for a bike of this caliber.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the Indian Chief Dark Horse is not its strongest suit, given its large V-twin engine. You can expect around 8-10 kml in city riding and slightly better on the highway, but this can vary depending on riding conditions and style. While fuel efficiency might not be a priority for cruiser enthusiasts, its an important consideration for those concerned about running costs. The bikes large fuel tank helps mitigate this to some extent, but frequent fuel stops are still a reality.

Coming with a 1811 cc engine, Indian Chief Dark Horse is the best cruiser ever built. So much power and panache in a single vehicle, if you buy this then you do ot need to look at another option!
