Meet the new Indian Pursuit - The Next Generation of American V-Twin Touring Performance
·
As one of the ultimate expressions of freedom, a touring motorcycle unlocks the open road and enables longer escapes and epic adventures. And now, the new 2022 Indian Pursuit Limited and Indian Pursuit Dark Horse stake their claims as the most capable and refined American touring machines.
Building on the Indian Challenger platform that introduced a world-class level of sophistication and took American V-Twin performance and handling to a new level, the Indian Pursuit with its liquid-cooled PowerPlus motor, lightweight cast aluminium frame, chassis-mounted fairing, premium running gear and state-of-the-art electronics delivers a fully-loaded touring machine that combines top-tier performance with unparalleled comfort.

At the heart of the Pursuit is the smooth and high revving Indian Motorcycle PowerPlus engine, a 1768cc, liquid-cooled V-twin that delivers a class-leading 121 hp and 178Nm (131 ft-lbs) of torque. Overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder deliver incredible V-twin performance and power from a powertrain that features a six-speed transmission with true overdrive, assist clutch to reduce clutch effort, and hydraulic valve lash adjusters and camshaft chain tensioners for a low maintenance and reliable powerplant. In addition, the Indian Pursuit features a refined PowerPlus calibration, which improves low-speed drivability and further enhances the rider experience.
Riders can customise the bike’s throttle mapping to suit their riding style, or the conditions, by selecting from three ride modes, including Rain, Standard and Sport. Each mode has been engineered with its own distinct traction control settings to match its throttle mapping and provide maximum confidence to the rider.
The Indian Pursuit is designed for optimal comfort on long, epic journeys. The chassis-mounted fairing provides for lighter steering and is less affected by the wind. The adjustable windscreen and vented lower fairings provide superior protection from the elements and a heightened level of flexibility to adjust to varying weather and temperature conditions. Premium style integrated driving lights in the lower fairings improve visibility at night and in colder weather, heated grips keep riders’ hands warm while the Pursuit’s new Heated Touring Comfort seat delivers unprecedented comfort. In addition, a premium cargo trunk and spacious saddlebags combine for more than 133 litres of power-locking storage – allowing riders to pack everything they need for longer rides.
Keeping the rider informed, the Pursuit comes with the glove-friendly, industry-leading seven-inch touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND. With RIDE COMMAND, the touchscreen display offers Apple CarPlay®, GPS with turn-by-turn navigation and a multitude of bike data to customise your view.
The Indian Pursuit features an all-new electronically adjustable rear suspension preload from Fox®, which allows riders to adjust their preload for optimal comfort and handling under varying conditions. Whether riding solo, two-up or carrying more cargo – the electronically adjustable rear suspension preload is managed from the convenience of the bike’s infotainment system. The new electronic preload is also available as an accessory upgrade for all Indian Challenger models.
Race-spec radially-mounted Brembo® brakes provide powerful and progressive stopping power, and performance touring Metzeler® Cruisetec® tyres offer supreme traction and unbeatable line holding. In addition, both models offer intuitive Smart Lean Technology, which keeps riders confidently grounded by utilising a Bosch® IMU to add cornering control to the dynamic traction control and ABS for precise cornering, maximised braking, and maximised acceleration.
The Indian Pursuit Limited will be available in Black Metallic starting from £ 27,695 and the Indian Pursuit Dark Horse will be available in Black Smoke and Silver Quartz Smoke starting from £ 27,895. Build yours today.
