Indian Chieftain
The Indian Chieftain has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 78 hp and weighs 379 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
作为北极星工业复兴印度摩托车品牌的一部分，印度Chieftain于2014年重新推出，与Chief Classic一起作为豪华旅行旗舰。它推出了Thunder Stroke 111 V型双缸发动机，值得注意的是，它是首批提供电动硬质鞍包锁定系统和带有集成信息娱乐系统的大型整流罩的巡洋舰旅行车之一。多年来，它收到了更新，包括更大的Thunder Stroke 116发动机选项（2019年以上），巩固了其作为哈雷戴维森公路滑翔和街道滑翔直接竞争对手的地位。

买家应该知道什么
Thunderstroke Engine Reliability
The 116ci Thunderstroke engine is widely praised for its durability and low maintenance needs, often running strong past 100,000 miles with regular oil changes. It's considered one of the more dependable big V-twins on the market.
Watch the Fuel System
Early models (2014–2016) had known issues with fuel pump failures and stalling, so always check service history on used bikes from those years. Indian issued fixes, but unresolved units can be costly to repair.
Strong Resale Value
Indian Chieftains hold their value notably well compared to many competitors, often retaining 70–80% of their value after three years. Limited editions and well-optioned trims command an even stronger premium on the used market.
按年份划分的世代和规格
Chieftain 的原始名称用于 Chief 变体；裙边挡泥板、大号 V 型双胞胎、经典的印度风格。
"钢铁般的美国之魂，要求你所拥有的一切。"
那个 74 立方英寸的平头可以从刚刚处于空转状态的状态下拉出来，拥有一种现代引擎无法真正复制的惊人的、懒散的权威 —— 你不是在加速这个东西，而是在依靠它。在雨中你需要在路边更换轮胎之前，裙边挡泥板看起来很漂亮，而且你会的，因为这个时代的内胎是无法谈判的。操控是经过深思熟虑的，而不是灵活的；在战前的几何形状下，只要你尽早下定决心并相信宽杆，你驾驶的驳船恰好在弯道上比任何时候都要好。从机械上讲，它会奖励耐心——气门调节、每200英里检查一次机油，以及让你谦卑的启动仪式——但是当这一切在开阔的高速公路上同步时，从那以后再也没有建造过任何东西。

二手买家评论
"A genuine Harley alternative that rewards buyers who do their homework."
$12,000-$22,000 usedThe Chieftain is Indian's serious answer to the touring bagger market, and used examples represent genuinely strong value right now. The 116ci Thunderstroke motor is bulletproof if maintained properly — check service history obsessively because owners who skipped oil changes at 3,000-mile intervals will haunt you. The fairing and infotainment system on 2019-onwards bikes is genuinely excellent, not just marketing fluff. Ride Triangle is properly sorted too, especially with the semi-active suspension models. Buy 2016 or newer to avoid early electrical gremlins that plagued the launch bikes. The throttle-by-wire models feel noticeably smoother. Watch for cracked lowers on bargain examples — that's crash damage someone's hiding. Frame sliders being fitted sometimes means it's been down. Fuel economy hovers around 38-42mpg which is acceptable for the size. Dealer network has improved massively since 2015 but still thinner than Harley's.
