Riding The 2020 Indian Challenger. A BEAST!!!
First, thanks North County Indian Motorcycles for allowing me to take this bike out and to my pal Ryan who helped me film and by help I mean all of the stellar parts are his handy work and skill. You can follow him on Instagram at Full_Throttle_Hog and look for his RU-vid channel, soon.
The 2020 Indian Challenger took some getting used to as far as looks because of the huge front end but after a few hours/days of riding it I really think it's a great looking bike. I think because it's a little different from the Harley I just needed to appreciate the design...AND I DO!!!
With a 108 (122 HP), Power Plus motor, 6 speed transmission and 128 pounds of torque, this bike is plenty fast and with the high end suspension, very comfortable to ride. This is what I would call a performance bagger. It's got a 6 gallon tank so you get those extra miles. You can certainly take the Challenger out for long rides because it's very comfortable with the seating position and overall design. You can also choose between sport, standard and rain modes for different conditions and your personal preference. I really enjoyed sport mode.
I look for smooth shifting in a new bike and that's exactly what I got with this bike. Super responsive in the throttle, yet very smooth without the jerkiness (Is that even a word?), I might have expected.
I've listed the specs below and check out North County Indian Motorcycles if you've got questions or want to see about riding a demo bike.
