Just a few months ago, Indian announced the new 2020 Indian Challenger! This is a brand new bagger line for Indian and it’s loaded with new features! So, when it finally hit the showroom floor, we had to take a look!
Since we were in Savannah, we dropped by Indian of Savannah to check it out. While there, we met the GM / Operating Partner and “Director of Chaos”, Bob Millsap. He was gracious enough to tell us all about the bike and hook us up with a test ride!
Some of the features that stood out to us:
⚙️ “PowerPlus” Liquid Cooled 108CI V-Twin!
At 108 cubic inches versus the 111 cubic inches of the Power Stroke engine, this is the most powerful Indian motor to date, packing in 122 horsepower and 128 foot-pounds of torque!
⚙️ Fixed Fairing
A fixed fairing promises class-leading wind protection. Combined with Indian's power-adjustable windscreen, we found the wind to be a non-issue on our test ride!
⚙️ Inverted Shocks | Brembo Performance Brakes
The radially mounted racing spec brakes by Brembo, along with the inverted front suspension and adjustable ride make this bike hug the turns!
⚙️ New Ride Command
You know we love tech gadgets and the new Ride Command scratches that itch with several great new features! Along with tire pressure, entertainment system, etc. that we have on Lucile, the Challenger has:
Integrated Cellular Data
Integrated GPS with both Traffic and Weather over-lay (requires active cellular data)
Adjustable Ride Profiles
Impressions
The look of this thing just screams bad-ass and the ride confirms it! I wasn't sure how we'd feel about the fixed fairing and it mounted so much farther in front of us, but that seemed to make no difference in terms of wind. And the ride was just superb! With super-responsive handling, I can tell this thing would LOVE the mountain roads!
If Indian comes out with a touring model with lowers and a trunk, Lucile might be in for a trade!

Love it!!! Absolutely include motorcycle reviews! It's a part of your deal, your experience!!

@davidknows3320 4 года назад

I actually bought a 2019 Roadmaster, traded the Harley in and took advantage of the Heros program. I'm in the same boat,passenger comfort is important. Thanks for your service Brother.

@ChangingLanes 4 года назад

Thanks for watching, David! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊

@lynnsimpson8786 Год назад

Until I started watching your page I didn't know they were still making the Indian. I thought my Dad said they were bought out. I remember him telling of the time he was sneaking a ride on his Dad's and it got away from him. He flew off the back and the bike kept going and went up a tree. But it didn't wreck it. This was back probably around 1950's. Love your channel. Thank you for your service. My brother was a US Marine for 26 years.

@robertkimball8725 4 года назад

Loved this vid. I don't expect you to change, but to include a few from time to time, would be awesome. I ride a Voyager and saw this Challenger in ads and am planning a test ride soon as i can locate one near me. Your vid has made it a must for me to find that test ride. I was looking to upgrade to a Road Glide next year, but that plan may have changed. To see that Indian is getting in there with this bike style is AWESOME. My wife and I took a Master out in '17 and loved it but I am still into my Voyager. The Challenger could change that since my wife has here own bike. Just got her an '18 Heritage Classic in the new Twisted Cherry. She has put more miles on it now in a month than she did on her last, a '16 Honda Shadow Aero. Keep up these GREAT videos. I always look forward to your next. Great riding, Great travels, and look forward to your next vid. MERRY CHRISTMAS, And THANK YOU for your service.

My husband and I love your videos and your RV adventures. My husband loves the Indian Chieftain Darkhorse limited 2018 - 2020 model. Our only challenge, we live in the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago ) and it cost us a lot to import. He also loves the Challenger. Great and honest review of the bike

@royh729 4 года назад

Cool video. You had me at motorcycle video.. Have ridden a 12' Wing out west, up in NE and all over East TN & NC area. If you get a change ride a newer one but take it in the mountains. Brevard, NC has some great rode's leading up to the Blue Ridge PKWY as you know. You can really lay the bike into the curves. I am with you its all about the riding no matter what the label has on the tank.. Take care and be safe on the bike..

@brendamcdonald4555 3 года назад

Great video and review! My boys and I are motorcycle crazy as proven by the 65 bikes owned to date. Have owned everything from MX bikes to full road race bikes to a Honda Goldwing. An RV Toyhauler is the prefect combination for motorcycle nuts. Thank you for the great content!

And that Savana dealership, lifetime power train? Well done! That’s amazing and I hope you’re open a store in Colorado :)

@donald063100 4 года назад

great video very informative , BTW i love the banter back and forth with you and your wife thanks again

@dalewatkins9889 4 года назад

Great video guys....haven't ridden for decades now, as back in my day it was Honda and Yamaha when dating my wife, and now some 35 years later...I'm watching RV video's with motorcycles!! Not sure what that status is on 'Victory' motorcycles, but I saw 'and heard' one some years ago, that was absolutely awesome. Had more of a Harley sound than the Indian....and wasn't a full dresser really, but it sure looked pretty! We've now got a well owned Tiffin Phaeton that moves us around quite nicely, but I love watching your video's as you two hit some pretty nice places and I love your reviews! Prior to this we tried a smaller footprint, with a Ford F450 King Ranch with an Arctic Fox slide in camper...but found it to be too small for long term use, but perfect for shorter 'two - three week holidaying' so one trip to Alaska, then down to Arizona (we live in the Pacific Northwest) we decided things where too cramped, and opted for more comfort to our current coach. So, yes please, add in some motorcycle video every now and then to break things up, but as mentioned, I can't get enough of you two moving about the country and reviewing as you continue to enjoy your adventures!

@jerrymartin8189 4 года назад

Excellent narrative........appreciate so much..........you guys obviously ride a lot......so comments are valued......I plan on retiring soon..and must admit....the Indian Challenger has caught my eye........outstanding engineering.....fit an finish...are top shelf......hopefully I can see one up close here in the Atlanta area soon......be safe.....happy touring......!!....

@vthorseshoe 4 года назад

Many Years back when the original Indian MC company started in Springfield Mass, my father did blue prints for it at New England Blue Print company. (where he was the foreman) My last bike was a Harley Electra Glide Classic, prior to my open heart surgery thanks to the VA of Houston. I had before the Harley, a Honda VTX 1800 then 5 other bikes prior to these two all the way back to age 15. in 1964. (my first being a Kawasaki street/off road legal bike with up sweep pipes/ the pipes were on the right side of the bike knee high with a heat shield for the leg, 55 years ago) Yes please do more motorcycle video's. I have toured the USA myself and your bringing back memories for this 70 yr old Vet. Thanks for great video's Bruce Matthews/ Thonotosassa, Florida

@davidfelger8994 4 года назад

I love the guys at Indian of Savannah! They have absolutely amazing service and genuinely care about their customers. I love my Chieftain but the Challenger does look pretty bad a$$! Not trying to suck up but you two are awesome and my wife and I love your videos! Safe travels

@garydunigan1175 4 года назад

Y’all were at my favorite dealership. My wife and I bought our 2017 RoadMaster there. We were just there this past weekend to pick up some stuff and sorry we missed ya. Maybe we’ll see y’all around. Love the videos.

@jimseidel3577 4 года назад

@ZoomVictory 4 года назад

I ride a Victory Motorcycle and love it. It is my second Victory and I put 120,000 miles on the first one and 55,000 miles on the second. If the Indian Motorcycles are as reliable as the Victory it will be a huge success. I have been looking at the Challenger but I just sold my toyhauler travel trailer for more room in a Grand Design 5th wheel. I miss it already!

@waynesiminski8268 4 года назад

We ride a touring package bike also, HD Road Glide Ultra, so understand how it is being used to having the luxury passenger seating and storage. The Challenger is a cool ride tho and they are gonna sell a ton of em. I’m sure they will come out with more and more accessories as the sales increase. Another top shelf video guys. Thanks

@jayb1292 4 года назад

@jasonbergeron6347 4 года назад

Great vid guys! I'm a Harley guy myself. We have a 2011 HD Screamin Eagle Streetglide. Absolutely love it. Indian has made a solid come back. Their design lines are very sweet. This Challenger model resembles the HD Roadglide with the rigid shark nose fairing. I love this video production idea of yours to showcase rides, dealerships, and other motorcycle brands. Our RU-vid channel is getting ready to start featuring more than flying. We are going to add camping trips with our Airstream, and scuba diving. A little something from all of our interests and hobbies. So I think its a great idea. Cheers!

@jimtomstimpson1477 4 года назад

I can't wait to test ride this bike! But, Like you guys, we need the trunk all of the time and I am happy with Chief Red Cloud (our 2017 RM) . They will put a trunk on the Challenger in the next model year. This will probably be our next bike. And a lifetime powertrain warranty is a big deal to me, also the live traffic and weather overlay is huge. Thank you for the review!

@ChangingLanes 4 года назад

Apparently the roadmaster trunk fits! 👍🏼 Still no lowers, but part way there.. 😊

@jimtomstimpson1477 4 года назад

also, I think they need to put more consideration into the passenger portion of the seat for the full dresser version. That tapered gunfighter style rear section looks good but can't be as comfortable as the wider Roadmaster seat.

@ChangingLanes 4 года назад

Very true... I'm sure Mustang Seats is already working on one. 😊

@paulhap 4 года назад

You guys are the BEST! Please keep your videos coming!

@PaulOnTheRun 4 года назад

I’m a road glide fan boy so naturally that fixed fairing appeals to me. I like what Indian has done with the Challenger. wish I had enough money to own both. Simple as that for me. Great review btw.

@cbrippee 4 года назад

Really liked your video, someone posted it up on a Victory Blog. 95 percent of reviewers, and their are many, are super positive on this new Challenger. I understand your touring needs. I would suspect that by next fall Indian will have the touring model of this Challenger, or soon anyway. I have a small honda scooter, but my main ride is a Victory Cross Country, so give me a wave should we pass. Thanks for your service and your wife is a darling.

@jeffpalmer5502 4 года назад

Nice , pretty sure I saw this engine on the prototype of the next Victory xc. This shares the same frame , swing arm, front forks, starter, mbe valves , legroom, cornering, and that water cooled upgrade is awesome! I’ll bet that seat will even bolt on my xc, Sweet. Can’t wait for the tour model.And to see what Lloydz does with it ! Great video ! Ride on !

Yes on the riding videos! About the only thing I can agree on with you this time is yes, that was a good song. This bike? Blech... For heavy weight, fixed fairing cruiser/touring bike - Road Glide all the way. Just for fun now go test ride a new Road Glide Limited. I already know which one Tara will like better! :) Ride safe...

One last note: Go Army, Beat Navy!!!

@ChangingLanes 4 года назад

I just stopped by the Lakeland, FL Indian dealership yesterday. After seeing the Challenger in person, I am sold, just waiting to see if they offer a trunk, we are spoiled by the extra storage, the wide backrest, and of course the extra speakers. Hopefully it will be offered when we are ready to buy next year.
