The 2025 Indian Challenger Elite and Pursuit Elite feature special paint schemes and are individually detailed by hand. Each model reflects a different chapter of Indian Motorcycle’s heritage.

Indian Challenger Elite

Limited to 350 units globally

The Challenger Elite honours racing legend Gene “Alabama Flash” Walker, who had set a land-speed record in 1920 on his Indian PowerPlus and was considered the “fastest man alive”. 

The Challenger Elite features a bespoke white and red paint scheme, with a black band distinguishing the top white section from the bottom red. Indian has also used subtle touches such as shimmering glass particles in the paint, exclusive badging and individually numbered consoles to highlight the limited-edition nature of both models.

Indian Pursuit Elite

Limited to 250 units globally

The Indian Pursuit Elite nods to the brand’s military heritage, referencing the 20,000 PowerPlus motorcycles supplied to the U.S. Army in 1916.

It comes with a dual-tone black and green paint scheme with hand-painted gold accents. Premium Dark Horse finishes, PowerPlus 112 engine covers, Elite badging, and an individually numbered console mark it out as a limited-run model.

Engine and power

Both the Elite models are powered by the same 1,834cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine producing 126hp and 181.4Nm and mated to a 6-speed gearbox.  

In terms of features, the Challenger Elite and Pursuit Elite come equipped with a host of advanced electronics. They feature a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay for navigation, music control and bike settings. They also have keyless ignition, adaptive LED headlights, cruise control, electronically adjustable windshield and electronically adjustable preload for the rear suspension. 

Safety features include cornering ABS and traction control, blind-spot warning, hill-hold control and radar-based rear collision warning. As is the case with most baggers, both models include a 100-watt audio system with up to six speakers. 

While both of these bespoke models are listed on the brand’s India website, it remains to be seen whether any of the units make their way to our country.
