#Powerplus

Indian officially pulled the wraps off its expanded PowerPlus touring family, adding two fork-mounted fairing variants and introducing a larger 112ci version of the liquid-cooled engine.

Indian is teasing a new 2025 model review presentation on January 24 for the “new PowerPlus family”. Based on what we know thus far, we expect the presentation to include new liquid-cooled versions of the Roadmaster and Chieftain, joining the PowerPlus-engined Challenger and Pursuit.

Motorcycle.com can confirm that Indian is preparing liquid-cooled versions of the Roadmaster and Chieftain for 2025, possibly using a new 1,834cc (112ci) version of the PowerPlus engine that currently powers the Challenger and Pursuit models.

A video teasing a new 2020 Indian Challenger and its liquid-cooled engine has leaked out of this past weekend’s Indian dealer meeting. The 42-second video was uploaded to Facebook by a dealer (which will likely receive a panicked call from Polaris any minute now) and offers look at the engine and how it sounds.

By the early 1900s, some 300 different U.S. motorcycle manufacturers had jumped on the bandwagon of two-wheeled powered flight. While some tried steam or electricity, it was the internal combustion engine that got things burbling.
