2026 Indian Motorcycle Challenger 125th Anniversary Edition

Draped in 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal, this 2026 Indian Motorcycle® Challenger 125th Anniversary Edition looks like it rolled out of a celebration and straight onto the open highway. It’s a bagger with serious touring intent—long, low, and ready to turn a simple weekend escape into a full-on tradition.



At its heart is the liquid-cooled PowerPlus V Twin: 1,834 cc of 4-stroke muscle that brings the party with 126 bhp and a road-smoothing wave of 133 ft-lbs of torque at 3,800 rpm. Twist the grip and it doesn’t just accelerate—it surges, confidently and cleanly, backed by fuel injection with 52 mm injectors. A 6-speed manual keeps you connected to the ride, while the belt drive to the rear wheel adds that calm, composed feel mile after mile.



The stance is made for covering ground: a 65.7-inch wheelbase, 25° rake, and 5.9 inches of trail give it stability that feels reassuring when the horizon is your only plan. Up front, a 43 mm telescopic fork delivers 4.7 inches of travel, while the twin-sided swing arm rear setup provides 2 inches of travel with adjustable preload and air adjustability—so you can dial it in whether you’re solo or two-up. At 26.5 inches of seat height, the one-piece leather seat keeps both rider and passenger comfortably in the mix.



Handling and grip come courtesy of Pirelli® MT60RS rubber—130/60B19 front and 180/80B16 rear—wrapped around aluminum wheels with a chromed finish. When it’s time to rein things in, Brembo® brakes do the job with dual 320 mm front discs and a 298 mm rear disc.



Touring isn’t just about distance—it’s about arriving fresh. You’ve got 6 gallons of fuel capacity for long legs between stops, plus two side cases offering 18 gallons (79.3 L) of storage for the gear that turns “ride” into “road trip.”



And when the miles need a soundtrack, the PowerBand® audio system with four speakers, Bluetooth® audio, and handlebar controls keeps the vibe rolling—while RIDE COMMAND™ GPS helps you choose the scenic way home.
