The Indian Chief Bobber is a cruiser motorcycle from Indian Motorcycle. It is currently on sale. Cruisers are built for relaxed riding, typically with a low seat, a laid-back posture and an engine that pulls from low revs. With a 1,890 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.
Power comes from a 1,890 cc air-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 156 Nm of torque at 3,300 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 3,300 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its stroke is longer than its bore (103.2 mm x 113 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. It has electric start.
It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
Suspension is by telescopic fork / 132 mm at the front and dual shocks w/ adjustable preload / 75 mm at the rear. Braking is by a 300 mm disc at the front and a 300 mm disc at the rear. It rides on 16-inch spoke wheels — 130/60-16 at the front and 180/65-16 at the rear.
The seat is 662 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 315 kg ready to ride, which is heavy, so parking and tight U-turns need care. Ground clearance is 125 mm — low, so take speed breakers and steep ramps slowly. It is 2,286 mm long, with 1,626 mm between the axles. It carries 15.1 L of fuel.
Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console and an LED headlamp. Safety equipment includes low fuel indicator.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹19,999
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 300 mm and Disc, 300 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 130/60-16 / 180/65-16 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
