Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have some experience handling big, heavy cruisers at low speed.
Purpose	Built for relaxed, torque-driven boulevard cruising and classic American styling rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height helps shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands confident strength when maneuvering at a standstill or in tight parking situations.
Character	A traditional, big-twin cruiser with deep torque delivery, laid-back ergonomics, and classic Indian styling cues.
Not Ideal For	Not a good match for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 692mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Indian Chief Classic, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Oct 2019 · 19V776000

Indian Motorcycle Company (Indian) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Chief, Chieftain, Roadmaster, and Springfield motorcycles. The gear position switch contacts may oxidize, causing the gear position display to inaccurately show that the motorcycle is in neutral when it is actually in gear.

Risk: If the transmission is not in neutral when the motorcycle is started, the motorcycle may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the switch free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2020. Owners may contact Indian customer service at 1-877-204-3697. Indian's number for this recall is I-19-03.
