Yes—while cruisers are rooted in classic design, many models offer modern tech like RIDE COMMAND, Bluetooth® audio, keyless ignition, USB charging, LED lighting, ride modes, and rear cylinder deactivation. These bikes deliver comfort and confidence without compromising style.

Indian Motorcycle cruisers are powered by either the liquid-cooled 1250cc or 999cc engine (in the Scout lineup) or the air-cooled Thunderstroke 111/116 V-Twin (in the Chief lineup), offering a range of performance from responsive and nimble to torque-rich and thunderous.

The Scout is more compact, lightweight, and beginner-friendly, with a liquid-cooled engine ideal for urban or short-distance riding. The Chief is larger, uses an air-cooled engine, and offers more torque and classic cruiser styling—great for riders who want a bolder, more powerful experience.

While cruisers are more compact than baggers, many models can be equipped with passenger seats, backrests, and foot pegs for added two-up comfort. Accessories make it easy to tailor your ride to solo or shared adventures.
