Indian Challenger Limited 2020

Indian cultivates its tradition and yet always tries something new. The Challenger Limited is already recognisable as a modern edition of a classic excavator by its slightly more angular fairing. With 122 hp and 178 Newton metres of torque, the engine is really powerful, and the comfortable chassis can handle not only rough bumps but also a sportier pace. Only the brakes are good, but then need a lot of manual force to decelerate the almost 400 kilograms of road-ready weight at a brisk pace. The electrically height-adjustable windshield is ingenious, turning the Challenger-Bagger into a Challenger-Tourer!
