Indian Motorcycle has updated itis product portfolio with two shiny new motorcycles. Indian Motorcycle, the iconic American brand known for its heritage cruisers and touring motorcycles, has announced two new limited-edition models for 2025 — the Indian Challenger Elite and the Indian Pursuit Elite.

Its standout design features a tri-tone paint scheme combining Black Candy, Red Candy, and Crystal White Pearl Satin, finished with hand-painted fades and exclusive badging. Each unit is individually numbered and includes a tribute to Walker's historic race bike. The Indian Pursuit Elite draws its styling from the 1916 PowerPlus motorcycles that were supplied to the U.S. Army. It comes in Black Candy and Black Forest Candy shades with hand-painted Championship Gold accents, along with custom badging and numbering for each unit.
