Indian Motorcycle just dropped the pricing bomb we’ve all been waiting for—their 2025 heavyweight cruiser lineup is here, and the iconic Chief series kicks off at Rs 23.52 lakh (ex-showroom). Yeah, it’s not pocket change, but then again, we’re talking about proper American muscle here.
The folks at Indian have finally put numbers on their latest heavyweight offerings, covering five distinct series that honestly make most other bikes look like toys in comparison. We’re talking Chief, Chieftain, Challenger, Pursuit, and Roadmaster—each one representing what happens when American engineering meets that unmistakable rumble. These prices are live at dealerships right now, though if you’re holding out for Scout pricing, you’ll need to wait a bit longer.
Price Breakdown Across the Range
Look, Indian’s never been about building budget bikes, and their 2025 pricing reflects exactly that philosophy. Here’s how the money stacks up:
| Model | Starting Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Chief | Rs 23.52 lakh |
| Challenger | Rs 36.12 lakh |
| Chieftain | Rs 37.11 lakh |
| Springfield | Rs 41.96 lakh |
| Pursuit | Rs 43.19 lakh |
| Roadmaster | Rs 48.49 lakh |
The Chief series is basically your entry ticket to the big leagues—and by entry, I mean it still costs more than most people’s cars. But you get six variants to choose from, including the menacing Chief Dark Horse and the stripped-down Chief Bobber Dark Horse. Every single one packs that massive 1,890cc V-twin Thunder Stroke engine that churns out 156 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. It’s the kind of engine that announces your arrival three blocks before you actually show up.

Performance and Engine Options
Now, if the Chief doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping enough, the Challenger series might be your poison. Starting at Rs 36.12 lakh, these machines come with a liquid-cooled 1,768cc V-twin that’s good for 178 Nm at 3,800 rpm. But here’s where it gets interesting—opt for the 112 Package variants and you’re looking at 1,834cc of pure American fury delivering 181.4 Nm of twist.
The Chieftain range sits just a whisker above the Challenger in terms of pricing, starting at Rs 37.11 lakh. Four variants here, including the sinister Chieftain Dark Horse and the premium Chieftain Limited models. The Powerplus variants? Well, let’s just say they’re not for the faint-hearted.
Safety Gets a Tech Upgrade
Here’s something that’ll surprise you—the 2025 Chieftain and Challenger families aren’t just about looking cool and making noise. Indian’s gone ahead and borrowed some serious safety tech from the four-wheeler world. We’re talking Blind Spot Warning, Tailgate Warning, and Rear Collision Warning systems, all accessible through that gorgeous 7-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen.
The magic happens thanks to a Bosch-sourced sensor unit that sits above your license plate. It’ll give you two-stage warnings when someone’s tailgating and even flash your brake lights automatically if it detects a car approaching too fast from behind. Pretty neat stuff for a motorcycle, honestly.
What’s Still Coming
Now, before you start planning your EMI calculations, there’s a catch. Indian’s keeping us in suspense about Scout pricing—you know, the bikes that won’t require selling a kidney. They’ve promised to announce Scout prices “shortly,” which in motorcycle manufacturer speak could mean anything from next week to next month.
Lalit Sharma, the Managing Director of Polaris India, put it pretty well: “Our heavyweight motorcycles have always stood for power, prestige, and the spirit of the open road.” He’s not wrong—these aren’t just bikes, they’re statements on two wheels.
The timing’s actually perfect for Indian. The premium motorcycle segment in India is growing faster than Mumbai traffic during rush hour, and there’s clearly an appetite for machines that cost more than most people’s annual salary. With financing options available through dealerships and a whole catalog of genuine accessories for personalization, Indian’s clearly betting on riders who want to graduate from their 400cc machines to something with proper American DNA.
