MODEL HISTORY

The Story of the Chieftain Dark Horse

Introduced for the 2017 model year, this blacked-out touring bagger was added to Indian Motorcycle’s modern full-size lineup as a darker, more aggressively styled version of the standard touring platform. It arrived as part of the brand’s expanding post-relaunch family and quickly became one of the key trim paths in the company’s bagger range. Official model-year pages show the nameplate in 2017, and Indian later highlighted it again in its 2018 lineup announcement, confirming that the model carried forward rather than appearing as a one-off special. Over time, it remained positioned as the more stripped-down, custom-inspired alternative to the brighter, chrome-heavy versions in the same family, with a strong emphasis on blackout treatment and long-distance touring comfort. The nameplate is still listed in Indian Motorcycle’s current lineup, so its production run is ongoing rather than closed.
