Introduced for the 2022 model year, this premium touring model marked Indian Motorcycle’s entry into a new liquid-cooled performance-touring family. It arrived as part of the all-new Pursuit lineup, alongside a darker counterpart, and was positioned as a fully equipped long-distance machine with a chassis-mounted fairing, trunk, hard saddlebags, and an emphasis on comfort, technology, and weather protection. Indian’s launch materials for 2022 made clear that the new model was a fresh addition to the brand’s range rather than a continuation of an older touring nameplate.
Historically, the bike is closely related to the Challenger platform, sharing the same general performance-touring architecture and PowerPlus-based engineering approach. That gave it a more modern character than Indian’s traditional air-cooled touring lineup, while still keeping the brand’s distinctive American bagger look. From the start, it was aimed at riders who wanted a luxury touring motorcycle with strong road manners, integrated luggage, and a more contemporary engine layout than the company’s classic Thunderstroke models.
Over time, the model line has remained in regular production and continued to evolve through annual updates, accessories, and package changes. Indian Motorcycle has kept it in the current lineup through the 2026 model year, which indicates that the nameplate is still active and has not ended. The result is a relatively new but important part of Indian’s modern touring strategy: a premium, long-haul motorcycle that bridges traditional V-twin styling and contemporary performance technology.
