The Chieftain was Indian's first fork-mounted-fairing tourer under Polaris ownership, pairing the Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin with a power-adjustable windshield, lockable hard bags and a digital dash. It kept the brand's valanced fenders and War Bonnet light for a heritage look while adding keyless start, ABS, cruise control and Bluetooth audio. These 2015-16 bikes ride on 16-inch wire wheels.
