Features

THUNDERSTROKE 116 V-TWIN: Drawing external design inspiration from the rich heritage of Indian Motorcycle’s past, the air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 produces 126 ft-lbs of raw torque for passing power in all 6 gears.
STYLED WITH AN EDGE: Premium black finishes, a sleek fairing, saddlebags, and gunfighter style seat deliver a streamlined, commanding presence. A lowered stance and LED lighting from nose to tail complete the custom-inspired look.
HIGH-OUTPUT SPEAKERS: Hear every note with high-output speakers that deliver up to 400 watts of crystal-clear audio—200 watts of PowerBand Audio integrated into the fairing and another 200 watts from the saddlebags. The dynamic equalizer automatically adjusts for road, wind, and engine noise so you never miss a beat.
AGILE HANDLING AND CONTROL: Low seat height, ergonomically-designed controls, and a lightweight cast aluminum frame come together for responsive handling and agile cornering - providing a confidence inspiring ride for riders across the board.
ADJUSTABLE WINDSHIELD: With the push of a handlebar-mounted button, this windshield will raise or lower to your preferred position for optimal airflow whether on highways or backroads.
SECURE STORAGE: Keep your cargo protected from the elements with 18+ gallons of weatherproof storage in power-locking saddlebags.
RIDE & OWNERSHIP ENHANCEMENTS: Integrated into the dash, the 7" Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND, offers GPS navigation, Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth® connection, and other ride-enhancing features for effortless cruising. Go beyond the ride and elevate ownership with RIDE COMMAND+ connected technology with features like Account Sync and more.
