2025 Indian Challenger Elite, Pursuit Elite Limited Editions: Design

Indian Motorcycle has unveiled the 2025 editions of its Challenger Elite and Pursuit Elite models – two limited-run luxury tourers built to reflect the brand’s historic legacy and modern engineering prowess. The Challenger Elite draws inspiration from the legendary racer Gene “Alabama Flash” Walker, who made headlines in 1920 riding an Indian PowerPlus to earn the title of the fastest man alive. The motorcycle wears a striking red-and-white colour scheme divided by a bold black stripe, enhanced with metallic glass elements and exclusive emblems. Every unit is individually numbered, reinforcing its rarity.

The Pursuit Elite, meanwhile, nods to Indian's military history, commemorating the delivery of 20,000 PowerPlus bikes to the U.S. Army in 1916. It arrives dressed in a military-inspired black and green combination, accented with hand-detailed gold striping, Dark Horse elements, and distinctive PowerPlus engine casings. Like its counterpart, it also sports a numbered console, confirming its limited-edition status.
