Chieftain Dark Horse

Colour

Streamlined, blacked-out style with proven performance.

This bagger’s streamlined look matches its impressive performance capabilities. It’s powerful, loud and loaded with ride-enhancing technology.

THUNDERSTROKE 116 V-TWIN ENGINE

The air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 engine produces 171 Nm of torque for exceptional power at low RPM and a smooth ride at any speed.

STYLED WITH AN EDGE

Blacked-out finishes, a sleek fairing, slammed saddlebags, and Rogue seat deliver a streamlined, commanding presence.

Modern. Mean.

LED lighting from nose to tail and a lowered stance complete the custom-inspired look.

Made to Outperform

The Chieftain Dark Horse combines superior power and agile handling to deliver a confident, high-performance ride.

BEATS FOR THE STREETS

Hear every note with high-output speakers in the fairing that deliver 100-watts of crystal-clear audio. And the dynamic equaliser automatically adjusts for road, wind, and engine noise.

AGILE HANDLING AND CONTROL

Low seat height, ergonomically-designed controls, and a lightweight cast aluminium frame come together for responsive handling and agile cornering - providing a confidence inspiring ride for riders across the board.

RIDE IN COMFORT, YOUR WAY

Choose between three ride modes, Tour, Standard, and Sport, for an experience that's customised to your riding style. Rear Cylinder Deactivation automatically shuts off the rear cylinder when the bike is stopped for enhanced comfort in slow-moving traffic.
