Indian Motorcycle announces the Indian Springfield

Indian Motorcycle is proud to reveal a new 2016 motorcycle – the #indian #springfield.

Named after the birthplace of #indian Motorcycle and designed for a pure touring experience, the #indian #springfield features a removable quick-release windshield and hard, all-weather, remote-locking saddlebags (also removable).

It means that the #indian #springfield can be ridden as a fully-loaded touring model or stripped down into a cruiser by removing the windshield and saddlebags, offering the ultimate versatility.

Set up for touring with the saddlebags and windshield on…and turns in to a cruiser when the saddlebags and windshield are taken off

While maintaining the style and luxury that #indian Motorcycle is known for, the #indian #springfield carves out its own niche in the bagger and touring category.

On the surface, it appears closely related to the #indian Chief Vintage (the most iconic-styled bagger in the Chief line-up), however #springfield was developed with a completely different, trunk-compatible chassis that allows for carrying higher loads.

Designed for an un-obstructed view of the road ahead, the #indian #springfield has a model-specific quick-release windshield that creates a large air pocket for the rider and passenger.

Comfort features, such as a rear buckhorn bar and adjustable passenger floorboards, come as standard along with the confidence-inspiring Anti-Lock Brakes, a tyre pressure monitoring system, electronic cruise control, powerful headlight and dual riding lights.

Standard front and rear highway bars allow for the mounting of accessories and offer protection in a tip-over scenario.

Brightly chromed forks, headlight housing, fender trim, engine covers, exhaust and handlebars with internal wiring bring the shine along for the ride.

The tank-mounted gauges help manage information needed for the long haul including a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator, cruise control indicator, tachometer, electronic speedometer with odometer, fuel gauge, dual trip meters, clock and more.

The #indian #springfield is available in Thunder Black and #indian Motorcycle Red.

Powered by the highly regarded Thunder Stroke 111 engine, the #indian #springfield features 139 Nm of torque to ride any highway in any weather.

Featuring a left side air intake, parallel pushrod tubes and down-firing exhausts, the Thunder Stroke 111 delivers not only the signature style for #indian Motorcycles, but does so with very little maintenance. With a direct gear-driven primary, a semi-dry sump oiling system that goes 8,000 km between changes, and a host of low or no maintenance features, this is one powerplant that increases valuable touring time.

A few short minutes will allow the motorcycle to be converted into a sharp handling solo ride.

The quick release windscreen and saddlebags can be removed without tools or leaving behind ugly mounting hardware.

The split seat, featuring a unique stitch pattern, can likewise be trimmed down to create a tight and low solo look, giving the #indian #springfield a truly dual personality.

The unique chassis was designed to handle a wide load range. Featuring cartridge forks and an air-adjustable rear shock with 11.43cm (4.5 inches) of travel, the #indian #springfield is capable of carrying up to 242kg (533lb) for those trips that have an endless horizon.

The brakes feature a semi-floating design and steel braided brake lines to increase performance, lever feel and confidence. A high-resolution ABS system allows for smoother deceleration in both wet surface and aggressive braking in high-traction scenarios.

Touring comfort and convenience can be further augmented with a full line of accessories including a tall and low windshield, heated driver and passenger seats, soft lowers and heated grips to keep riders comfortable in cool temperatures.

The colour-matched accessory trunk adds 64 litres (17 US gallons
) of capacity and the leather highway bar wraps provide an element of style to the front of the motorcycle.

A performance exhaust made by Remus is available for a throatier exhaust note.

“The new #indian #springfield wasn’t designed to fill a space in our lineup; it was built to fill a space in the hearts of riders who value the rich heritage and fine craftsmanship of #indian Motorcycle and who want both a pure touring bike and a sleek urban cruiser,” said Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. “The Springfield’s unmatched versatility will win the hearts of motorcycling purists around the world.”

The #indian #springfield starts at €27,000 in Thunder Black and in #indian Motorcycle Red.

The #indian #springfield comes with a five-year promotional warranty* (*specific conditions apply) and as with all new #indian Motorcycles, includes free membership in the #indian Motorcycle Riders Group for one year.
