Forging new legends: Indian Motorcycle’s MY17 line-up in EMEA

The headline news is the addition of the new touchscreen infotainment system called ‘Ride Command’ to the Chieftain and the Roadmaster (comes as standard).

Scout Sixty can now be modified to be A2 licence compliant.

And the remaining line-up is now available in previously-never-seen-before colour schemes.

In Indian’s ‘mid-size segment’, the Scout Sixty and the Scout have both had technical updates, namely:

Recalibrated rear shocks
Improved looks for the wiring harness
A redesigned rear header exhaust pipe – for more leg clearance
A swingarm bearing cover has been added on both sides
Increased steering lock

Ride Command Ride Command is a new 7 inch touchscreen that’s integrated as standard into the dash of the 2017 Roadmaster and Chieftain models. It has the best display in the industry, is the easiest to use and has customisable split-screens.

Indian Motorcycle's marketing director, Reid Wilson says: "We've put considerable time and effort in to developing this touchscreen system and we know that riders are going to seriously impressed by the way they can customise screens with the information that's important to them. Not only will they be able to get to where they want more safely and with more confidence, they'll be able to do this while making the most of Ride Command's ability to link up to their smartphone to listen to music or take a call.” At 7 inches, Ride Command is the largest infotainment display in the industry with the highest resolution (800 x 480 pixels), the brightest screen (twice as bright as some of the brightest smart phones on the market) and the fastest response time (ready in 10 seconds following key-on activation). Ride Command links up through Indian Motorcycle’s premium audio system (100 watts on Chieftain and 200 watts on Roadmaster). Offering an easy-to-read touchscreen located in close proximity to the rider, the Ride Command system offers the most intuitive infotainment interface on two wheels, with modes/shortcuts easily available (through five large push-buttons). The touchscreen has two-finger touch capabilities featuring a glove-accepting, pinch-to-zoom capability just like a smart phone.

Carrying a Bluetooth-enabled phone or headset? If you are, then Ride Command offers the easiest and fastest pairing to your device for quick, seamless integration into the touring experience.

Alternatively, use buttons located below the screen or on the handlebar that are both connected to the touchscreen display. Use the controls to manipulate audio controls, accept and reject phone calls and navigate through screens. See the information you want the way you want it, when you want. Featuring more vehicle information than available in any system on two wheels, Ride Command can be customised to show eight different screen options that can be used in any combination. Choose from:

Vehicle Status (tyre pressure, voltage, engine hours, oil change)
Vehicle Info (speed, fuel range, RPM, gear position)
Trip 1 (fuel range, miles, average fuel economy, instantaneous fuel economy time, average speed)
Trip 2 (fuel range, miles, average fuel economy, instantaneous fuel economy time, average speed)
Ride Data (heading, moving time, stop time, altitude, altitude change)
Audio
Bluetooth
Map/Navigation
