The American classic motorcycle manufacturer Indian has unveiled its new motorcycle Challenger for 2020. Indian Challenger gets a new liquid-cooled V-twin engine. The new touring motorcycle gets three variants – Standard, Dark Horse, and Limited edition.
Indian Challenger derives its propulsion force from a new ‘Power Plus’ liquid-cooled 1769cc V-twin engine which pumps out 122bhp and massive 173.5Nm torque.

Keyless entry also comes standard which is a feature found in cars.
