The company has already initiated bookings for the new Indian, with deliveries promised from August this year. The new Indian will be available with two colour options.

"The launch is part of the company’s strategy to introduce products which would help Indian Motorcycle grow in India," he added. The company claims that the Indian Springfield can deliver 138.9 Nm of torque at 2,600 rpm with the Thunder Stroke 111 engine.

The bike, Indian Motorcycle says, can handle both on- and off-road riding and gets electronic cruise control.. The chassis features cartridge forks and an air-adjustable rear shock.

The bike gets a bespoke quick-release windshield, remote locking hard bags, and adjustable passenger floorboards. For safety, the new Indian gets anti-lock brakes.
