Overview
Introducing the 2021 Indian Roadmaster Elite—a pinnacle of touring luxury that encapsulates the spirit of the open road. Priced at an MSRP of $38,999, this motorcycle is designed for those who demand elegance alongside performance. With its rich heritage and attention to detail, the Roadmaster Elite stands as a flagship offering in Indian Motorcycle's touring lineup, appealing to riders who value comfort, advanced technology, and a truly immersive riding experience. At the heart of the Roadmaster Elite is a robust 1901 cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a remarkable 92 horsepower and an impressive 170.9 Nm of torque at just 2900 RPM. This powerful engine is coupled with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, ensuring a seamless ride whether you're navigating city streets or cruising down the highway.

Together with its 405 kg weight, the Roadmaster Elite provides a balanced and stable ride, allowing you to conquer long distances without fatigue. Beyond its impressive powertrain, the Roadmaster Elite is packed with features that enhance both convenience and comfort. The 7-inch touchscreen display provides intuitive access to navigation, music, and ride statistics, while the keyless ignition system adds a layer of modern convenience. Riders will appreciate the heated grips and adjustable passenger floorboards, ensuring that both rider and passenger enjoy the journey. With ABS-equipped brakes, a telescopic front fork, and a rear air-adjustable shock, the suspension system is finely tuned for a plush ride. The motorcycle also comes equipped with tire pressure monitoring, making it easier to keep track of your bike’s health on long trips. **
Pros
- Performance and Comfort: The powerful V2 engine delivers impressive torque and horsepower, making it ideal for long-distance touring.
- Advanced Technology: The 7-inch touchscreen interface and various electronic features enhance the riding experience, offering convenience and control.
- Luxurious Features: Heated grips, adjustable passenger footboards, and a visually striking design elevate the Roadmaster Elite above typical touring motorcycles.
Cons
- Weight: At nearly 925 pounds with fluids, the Roadmaster Elite may be cumbersome for some riders, particularly in tight maneuvers or during parking.
- Price Tag: With an MSRP of $38,999, it is on the higher end of the touring motorcycle market, which might be a barrier for some enthusiasts.
