About Indian Springfield 2016
Introducing the 2016 Indian Springfield, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of American touring while paying homage to the rich heritage of the Indian Motorcycle brand. Positioned in the touring category, the Springfield is designed for riders seeking a blend of comfort, style, and performance for long-distance journeys. With a price tag of $20,999 (subject to variations based on country and additional accessories), this bike stands as a compelling choice for those who appreciate both classic aesthetics and modern engineering.
At the heart of the Springfield lies a robust 1811cc V2 engine, generating a formidable 161.6 Nm of torque at just 3,000 RPM. This powerplant, with its 9.5:1 compression ratio, ensures a thrilling ride whether you're navigating city streets or cruising down the highway. The six-speed gearbox delivers smooth transitions, allowing riders to harness the engine's power efficiently. Coupled with a belt final drive and a wet multi-plate clutch, the Springfield offers a riding experience that's both responsive and exhilarating. The air-cooled design keeps the engine running smoothly, even on the longest rides, while the comfortable seating and relaxed riding position make it ideal for hours in the saddle.
The Indian Springfield is packed with features that enhance both functionality and rider experience. Its cast aluminum frame integrates an air-box, contributing to a lighter overall weight of 372 kg (820 pounds) without fluids, which aids in maneuverability. The advanced braking system features ABS with double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring optimal stopping power and safety. The telescopic front forks and single rear shock provide a plush ride, absorbing bumps along the way. Additional touches like the electric starter and a stylish windscreen make this motorcycle not only practical but also a delight to ride. With options in striking black or bold red, the Springfield is designed to turn heads as it glides down the road.
