Defining opulence on two wheels

The Roadmaster has always been the cream of the crop from Indian motorcycles and has constantly been raising the bar for comfort, convenience, power, style, infotainment, craftsmanship and most important of all - confidence. Being the best money can buy is not easy but this pulls it off with all bells and whistles every single time.

The same will be repeated for the 2019 edition where it receives a fresh sleaze of technology under its belt that enhances riding experience to an all new level. New Ride-Enhancing Technology like ride modes, rear cylinder de-activation, improved airflow and enhanced audio systems improves performance, comfort, and audio quality.

STYLING

Bright, brash and power are what oozes out when you have a look at this Roadmaster. It is huge. No getting around that. Huge handlebar mounted fairings which look like the 50’s steamliner locomotives adds to the gigantic stature of this motorcycle. Chunky round LED headlight and fog lamps.
It holds true to its pedigree with its design and makes it its purpose to let you ride in style. It offers a wealth of features to roll as one of the most badass V-twin on the market. Features like the electronically adjustable tinted windshield that rises 9 to 12 inches to cover most riders from the buffeting wind.

Comes with keyless ignition, remote sadlebag locking
For 2019, it gets redesigned lower fairings with adjustable airflow vents to provide significantly more airflow to the rider. The vents can be opened or closed manually for total weather protection. Talking of comfort, you can even lock and unlock the bags with a remote which also acts as a keyless ignition. An automatic trunk release for you and a start-stop button. Fancy stuff.

The industry-leading Ride Command system also gets an update this time. It includes an explosive AM/FM, Bluetooth, USB, Smartphone Compatible 100 watt stereo boom box. For 2019, the tweeters have been separated from the mid-range speakers, and a fully customizable dynamic equalizer now adjusts specific frequencies at different vehicle speeds.

Lit up War Bonnet
The speakers are flanked beside a neatly tucked in multi-functional displays having a 7 inch split touchscreen for GPS and classical analog trip meters including a fuel gauge. You also get speakers for the rear passenger on flanking the saddle and on top of the saddle cases.
The dash also includes dual trip meters with distance and time, instantaneous and average fuel economy, fuel range, real-time clock, ambient air temperature, gear position display, front and rear tire pressure, engine hours of operation, engine oil life percentage, average speed, battery voltage, radio information display, vehicle trouble code readout, heated grip level, 15 LED telltale indicators, cruise control set, neutral, high beam, turn signal, ABS, check engine, low tire pressure, battery, low fuel, security system, low engine oil pressure and MPH or km/h unit designation. Phew.



Also get speakers for the rear passenger
Continuing towards the tank, you get additional switches to operate the top-loading saddlebags and to set yourself a heated handgrip. It also has twin analog console for fuel level and voltage. The saddlebags themselves will carry 22 lbs each and can be unmounted with a quick-release lever. This being a Roadmaster, you obviously get 37 gallons of weatherproof storage trunk, fairings, and lower storage units.
And of course, there is chrome. Lots of it. Finally, there is nothing better than having a lit up War Bonnet leading the way for you. It can sure take your breath away. Representing phenomena since 1947. The new lowers can be retrofit to bikes from past model years with the addition of new highway bars.
