🚨 MAJOR LIFE UPGRADE ALERT 🚨
A few years ago, James rolled out of Lloydz IMC on a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball… and honestly, at the time, we thought he had reached peak badassery. 😎
That Cross Country was no slouch:
🔥 106 cubic inch Freedom V-Twin
🔥 Around 92 HP
🔥 Classic slammed bagger style
🔥 Couch-on-wheels comfort
🔥 Enough torque to make small children point and grown men jealous
BUT…
This year James came in looking at a Harley-Davidson because the price was right, and he figured there was NO WAY we had an Indian that could touch that budget. He wanted an Indian… but thought it might stay a dream.
And then…
💥 HE SAW THE CHALLENGER. 💥
The moment he laid eyes on this absolute weaponized freedom machine, you could literally SEE the excitement hit him. Suddenly the Harley conversation disappeared faster than gas station hot dogs at Sturgis.
And honestly… can you blame him?!
The Indian Challenger isn’t just an upgrade — it’s basically the final evolution form.
🏁 Victory Cross Country 8-Ball:
• Air-cooled 106ci Freedom motor
• ~92 horsepower
• Traditional frame-mounted touring setup
• Great bike for its era
🦅 Indian Challenger:
• Liquid-cooled PowerPlus 108 engine
• 122 HORSEPOWER 😳
• 128 ft-lbs of torque
• Inverted front suspension
• Aluminum cast frame
• Ride modes + modern tech everywhere
• Carves corners like a sport bike disguised as a bagger
• Basically a cruise missile with saddlebags
This thing is smoother, faster, more responsive, more comfortable, and flat-out MEANER in every possible way. The Challenger is what happens when engineers ask themselves:
“What if we built a touring bike that could also bully sport bikes and still cross three states in a day?”
Needless to say… James made the RIGHT choice. 👏
Congratulations on the killer new ride, James! Thank you for trusting all of us here at Lloydz IMC again. We can’t wait to see the miles, smiles, and trouble this Challenger gets you into. 🤘🔥🇺🇸
