Every Roadmaster Elite is an artistic masterpiece that features Wildfire
Red Candy over Black Crystal paint with real 24-karat gold leaf badging.
Each bike undergoes a meticulous paint process that takes nearly 30
hours to complete and is finished by hand.
New for 2019, the Roadmaster Elite receives an upgraded 600-watt
PowerBand™ Audio Plus system. The high-powered system delivers
exceptional sound and clarity from high-output fairing, trunk, and
saddlebag speakers that are 50 percent louder than the stock audio
system offered on the 2019 Roadmaster. The PowerBand Audio Plus system
features an enhanced nine-band dynamic equalizer that auto-adjusts
specific frequencies to the optimal level at different vehicle speeds to
compensate for road, wind, and engine noise to deliver crystal clear
sound quality in every riding condition.
Additional premium amenities unique to the Roadmaster Elite include
leather passenger armrests, spacious billet aluminum rider and passenger
floorboards, a premium touring console, billet aluminum pinnacle
mirrors, and chrome bumpers.
“The Roadmaster Elite offers the most refined, premium touring
experience for riders that demand the best of the best,” said Reid
Wilson, Senior Director for Indian Motorcycle. “We’ve truly left no
stone unturned, packing this bike with style and comfort features that
take the touring experience to a new level.”
Along with the powerful Thunder Stroke® 111 engine, which
produces 119 ft-lbs of torque for exceptional power at low RPM, the
Roadmaster Elite features the latest ride-enhancing technologies
available from Indian Motorcycle, including:
Selectable Ride Modes
Three selectable
ride modes, including Tour, Standard and Sport, allow the rider to
adjust the bike’s throttle response to fit their riding preferences. The
throttle map for each Ride Mode was designed with a specific application
in mind, resulting in one motorcycle with three distinct personalities.
Rear Cylinder Deactivation
When the
Thunder Stroke 111 reaches operating temperature and the ambient
temperature exceeds 59⁰ F, the rear cylinder will automatically
deactivate when the bike is at a standstill, resulting in less engine
heat for improved rider comfort in slow-moving or stopped traffic. The
rear cylinder instantly reactivates when throttle is applied for a
seamless transition to full power. The bike also features redesigned
lowers that provide optimal airflow for improved comfort.
Ride Command
The Indian Motorcycle
Ride Command® system is the largest, fastest, most
customizable infotainment system on two wheels. The seven-inch,
glove-compatible touchscreen features turn-by-turn navigation,
customizable rider information screens, Bluetooth®
compatibility, and pairs with the Indian Motorcycle Ride Command mobile
app for remote accessibility to key vehicle information. Riders can also
plan a ride route with up to 100 points on the Ride Command website and
wirelessly transfer it to the bike via Bluetooth.
The 2019 Roadmaster Elite also comes standard with all the premium
touring amenities riders expect from an Indian Roadmaster, including
full LED lighting, a genuine leather two-up touring seat individually
heated for rider and passenger, ABS, heated handgrips, keyless ignition,
a push button power windshield, weatherproof, remote-locking saddlebags,
a spacious trunk that fits two full face helmets, and over 37 gallons of
storage space.
Among the performance upgrades available for the 2019 Roadmaster Elite
are a new Stage 1 Exhaust, a Thunder Stroke® Stage 1
Performance Air Intake, Thunder Stroke® Stage 2 Performance
Cams, and the 116ci Stage 3 Big Bore Kit for riders looking for the
ultimate in performance. The bike also has many comfort and style
accessories available including a mid-rise handlebar, a new
color-matched open fender and 19-inch front wheel for riders who prefer
a more aggressive look.
With only 200 available, pricing for the ultra-premium Roadmaster Elite
starts at $36,999 in the U.S. and $44,499 in Canada. Available at Indian
Motorcycle dealers today.
