2020 Indian Motorcycle Roadmaster Elite LE Preview

Indian Motorcycle has revealed a custom-inspired limited edition of its Roadmaster Elite for 2020, with just 225 units planned for production. The bike is available now through an authorized Indian Motorcycle dealer, and will start at $38,999 in the US and $46,999 in Canada.

Each of the limited Roadmaster Elite models takes more than 30 hours to paint, with the final details applied by hand. It will feature Thunder Black Vivid Crystal over the Gunmetal Flake colorway, and be highlighted by red pinstriping and red badging throughout.

On top of the bold new graphics, there will also be an upgraded 600W PowerBand Audio Plus system on board. It will give you optimal sound from its fairing, trunk, and saddlebag speakers, which Indian claims are 50 percent louder than stock. The new sound system also has a nine-band dynamic equalizer that adjusts automatically to get the best sound quality at different vehicle speeds.
