Overview

Introducing the 2023 Indian Springfield Dark Horse, the epitome of American touring motorcycles, designed for riders who demand both power and luxury. With its striking blacked-out aesthetic and robust build, this model stands out in a competitive market. Priced at $23,499, the Springfield Dark Horse is positioned as a premium touring bike that combines classic Indian styling with cutting-edge technology. It’s crafted for those who relish the open road, offering a blend of comfort, performance, and advanced features that make every ride an adventure worth remembering. At the heart of the Springfield Dark Horse is the powerful Thunder Stroke® 116 engine, boasting a displacement of 1890 ccm (115.33 cubic inches) that delivers a staggering 92 horsepower and an impressive torque of 170.9 Nm at 2900 RPM. This engine is not just about raw power; it's designed to provide a smooth, exhilarating ride with its 6-speed transmission and innovative closed-loop sequential port fuel injection system.

The built-in tire pressure monitoring system adds an extra layer of safety, giving you peace of mind on long journeys. Its impressive fuel capacity of 20.8 liters means fewer stops at the pump, allowing you to focus on the ride ahead. With a sleek profile and bold color options—Black Smoke and Quartz Gray—this motorcycle not only performs exceptionally but also turns heads wherever it goes. **
