BAG A BAGGER?

Indian Motorcycle’s ultra-limited edition Challenger RR

The American firm has revealed that it’s building a super-exclusive version of its Indian Challenger RR, to celebrate winning the 2022 King of the Baggers championship.

That’s right. A limited run of 29 race-replica Challenger RRs have been built by the same S&S hands that wrenched Tyler O’Hara’s #29 championship-winning bike.

It’s a seriously cool bit of kit, which mirrors O’Hara’s machine with a fixed fairing and Aero windshield; Maxx fully adjustable ECM; AIM DL2 data logger dash; and adjustable S&S fairing mount being just the tip of the iceberg.

It also gets 17-inch race rims combined with Dunlop race tyres; a Hayes rear caliper; Brembo M4 front calipers and Ohlins FGR250 front forks; a TTX Ohlins rear shock; an S&S chain drive conversion; an S&S automatic chain tensioner; and an S&S billet clutch cover. There’s also a raised seat, S&S rear sets, adjustable handlebars and a quickshifter kit – exactly the same as the championship-winning bike.

And, of course, there’s that beefy Powerplus engine that’s been made even more capable with custom S&S camshafts; a 112 CID big bore cylinder/piston kit; CNC ported cylinder heads; an S&S air intake with a 78MM throttle body; billet adjustable rocker arms; and a throaty S&S 2-1 race exhaust thrown in for good measure.

Sadly the bike’s not road legal – but if you’ve got the money to throw around to buy one of these babies, then you’ll probably have no trouble getting a bit of track time for a blast. Speaking of which, there’s actually been no official word on pricing or availability, with Indian recommending you get in touch with your local dealer to express interest.
