Step into the spotlight of American touring with the 2026 Indian Motorcycle® Roadmaster® 125th Anniversary Edition—finished in 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal, a paint combo that looks equal parts heritage and hot-rod. In the sun, it reads deep and celebratory; at night, it turns downright dramatic, the kind of finish that makes you take the long way to the parking spot just to glance back one more time.
At the heart of this Touring machine is the Thunder Stroke 116 V Twin: a big, air-cooled, 4-stroke that doesn’t need to shout to sound confident. With 126 ft-lbs of torque coming on at 2,900 rpm, it’s built for that satisfying roll-on—passing power without the frantic downshifts, smooth momentum when the road opens up, and the kind of low-rpm punch that makes every on-ramp feel like a victory lap. Fuel injection (with a 54 mm injector size) keeps response crisp, while the classic OHV pushrod layout and 11:1 compression ratio bring that signature V-twin character to every mile.
Touring is about rhythm, and the 6-speed manual gearbox is made for settling into it. Power flows through a gear primary and a belt drive to the rear wheel—clean, confidence-inspiring, and ready for real road time. The chassis backs it up with an aluminum frame, a long, planted stance (65.7-inch wheelbase), and composed geometry (25 degrees of rake with 5.9 inches of trail) that helps the bike feel stable when you’re loaded up and cruising.
Up front, a 46 mm telescopic fork offers 4.7 inches of travel; out back, a twin sided swing arm with a single shock delivers 4.5 inches and adds air adjustability plus preload adjustment. Translation: whether it’s a quick solo escape or a two-up weekend with extra gear, you can dial in the ride to match the mission. Metzeler CRUISETEC™ tubeless tires—130/60B19 up front and 180/60R16 in the rear—bring a sure-footed feel, while dual 300 mm hydraulic front discs with 4-piston calipers and a 300 mm rear disc with a 2-piston caliper deliver confident stopping power when the scenery demands a pause.
Comfort is where the Roadmaster earns its name. The one-piece leather seat is built for both rider and passenger, with a low 28-inch seat height that helps you feel at home at stops. Your passenger gets a fixed backrest, and both of you get the kind of floorboard space that makes “one more hour” an easy yes. A height-adjustable windshield with lowers is ready for changing weather and changing moods—open air when you want the full experience, more coverage when the miles stack up.
And because real touring means bringing your life along, storage is handled with two side cases (left and right) in durable vinyl, offering a substantial 36.2 gallons (159.5 liters) of capacity. There’s also rear rack storage made of fiberglass—handy for the extras that always seem to come with the best trips.
The cockpit keeps you connected without stealing the moment. RIDE COMMAND™ GPS is on board, along with Bluetooth® audio, mobile app instrumentation, and easy steering control right from the handlebar. Five speakers provide the soundtrack, LED lighting keeps things bright and modern, and heated, adjustable driver hand grips help you stay comfortable when the temperature drops.
Wrapped in 125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal and built to do what a true Touring motorcycle should, this Roadmaster 125th Anniversary Edition isn’t just about getting there—it’s about making every mile feel like part of the celebration.
