Chief Bobber Dark Horse
THUNDERSTROKE 116
The air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 produces 162 Nm of raw torque for passing power in all 6 gears. It'll catch eyes on the street and grab your soul from the saddle.
BLACKED-OUT BOBBER DESIGN
Loaded with attitude and blacked-out finishes from fender to bobbed fender. A welded steel tube frame, large headlight bucket with nacelle, and covered forks and rear shocks give a nod to traditional bobber style.
4 in Touchscreen Powered by RIDE COMMAND
The 4-inch touchscreen maintains a classic aesthetic by disguising itself as an analog gauge. Use it as a speedo and a tach, but it also provides turn-by-turn navigation, controls ride modes, lets you answer and decline calls, and manage your music from any Bluetooth-connected device.
BLACK, AND MORE BLACK
Dark by design with premium gloss-black finishes from fender to fender.
OWN THE ROAD
A low solo seat gives you a commanding feel, while the forward pegs and mini ape bars put your feet forward and your fists in the wind.
Features For The Win
Off the line, every Chief Dark Horse comes with keyless ignition, USB charging port, cruise control, ABS, LED Lighting and super-sticky Pirelli® Night Dragon tyres.
