Indian won the King of the Baggers championship in the United States last year and to add luster to that title, they have announced an exact replica of the Challenger RR with which Tyler O’Hara won that championship. To be produced in an edition of only 29 pieces, equal to the starting number of O’Hara.
The Indian Challenger RR is, according to the Americans, the very first hand-built racing dredger, which can be purchased by ordinary consumers. The Challenger RR has the exact same specifications as the machine that won O’Hara’s King of the Baggers Championship and was built by the exact same hands.
“Initially many were baffled by the idea of ​​racing with Baggers, some motorsport purists even found it downright insulting. But in just three short years, King of the Baggers has become the hottest thing in motorcycle racing, and these bikes have rapidly evolved and refined. We thought it was a great idea to give people the chance to own the bike that wears the crown.
We are delighted to embrace the phantom of Bagger racing and celebrate our second title with this highly exclusive, special run of Indian Challenger RR bikes. This bike is the real thing and, like the FTR750, is a real racing bike and therefore not street legal. With the right man on the saddle, the bike will make it to the podium in MotoAmerica’s Mission King of the Baggers race series.”
The list of special parts seems endless, but we’ve picked out the most important ones for you: Öhlins FGR250 upside-down front forks and TTX rear shock, Brembo M4 front brake calipers with 330 mm discs, a laundry list of carbon and fiberglass parts and a tuned by S&S and equipped with a 112 CID Big Bore Kit V-twin, which should be good for about 170 hp.
The Indian Challenger RR is not available from us in the Benelux, but – in addition to the US – it is available in Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Great Britain and Japan. It is also not a good buy, in the US no less than $ 92,229 must be put on the table. But yes, then you have something unique.
