The Indian Powerplus is a motorcycle that
was built from 1916 to 1923 by the Hendee Manufacturing Company. Designed by
Charles Gustafson, the Powerplus's engine was Indian's first flathead.
The Indian PowerPlus is
an all-new modern design to complement the traditional Thunder Stroke motor
used in its current large-displacement motorcycles. Let's take a first look at
the PowerPlus engine. 1. The PowerPlus motor is a contemporary mate to the Thunder
Stroke.
The new Indian PowerPlus V-twin engine is
Indian Motorcycle’s most powerful engine yet. It will make its appearance in
the all-new Indian Challenger.
Indian Motorcycle have developed a new
engine called the PowerPlus and it is their most powerful mill yet. The
American cruiser icon has unlocked a new level of performance as far as V-twin
cruiser engines go. The PowerPlus engine is a 108-cubic-inch (1,769-cc),
liquid-cooled, 60° V-twin that redlines at 6,500 rpm. Like the engine in the
Scout, this one will also have an overhead cam and four valves per cylinder,
but it is enhanced with more output and torque. These figures are impressive
with a peak 122 hp at 5,500 rpm and 178 Nm at 3,800 rpm. Indian Motorcycle have
also confirmed that the engine will be mated to a six-speed gearbox which will
also feature an assist clutch to enable easier gear shifts. Furthermore, the
engine will feature hydraulic valve-lash adjusters and cam-chain tensioners for
easier maintenance.
