New liquid-cooled Indian caught

New liquid-cooled Indian caught

The American manufacturer is developing a new liquid-cooled V-twin engine for the Euro5 homologation rules.

Motorcycle manufacturers need to update many of their current engines to meet the stricter Euro5 homologation rules, and Indian is one of those manufacturers. And now, the new liquid-cooled V-twin engine was caught while testing on the road.

Known for its big air-cooled twin-cylinder engines filled with chrome parts, Indian needs to find a way to pass the Euro5 rules, and the easiest thing the American manufacturer can do to lower emissions and keep the power figure is to add a radiator to the engine making it liquid cooled.

The bike using the new liquid cooled engine was caught while testing on the road, alongside the FTR 1200. The test mule was covered in with a generic fairing, so there’s no way we can figure out how the bike will look like.

At the moment, Indian only offers liquid cooled engines on the FTR, Scout, and the 1200 models, but this new V-twin will certainly be used on the Chief family.

According to some American sources, the engine will have a 1770 cc displacement, matched to a six-speed gearbox, and offering 120 hp. The bike using this engine should be revealed by the next EICMA Milan motorcycle show in November.

With more than ten years as a motorcycle journalist, i enjoy everything that has to do with two-wheels. I'm a fan of sport bikes and i prefer riding them on a racetrack, but give me a road filled with corners and good asphalt and i'll be there to have some fun!
