THUNDERSTROKE 116
The air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 produces 162Nm of raw torque for passing power in all 6 gears, giving you the power to leave everything—and everyone—in your exhaust.


HEAD-TURNING DESIGN
Turn heads on every corner with simple, purposeful design showcasing bobbed fenders, exposed rear shocks and a steel welded tube frame. It's an invitation to make it your own.


4" RIDE COMMAND TOUCHSCREEN
The 4" 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.


RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE
With a low seat height, a solo saddle, and mid-mount foot pegs that keep your feet underneath you, the Chief gives every rider complete control.


19" MACHINED CAST WHEEL
The 19-inch machined cast front wheel with ABS adds to the menacing stance and will beg you to roll the throttle.


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.
