A limited run of 29 race replica bikes, the Challenger RR, were built to replicate the two-time championship winning bike of the Mission Foods King of The Bagger Race Series. The 1 of 29 heading to the Oceania continent for Australia/New Zealand has been sold.

Built for speed and on-track performance, with unparalleled power and race customisations designed to put you at the top of the podium. This limited edition, race only Challenger was born to dominate the race track.
Every piece of the Challenger RR mirrors the very bike Tyler O'Hara piloted during both Championship winning King of the Baggers seasons. From the fixed fairing with an Aero windshield, Maxx fully adjustable ECM, an AIM DL2 data logger dash and an adjustable S&S® fairing mount.
Featuring 17" race rims combined with Dunlop® race tyres, Hayes rear calliper and dual Brembo M4 front calliper breaks all rested under Ohlins® FGR250 front forks, setting the ride up for aggressive knee dragging cornering and responsive handling in all conditions.
Experience the thrill and power of the Indian Challenger RR with all of the custom parts that make this bike a champion. From the TTX Ohlins® rear shock, S&S® chain drive conversion, S&S® automatic chain tensioner and S&S® billet clutch cover above the custom belly pan.
Sit atop the same Saddlemen raised seat as Tyler O'Hara & assume the race position with the S&S® rear set foot controls. Featuring the same adjustable handlebars & Quickshifter kit as the championship winning bike, all you need to do is grab some leathers and hit the track.
The Challenger RR takes the already stout Powerplus engine on the Challenger street motorcycle and amps it up with custom S&S® camshafts, 112 CID big bore cylinder/piston kit, CNC ported cylinder heads, S&S® air intake w/78MM throttlebody, billiet adjustable rockerarms & a throaty S&S® 2-1 race exhaust.
