The Indian Motorcycle PowerPlus is more than just an engine — it represents a new era for Indian Motorcycles. Introduced in 2020, the PowerPlus is Indian’s most advanced and powerful V-twin engine to date. In this complete guide, we’ll explain what the Indian Motorcycle PowerPlus is, its history, specs, and why it’s still making waves in 2025.
What is the Indian Motorcycle PowerPlus?
The Indian Motorcycle PowerPlus is a liquid-cooled, 108 cubic-inch (1769cc) V-twin engine that delivers exceptional horsepower and torque for Indian’s performance baggers and touring motorcycles. Unlike Indian’s air-cooled Thunderstroke engine, the PowerPlus uses modern technology to compete directly with high-performance rivals like Harley-Davidson’s Milwaukee-Eight and the Milwaukee-Eight 131 crate motor.
The name “PowerPlus” is a nod to Indian’s historic Powerplus engine from 1916, which powered early Indian models through the 1920s. Reviving the name ties Indian’s heritage to its future.
