Get to know the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Heritage Classic and 2022 Indian Chief today.
Key Features
Both of the bikes feature an upright riding position, but the Harley-Davidson® gives you more lean into those turns. The Harley-Davidson® also comes with floorboards to make long rides more comfortable. The Indian Chief comes with a set of mid-mount footpegs, which makes for a less comfortable ride on those long hauls. Another major difference between the two bikes is the passenger seat. The Harley-Davidson® comes with a passenger seat but the Indian Chief works only for solo riders. If you plan to take gear with you, the Harley-Davidson® also offers more options since you get two lockable saddlebags. The Indian Chief doesn't offer saddlebags. You'll likely need to get a backpack if you plan on doing any long-distance traveling. In short, the Harley-Davidson® offers more comfort and convenience options so that you can ride across state lines with more of your cargo in tow for a night camping or weekend getaway.

Mechanical
The Harley-Davidson® Heritage Classic comes with chrome steel laced front and rear wheels that are designed to help you get an amazing ride. You'll also get a right lean angle of 27.3 degrees and a left lean angle of 28.5 degrees. The Indian Chief offers a uniform lean angle of 28.5 degrees. Additionally, you'll get 4.9 inches of ground clearance on the Indian Chief, which is going to be very similar to the Heritage Classic. One of the things we love about the Heritage Classic is that the frame retains many of the classic Softail lines while giving you a more lightweight design that provides extra stiffness. The extra stiffness gives you an extremely responsive ride, which we think you'll agree is smoother than the Indian Chief. You'll also get high-performance rear mono shocks on the Heritage Classic, which makes for dynamic cornering capabilities.

Design Features
The Harley-Davidson® Heritage Classic and the Indian Chief offer their own unique features that make each one an interesting option. You'll love the detachable windscreen on the Heritage Classic. This gives you options, and you can turn your cruiser into a touring bike quickly. The screen can help block wind and give you a safer and smoother ride on those long trips. The Indian Chief doesn't come with a windscreen, so you won't get that extra protection when you need it most. Only the Harley-Davidson® Heritage Classic comes with lockable and sealed saddlebags. These bags are roomy and feature a sleek look on the outside of the bike. The lids open with a single touch, and you'll love the option to carry along some extra gear and tools.
