Javon, Lurch, and I took a couple of days away from the Law Abiding Biker Store and took a team ride.  In addition to taking a break to ride, I wanted to put my new 2026 Indian Roadmaster with the PowerPlus motor to the test.  Javon rode our loaner 2025 Indian Roadmaster, also with a PowerPlus motor.  We road to LaGrande, Oregon and then did the Hell's Canyon Loop Ride.  It's an epic ride and we highly recommend you take it.  There will be a video of our trip coming to the Law Abiding Biker YouTube Channel in the near future.  Listen to our review of the New Indian Roadmaster.

The 2026 Indian Roadmaster PowerPlus brings an impressive combination of American touring luxury, modern technology, and serious V-twin performance to the heavyweight motorcycle market. At the heart of this touring machine is Indian's liquid-cooled, 112-cubic-inch (1,834cc) PowerPlus engine, producing an impressive 126 horsepower and 133 ft-lbs of torque straight from the factory.

Unlike traditional air-cooled, pushrod V-twins, the PowerPlus features overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, delivering strong acceleration, responsive throttle performance, and plenty of passing power at highway speeds. The six-speed transmission, inverted front forks, Brembo brakes, and electronically adjustable rear suspension preload further enhance the riding experience. With three selectable ride modes—Rain, Standard, and Sport—the Roadmaster allows riders to tailor engine response to their riding conditions.

Beyond its impressive engine, the 2026 Roadmaster PowerPlus is loaded with premium touring features designed to make long-distance motorcycle adventures more enjoyable. Riders and passengers benefit from heated seats, heated grips, spacious floorboards, a power-adjustable windshield, and more than 36 gallons of weatherproof storage between the saddlebags and removable trunk. Indian's 7-inch RIDE COMMAND touchscreen provides navigation, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, and motorcycle information, while available PowerBand Audio delivers a powerful 600-watt sound system.

The PowerPlus 112 models also feature advanced rider-assistance technology, including blind-spot warnings, rear collision warnings, bike hold control, electronically linked brakes, and lean-sensitive traction control and ABS.  For riders looking for a fully equipped American touring motorcycle with modern engineering and plenty of power, the 2026 Indian Roadmaster PowerPlus deserves a close look
