2025 Indian Sport Chief RT | Has Indian trumped Harley-Davidson’s Low Rider ST?

The 2025 Indian Sport Chief RT has arrived in Australia — and it’s aimed squarely at the mighty Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST. Powered by the 116ci Thunderstroke V-twin, producing 156Nm of torque, the Sport Chief RT blends club-style aggression with touring practicality thanks to hard saddlebags, a two-up bolster seat and premium suspension from KYB and Fox. Priced just under $36,000 ride away in Australia, does the Indian offer better value, performance and tech than its Harley rival? In this full review, we cover: • Thunderstroke 116 performance • Suspension & ride quality • Brembo braking performance • TFT touchscreen display & tech • Comfort, ergonomics & touring ability • Real-world road impressions • Is it better than the Low Rider ST? Is Indian now building cruisers that are just as good — or even better — than Harley-Davidson? #indianmotorcycle #SportChief #harleydavidson #lowriderst #cruiserbikes #motorcyclereview #clubstyle
