2021 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® vs 2022 Indian Chieftain

2021 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® vs 2022 Indian Chieftain Overview
Both the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® and 2022 Indian Chieftain are bold statements of their designers. They are built for the discriminating buyer who demands more from their motorcycle than just high-performance. A 2021 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® vs 2022 Indian Chieftain comparison reveals that both are capable of giving you outstanding performance and high mileage excursions, but only one of them offers the luxury of the 2021 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide®. It's a model that sticks to the design language of original H-D® motorcycles. A 2021 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® vs 2022 Indian Chieftain comparison review is a battle of the giants. They're extremely evenly matched on almost everything, but when you really narrow things down, it's the Street Glide® that inevitably wins over the most hearts.

Design
The 2022 Indian Chieftain has a limited color palette, which isn't unusual for this class of bike. However, for those who want a bike that's more than Black Metallic, you're looking at a lot of money to customize this one. Meanwhile, the 2021 Street Glide® gets a much more generous number of paints: River Rock Gray, Vivid Black, and Billiard Red. For this class, that's one of the most generous array of factory paints out there. That's not the only thing the Street Glide® is serving Stuart Port St. Lucie Fort Pierce Vero Beach riders. The majority of riders who appreciate classic Americana aesthetics, the 2021 Street Glide® has a Batwing Fairing that's much more well put together than the rather large and "out there" design of the 2022 Chieftain.

Handling
The Harley-Davidson® brand has two things going for it that Indian bikes don't. There's an amazing duo of defensive systems on the bike that makes it easier to brake with and easier to handle outright. First, there's the Reflex Defensive Rider Systems available on the Street Glide®. Second, you'll get a powerful configuration of Brembo braking power that's hooked up to ABS and the Reflex system. If you like to test the limits of even your Grand American Touring bikes, the Street Glide® is a better choice here. It offers a crisp, stately ride that's unforgettable.

Technology
The Street Glide® is serving Stuart Port St. Lucie Fort Pierce Vero Beach customers with the BOOM!™ Box infotainment system, a very well designed and eye-pleasing presentation that puts all your connectivity together in a way that's unmatched. RIDE COMMAND handles Indian's system, and it offers much of the same features. However, when you look at the way the BOOM!™ Box system is built into the "dash" area of your motorcycle, it's just a much cleaner presentation and one that will resonate with more people. Indian does a fantastic job on their system, so saying that the Street Glide® gets it right more often is a real compliment to the H-D® bike. Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson® knows many people will choose the Street Glide® just for its infotainment system. Grab a pair of headphones and get ready for amazing sound on the Street Glide®, too.

Winner: 2021 Street Glide®
The more customizable of the two bikes is the 2021 Street Glide®. Its hand-adjustable rear shocks allow you to prepare for any road that's in your way. The word "glide" in its model name is a telling thing for the model. It's a bike that does seem to glide through pretty much anything thrown its way, whether it's intimidating curves, bumpy roads, or long stretches on the road. Thanks to its Reflex Defensive Rider Systems and standard ABS with its Brembo brakes, it all comes together in a way that's a true testament to the H-D® brand. No Indian motorcycle is ever going to offer this type of style to American riders, and that's why people continue to come back time and again to the Harley-Davidson® brand. Indian might have a fancier front-end, but that's actually not even an asset to the bike, as people prefer the tapered down iconic Batwing fairing of the Street Glide®. It's a win all the way around for H-D®.
