Since 1901, racing has been core to Indian Motorcycle’s DNA—a legacy defined by visionaries like Burt Munro on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Carrying that spirit forward, Indian Motorcycle, in partnership with S&S Cycle and Mission Foods, set out to Bonneville to see just how fast its King of the Baggers race bike could go. Piloted by Indian Wrecking Crew Rider and two-time King of the Baggers Champion Tyler O’Hara, the S&S-built Indian Challenger charged across the legendary Salt Flats—celebrating history and the timeless pursuit of speed.
United by passion and precision, S&S and Indian Motorcycle Racing brought decades of race-proven engineering to one of motorsports’ most iconic proving grounds. While knocking on the door of 200 mph, O’Hara honored the legends who came before him with a new AMA 2000cc APS-AG record at 194.384 mph (previous record from 1972: 169.828 mph on a Triumph by J. Angerer).
