New Indian Challenger Dark Horse (2020) Review
The first KotB event took place last year, tagging onto the Laguna Seca round of a COVID-19 afflicted AMA championship. The whole event was a welcome boost to what was a pretty torrid season all around. And it wasn’t just some freaky sideshow to the ‘proper’ racing of the event either. The AMA managed to entice some tasty talent to the field.
Eventually, though, Tyler O’Hara came away with a win at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. O’Hara was riding his S&S Indian Challenger and has just announced he will defend his title in the three-round KotB series.
“It’s great news that Indian is getting behind the MotoAmerica King of the Baggers,” said MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey. “They won the first event at Laguna last year and we all saw how hugely popular the event was. It’s perfect that they are coming on board with both sponsorship and a team. The series promises to be intense and Indian starts the season as the team to beat.”
