Unlike the Chieftain which was earlier available in the Elite variant, the Indian Pursuit Elite makes its debut. It is limited to just 150 units worldwide and gets a number of cosmetic changes. The Pursuit Elite comes finished in a Super Graphite Metallic and Black Metallic paint with Shadow Bronze Chrome contrasting accents. You also get bronze coloured Elite badging on the tank, bronze stitching on the seats and a different design for the alloy wheels.
Powering the Indian Pursuit Elite is a 1768 cc, liquid cooled V-twin engine that puts out 122hp and 178 Nm. While a price for India is yet to be announced, the Pursuit Elite retails for $39,999 (around Rs 32.83 lakh) in the USA. Expect a few units to find their way to our shores.
