When Indian Motorcycle and Kraus Motor Co. team up, expect nothing short of brutal beauty—and their final Forged Series build is exactly that. Crafted for former UFC champ Cody “No Love” Garbrandt, this custom Chieftain PowerPlus is a vicious V-twin street brawler with championship DNA and elite craftsmanship baked into every billet.
Built entirely in-house by Satya Kraus and his crew, this Chieftain doesn’t play dress-up. It’s loaded with functional, performance-first components: forged carbon wheels, Öhlins inverted forks, Kraus RTX8 calipers, and a Fab28 stainless exhaust scream go-fast attitude. The PowerPlus 112 V-twin remains the heart—Indian’s 1,768cc torque monster tuned for real-world muscle and racetrack grit.
What sets this build apart isn’t just the parts list—it’s the attitude. No glossy paint, no fluff. Just raw, exposed carbon, hand-fabricated alloy, and minimalistic lines that match Garbrandt’s no-nonsense fight style. Even the saddle—by Saddlemen—is tailored for speed, not posing.
Garbrandt was hands-on throughout the build and couldn’t hide the grin when he first fired it up: “I don’t think I’ve smiled that much on a bike in my life.”
This is American muscle, reimagined. And it rides like a punch to the chest.
