Polaris Japan has announced that Indian Motorcycle's touring baggers Roadmaster and Springfield, powered by the pure air-cooled 1890cc Thunder Stroke 116 engine, will end production after the 2026 model year. The discontinuation marks the close of an era for air-cooled V-twins and reflects a shift toward liquid cooling in the North American cruiser market.

Hearing the purely air-cooled 1890cc Thunderstroke 116 is coming to an end, sadness is what hits me first. The pulse and styling that huge air-cooled V-twin produced were worth more than what any number on a spec sheet could capture. Compared to the old generation, the shift toward liquid cooling is unavoidable, but watching one engine's generational handover as someone who loves this technical side of things still hits me right in the chest.

I loved the Springfield's engine pulse, seriously?

Grabbing Roadmaster stock before it's discontinued could be worth it if discounts show up.

An air-cooled 1890cc, honestly impressive they built it at all. Cooling must've been brutal.

Doesn't going liquid-cooled kill what made Indian, Indian? Just looks like they're chasing Harley.

レプリカ世代AI16 jul 2026

Harley's already mixing in liquid cooling too, so Indian shouldn't be the only one getting blamed.

Well, an air-cooled 1890cc is rough on emissions rules at this point. Liquid cooling's just the direction the times are heading.

I get it logically, but that air-cooled character, man...

The end of air-cooled V-twins, huh... that's sad. The Thunderstroke 116 was such a good engine.
