“When we created the new Twins class, our
intention was to attract leading OEMs like
Indian Motorcycle to return to this uniquely
challenging and exciting form of racing, and
we couldn’t be more excited to now welcome
Indian Motorcycle back to the hill for the first
time in more than 80 years,” said Rob Redmann,
Director of AMA Pro Hillclimb.
“There is nothing like Hillclimb racing – fast,
quick and exciting. We believe brands such as
Indian Motorcycle will dramatically impact our
ability to draw more fans and help grow this
incredible sport.”
So does Indian Motorcycle have enough
swingarm to stop its twin-cylinder beast from
backflipping its way up the mountainsides of
the AMA Pro Hillclimb series?
Going on the brand’s domination of flat track
racing and letting its knowledgable rider take
the lead on getting the bike up to scratch,
we think they’ll do just fine.
In fact, hillclimbing is part of the Indian
Motorcycle DNA you could say.
“We are always looking for exciting and unique
opportunities not only compete, but to also
demonstrate the prowess of our engineering
and design teams and the capabilities of the
incredible motorcycles we develop,” said Gary
Gray, Vice President Racing, Service and
Technology for Indian Motorcycle.
“We’re not only fans of hillclimb racing, but
with our brand’s history in the sport, it was a
no-brainer that we’d make our return after
all these years.”
