Indian Motorcycle is announcing today that it will become a standalone company, following the sale of a majority stake by Polaris to Carolwood LP. This move marks a powerful evolution for America’s first motorcycle brand.
Since 2011, Polaris has proudly stewarded Indian Motorcycle’s resurgence, reviving a legendary name and pushing boundaries in design, performance, and innovation. With this transition, Indian Motorcycle is now poised to accelerate its growth with a sharper focus and renewed independence.
Indian Motorcycle will continue to operate as a part of Polaris until the deal is complete, which is expected to occur in early 2026. At that time, approximately 900 employees will transition to employment as a part of the new Indian Motorcycle Company. Additionally, the manufacturing sites in Spirit Lake, Iowa, and Monticello, Minnesota will transition to the new standalone motorcycle company as a part of the deal, as well as the industrial design and technology center in Burgdorf, Switzerland.
Indian Motorcycle dealers and customers can rest assured that service to them will remain as diligent as it has to date, and customer warranties will not be affected during or following this transition. Polaris is confident in Indian Motorcycle’s future success and will maintain a small equity position in the new, standalone Indian Motorcycle Company after the deal is final.
