Don’t Miss Kraus Moto’s Build: Indian Motorcycle’s FORGED Series Continues

Indian Motorcycle has released the next episode of its 2025 FORGED custom build series – highlighting Satya Kraus from Kraus Moto.

Utilizing the all-new Chieftain PowerPlus, Indian Motorcycle has tapped three builders to fabricate one-of-a-kind custom bikes – each that tell a story of peak performance and custom, one-of-a-kind style.

Since he was a young boy Satya Kraus has always been drawn to motorcycles – it wasn’t just a fascination it was an obsession. In the late ‘90s, Kraus cut his teeth in the custom chopper scene, drawn in by the raw artistry and hands-on craftsmanship that defined the era. It wasn’t just about the bikes; it was about the builders, the metal, the pride in making something real. That passion never faded – in fact, it grew. Fueled by a deep respect for the craft and the culture, Satya turned his passion into a career. Today, his aftermarket motorcycle parts company, Kraus Motor Co., stands as a tribute to that lifelong love – built by a rider, for riders, with the soul of a craftsman in every piece.

Indian Motorcycle’s FORGED program is a six-part video series highlighting three unique interpretations of the all-new 2025 Chieftain PowerPlus. Each design and development video will roll out in the coming weeks, while final reveals will take place later this summer.

With the all-new Chieftain PowerPlus, Indian Motorcycle has redefined the American V-Twin bagger market. Designed with distinctive American style, the Chieftain PowerPlus features rider-assist technologies never before offered in an American V-Twin motorcycle and is powered by Indian Motorcycle’s championship-winning PowerPlus 112 engine.
