A V-twin with knock-out punch: Indian Challenger Venum launched
Indian Motorcycle has teamed up with MMA kit and clothing maker Venum for a special edition, which won’t be coming to the UK.
Indian Motorcycle and the MMA and boxing kit and clothing company Venum have stepped into the cage with the Indian Challenger Venum.
Aimed squarely at riders who like their machines bold, brash, and ready to go five rounds with convention, the Challenger Venum wears a custom camouflage paint job that looks like it’s been cut from Venum’s own fight trunks. Underneath all that visual swagger sits a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust – a reminder that, like any good fighter, it can switch from calm and composed to ground-and-pound fury at the flick of a riding mode.

While we didn’t have this collab on our 2025 bingo card, both Indian Motorcycle and Venum apparently trade on the same fundamentals: discipline, determination and attitude.
Built in ultra-limited numbers, not only does the new bike gain the distinctive paintjob, but it also seems to come hand-in-hand with some Venum kit bags in tow.
Speaking about the new special edition, Baptiste Grenguet, Indian Motorcycle France’s Marketing Manager, said:
“This collaboration was born from a shared desire to combine our worlds. The Indian Challenger Venum embodies the perfect fusion between raw performance and assertive aesthetics.”
“Venum and Indian Motorcycle share the same philosophy: that of total commitment and excellence. This motorcycle is a reflection of this synergy,” adds Louis Caze, Chief Business Development Officer at Venum – or, in fight terms, the man delivering the post-fight callout.
The Challenger Venum goes live online from December 1, 2025, but the real spectacle is its public debut at WOW FC 25 in Madrid on December 13.
