On the special occasion of the launch of Harley Rock Riders, Mr. Sanjay Tripathi, Director – Marketing, Harley-Davidson said, “The Harley-Davidson culture is as much about its unique style as the motorcycles themselves.

Additionally, Indus Creed’s re-launch through this property stands witness to the experience, passion and dedication that Harley-Davidson has to rock music.

In sync with the freedom, passion and self-expression, that define Harley-Davidson; Split, a promising rock band has been selected to kick-start the Harley Rock Riders tour from 9th September to 4th December. The three-month rock tour will touch upon the five cities that Harley-Davidson has already ridden into with its dealerships – New Delhi, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
Thrilled on being selected as the ‘chosen’ band, Split said, “We are pleased and privileged, to be a part of the rock music revolution that Harley-Davidson is bringing to India through their first of its kind Harley Rock Riders platform.
