Indian widened the Roadmaster's palette for 2021, adding two-tone options like Alumina Jade/Thunder Black, Arizona Turquois/Pearl White, and Black Azure Crystal/Stealth Gray Azure Crystal alongside solids like Bronze Smoke and White Smoke. Underneath the paint, the fork-mounted fairing and 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen carry over unchanged — Apple CarPlay works, but only over a cable, and Android Auto isn't part of the factory package. A HogPlay USB-C bypass adaptor makes that CarPlay wireless, and a Media Box or Piglet brings Android Auto and streaming apps to the Thunder Stroke 116 dash.
USB-C Bypass Required
The factory 7" Ride Command runs Apple CarPlay by USB cable only — no wireless, and no Android Auto. A HogPlay USB-C bypass makes CarPlay wireless, then a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps.

The 2021 Roadmaster keeps Indian's full-dress touring formula intact: fork-mounted fairing, hard saddlebags, a top trunk, floorboards, and the air-cooled Thunder Stroke 116 V-twin for two-up touring. New for the year were finishes like Maroon Metallic/Crimson Metallic and Blue Slate Smoke/Thunder Black Smoke, joining carryover Thunder Black Smoke. Every 2021 Roadmaster ships with the same 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen and factory wired Apple CarPlay — no wireless connection, and no Android Auto at all from Indian. HogPlay's USB-C wireless bypass adaptor solves the wireless half, and a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto plus streaming, all through the factory USB port.
