2025 Indian Scout Lineup Unveiled with All-new 1,250cc Engine

Indian Motorcycles has unveiled the updated Scout range for the global market. The motorcycle now comes in five variants—101 Scout, Super Scout, Scout Bobber, Sport Scout, and Scout Classic, spread across three trim levels— Standard, Limited, and Limited + Tech. Although the five models have similar foundations, they differ slightly in terms of appearance. The Scout Classic, evident through its name, boasts a traditional appearance. It has flared fenders, as well as, wire-spoke rims, and exhaust pipes with a chrome finish. On the other hand, the Super Scout is the touring version of the Scout Classic, with features such as saddlebags, a windscreen, and a pillion seat. The Scout Bobber has clipped fenders, a low stance, an all-black hue, a higher seat, and a 19-inch front wheel.

Last but not least, the 101 Scout is a range-topping model of the lineup, which pays tribute to the original Indian 101 Scout. The distinguishing elements of the variant include multiple colour options, an independent ECU setting for more power, a front fork, and piggyback rear shock absorbers, both adjustable, among others. To know what's new in the 2025 Scout range offered by Indian Motorcycles, read on. 

Indian Scout Lineup: Powertrain

The most significant modification is in the engine department. The 2025 series now has an all-new 1,250cc, four-valve, DOHC, 60-degree V-twin engine that is liquid-cooled and named the SpeedPlus. The motor produces 111Nm (13 Nm more than the previous version) at 6,300rpm and 103.5bhp at 7,250rpm, with a six-speed transmission. The 101 Scout variant produces 110bhp, which is a bit more power than the other variants while maintaining the same torque. The primary reason behind the rise in output is ECU tuning. There is a slip-and-assist clutch on the new SpeedPlus engine.  The liquid cooling allows for a radiator size decrease of up to 20%.

Indian Scout Lineup: Hardware

The Scout has been updated with an aluminum centre piece and a steel tube front frame. A new subframe, shared by the entire range, is located at the rear. In terms of cycle parts, the lineup comes with a 41mm telescopic fork with 104mm travel, and dual shock absorbers that can be adjusted for preload. On the other hand, the 101 Scout features completely adjustable dual shocks at the back with 76mm of travel and a 43mm upside-down fork with 150mm of travel. While the 101 Scout has dual 320 disc brakes with four-piston calipers up front, and the Classic, Bobber, Sport, and Super Scout have a single two-piston calliper up front with a 298mm semi-floating rotor. At the rear, however, all models feature the same 298mm disc and single-piston calliper.

Indian Scout Lineup: Equipment

The Indian Scout Lineup is available in three trim levels, as mentioned. While the Limited Tech + trim is only available for the Super Scout and the 101 Scout, the Standard and Limited trims are offered with the Scout the Classic, the Scout Bobber, and the Sport Scout. The Standard trim offers LED lighting, analogue dials, and ABS. In addition, the Limited includes features like cruise control, traction, and three riding modes: Sport, Standard, and Tour. In contrast, the Limited Tech + version boasts a rounded, 4-inch TFT touchscreen that is equipped with GPS navigation and Bluetooth.
