New Indian Scout to Debut Globally on April 2; Here's All You Need to Know

Indian Motorcycle, the iconic American motorcycle maker, has confirmed that its new-generation Scout will make its international debut on April 2, 2024. Popular amongst riders across the globe, the Indian Scout has also been teased by the manufacturer ahead of its unveiling. A teaser video released by Indian Motorcycle suggests that the new Indian Scout will take design cues from the original model while infusing modern elements. For your reference, the original Indian Scout had a low-slung design with wide handlebars, a low seat height, twin-barrel exhausts, and blacked-out wheels. 

Dating back to 1920, the original Indian Scout was one of the best-selling motorcycles from the American brand. It first featured a 610cc, V-Twin, air-cooled engine paired with a three-speed gearbox. Fast forward to the present day, the upcoming Indian Scout will likely come powered by the same 1,133 cc V-Twin, liquid-cooled engine as the outgoing model. However, expect some tweaks to the motor.

Indian FTR x RSD Super Hooligan Revealed 

A limited-edition ‘Super Hooligan’ model of the FTR R Carbon has been revealed for the international market. Dubbed the Indian FTR x RSD Super Hooligan, it is built in collaboration with veteran racer and designer Roland Sands. Priced at $18,499 (Rs 15.32 lakh), the special-edition motorcycle gets Black Metallic bodywork with Super Hooligan race graphics, a classic Indian Motorcycle Red frame with matching wheels, and Indian Motorcycle Racing's No.1 championship logo on the front and side. 

Mechanically, the bike remains the same—a 1,203cc twin-cylinder motor with 120bhp and 120Nm of peak torque powers the Super Hooligan. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed transmission with slip and assist clutch. The American automaker says the special model will be limited to 300 units, with 150 set aside for sale outside of North America.
