Indian Scout Bobber Launch Scheduled For November

The latest addition to the Indian Motorcycle line-up, the Indian Scout Bobber, will now be launched by November in India. The Scout Bobber has already been launched in the US, and Indian Motorcycle has already started accepting bookings for an amount of Rs. 50,000 in India. The Indian Scout Bobber extends the popular Indian Scout line-up, joining the Indian Scout and Indian Scout Sixty. The Indian Scout Bobber incorporates aesthetic changes to the Indian Scout, and is expected to be priced around Rs. 14 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

The Indian Scout Bobber is a cosmetic update on the standard Indian Scout, following a stripped-down "bobbed" look, with chopped fenders, and a blacked-out look. The headlight gets a small shroud, and the Indian badge on the fuel tank gets a new bold font, and there's a tracker-style handlebar, new engine covers and bar-end mirrors. The Scout Bobber is built on the same chassis as the standard Scout and also shares the same engine. The 1,131 cc v-twin engine makes 100 bhp of power and 97.7 Nm of peak torque.

The riding position of the Indian Scout Bobber is different from the Indian Scout, with re-positioned footpegs and the new handlebar, making for a tighter, and more streamlined riding position. The rear suspension has also been dropped, but the seat height has increased. The front suspension is also new and gets a slightly different geometry, so expect the Scout Bobber's handling and ride quality to be different from the Indian Scout as well.
