When the goal is to hit the open road, riders must ensure no corners are cut or details overlooked. Built for any type of riding, saddlebags, wire wheels, windshield, and passenger pillion all come standard. Super Scout’s saddlebags allow riders to effortlessly carry essentials and offer simple ease of use with a quick pull tab. The quick-release windshield comes off in seconds for a different look, while its 76 mm of suspension travel increases comfort to ride longer and farther. Premium chrome finishes and flawless paint add to the timeless styling born from the Indian Scout’s heritage.

Developed from extensive rider research and insights, the Indian Scout offers confidence-inspiring performance, usable technology, and class-leading rider amenities. Featuring the industry’s lowest seat height, the Indian Scout delivers a confident riding position, as well as sporty and stable handling. ABS across the entire lineup instils rider confidence and increases braking ability, while Traction Control and Ride Modes on select models offer a tailored riding experience at the touch of a button.

At the heart of the Indian Scout is a completely redesigned 1250cc liquid-cooled, V-Twin engine – the SpeedPlus 1250. Delivering up to 82 kW or power and north of 109 Nm of torque, each Indian Scout offers crisp acceleration and superior passing power. Electronic fuel injection provides consistent fuelling for smooth throttle response, while a responsive six-speed transmission keeps all the power easily within reach for sporty riding.

To evolve an American icon like Indian Scout, Indian Motorcycle focused its efforts in three areas. First and foremost, the Scout must uphold its legendary design DNA. Unanimously, riders love the look and style of the Indian Scout. Next, Indian Motorcycle engineered the lineup to meet the needs of its diverse group of riders. Light weight and a low seat height of 680 mm offers nimble handling and inspires rider confidence. The third priority when engineering the Indian Scout was technology. While rider-centric technology wasn’t a priority for riders 10 years ago, it is today. The 2026 model year lineup offers a variety of technology packages – providing riders with a wide price range and the opportunity to select a ride with the industry’s most cutting-edge technology.
