2015
Indian Scout
The
Legend is Back. Like its iconic forerunner, the all-new Indian Scout is an
innovative and aesthetically stunning American cruiser. It introduces the
first-ever liquid-cooled Indian Motorcycle engine – an efficient and reliable
69 cubic inch V-twin – for impressive power on demand. This new model carries
the legendary Indian Scout name into the future in authentic Indian Motorcycle style.
The
2015 Indian Scout is a contemporary interpretation of one of motorcycling’s
most famous and coveted bikes. With a DNA that is long on history, the all-new
Indian Scout will appeal to riders with years of experience or new to the
exciting world of motorcycling. The Indian Scout delivers on the legendary
brands names promise of balance, quality and style, and featuring a starting US$
10,999 is more accessible than ever.
This
is the first truly new Indian Scout in more than 70 years and marks the return
of the legendary bikes that conquered the infamous “Wall of Death” and carried
the legendary “Indian Wrecking Crew” motorcycle race team to multiple
victories. Technology and designs derived from Scout models played a
significant role for Allied Forces in World War II and a 1920 Indian Scout
earned the title of the “World’s Fastest Indian” as proven by Burt Munro in
1967.
Three
decades of innovations, racing wins, world records and industry firsts, built
the legend of the Scout and drew thousands of riders in. Indian Motorcycle
designers and engineers have taken that tradition and the characteristics of
the models heritage and accelerated them through modern design and technology
into the new 2015 Indian Scout. A motorcycle that reflects its legendary past
and accelerates Indian Motorcycle towards a bright and global future.
With
a lightest in class wet weight of 558 pounds – the 2015 Indian Scout was
derived from a clean sheet design, creating a powerful, balanced and precise
middle-weight cruiser that carries forward the spirit of innovation that made
it one of the most storied bikes of all time. Boasting modern technologies,
design and engineering innovations, it offers a breakthrough chassis design
featuring a lightweight and rigid cast aluminum frame coupled with a low
25.3-inch seat height for exceptional comfort, poise and maneuverability.
Powered by an all-new, original and proprietary liquid-cooled, 69 cubic inch
(1133 cc), 100 HP V-twin engine with 72.2 ft. lbs. of torque, the 2015 Indian
Scout is always capable yet approachable
and balanced.
Its
low seat height, low center of gravity and lightweight design makes the Scout
appealing to riders of all sizes and experience levels. The combination of easy
maneuverability, broad and strong horsepower, and variety of accessories allows
for tailoring fit, performance and style to suit any rider.
"Over
the course of 30 years of countless innovations, racing wins, world records and
industry firsts, the Scout has earned its reputation as a versatile,
multifaceted bike that appeals to just about every rider and every riding
style, with superior handling, balance, performance and craftsmanship,"
said Steve Menneto, VP of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. "Our
designers and engineers have taken that heritage and those characteristics and
fused it into the 2015 Indian Scout, and we think just about everyone who rides
this incredible bike is going to feel like it was built just for them."
