Indian Motorcycle has revealed the 2020
FTR Carbon. The new motorcycle is inspired by the American company’s flat
tracker Indian F750.
After releasing a teaser video of the
Indian FTR Carbon recently, the brand has now revealed the new bike. It has
drawn inspiration from the company’s championship-winning flat tracker FTR750
which dominated the Flat Track Racing with three Grand National Titles in a
row.
The Indian FTR Carbon is a premium version
of the Indian FTR 1200. It comes with, as the name suggests, a host of
carbon-fibre parts such as the front fender, headlight surround, tank/airbox
covers, and pillion seat cowl. Indian Motorcycle has also added an ‘FTR Carbon’
branded centre console plate for that extra exclusivity. Another awesome
feature of the carbon-fibre laden naked streetfighter is the set of black
shotgun type Titanium Akrapovic exhausts.
The FTR Carbon uses the same 1,203 cc
V-Twin engine that comes fitted with the other models in Indian Motorcycle’s
FTR line-up. This liquid-cooled powerplant churns out 126 PS of power and has
an impressively flat torque curve. Speaking of torque, it generates 120 Nm
which provides the bike with an impressive low-end punch for exhilarating
riding experience.
In terms of electronics, the FTR Carbon
comes equipped with features such as lean-angle sensitive stability control,
ABS, traction control and wheelie mitigation control. It also has 3 riding
modes - Sport, Standard, Rain - that alter the bike’s throttle responses and
traction control intervention levels. Indian Motorcycle has also included a
4.3-inch fully-digital and fully-colour instrument cluster with Bluetooth
connectivity and USB fast-charger port.
