Performance and innovation are two terms that describe Indian Motorcycle as a brand: a company that is trying to constantly push the boundaries with every new launch. We don't remember the last time the company let their fans down with a new launch. For a brand that is constantly competing with Harley at the top level, the bar is indeed very high considering the elite array of motorcycles the company has produced over the years: the Roadster models, the Chieftain models, and more.
So what's in store next for the American motorcycle giant? Say hello to the 2021 Indian Scout Bobber. The new Scout Bobber retains the essence of the traditional Indian motorcycles and delivers a power-packed punch with a plethora of stunning features. What is the new Scout Bobber all about? What are some of its most impressive features?
Here's what we expect from the new 2021 Indian Scout Bobber.
A Powerhouse
The 2021 Indian Scout Bobber is built to outperform. It boasts an unparalleled combination of high engine power, a robust body, and versatile performance which make it an absolute beast of a bike. It comes equipped with a liquid-cooled V-Twin engine with 100 horsepower that delivers great acceleration and showcases impressive dynamics. The bike provides the added benefit of electronic fuel injection and optional ABS (anti-lock braking system) for the convenience and safety of the rider. This beauty rides like a stallion in full gallop with its craftily lowered suspension catching eyeballs as the monster goes on to generate a peak torque of up to 6,000 rpm.
Say yes to long rides thanks to the 3.3-gallon fuel capacity of the new Bobber. The superbike sports a smooth, six-speed transmission to enhance the performance and ensure a smooth ride.
At 5.1-inch, the 2021 Bobber's ground clearance seems near perfect, and the street-tracker handlebars fit like a glove. This monster is the ultimate heavyweight champion in its category, weighing in at about 555 lbs when the tank is full, and about 534 lbs when the tank needs juice. A sturdy, 6.2-inch wheelbase carries the thick and sturdy chassis with relative ease and the purposeful peg position provides a low-slung profile. The latest Scout Bobber's leather seats are designed in classical bobber style - to enable an aggressive riding position without compromising on comfort.
Designed with a combination of immense passion and the most advanced engineering, the latest Indian Motorcycle beast is an out-and-out powerhouse.
Raw And Stunning
The 2021 Indian Scout Bobber shows off a premium styled exclusive look. Designed with uncompromising attention to detail, the new Bobber flaunts a unique charisma that is impossible to ignore.
The chassis is as beautiful as it gets with blacked-out finishes charming the viewer from fender to fender. The raw sense of styling is pulled off diligently with side-mounted license plates making a stunning style statement.
The makers are aware the riders need their smartphones, whether it's a long or a short ride. Hence, the latest Bobber comes equipped with a hidden USB port for riders to charge their smartphone while they're on the go. The mainframe draws attention with the iconic 'INDIAN SCOUT' logo in a traditional bold font.
A host of color choices are made available to cater to the taste of Indian Motorcycle fans. The standard Thunder Black is available in traditional and custom (Thunder Black ABS) modes. Other color schemes include Thunder Black Smoke (ABS), White Smoke (ABS), Alumina Jade Smoke (ABS), and our favorite Maroon Metallic Smoke (ABS). Automobile lovers have the luxury of checking out a 3D version of the 2021 Indian Scout Bobber on the official website where they can even choose their custom options which include customizable seats, storage options, lighting options, wheel customizations, and accessories.
The Legacy Continues
Indian Motorcycle is a brand that bikers love and competitors revere. Not only do the company's machines stand tall and arm wrestle with the biggest names in the automobile market, but they also happen to boast a rich legacy. The first Indian Scout models were built between 1920 and 1949 by the Indian Motorcycle Company. They rivaled the Chief as the most significant Indian model. The 101 Scout was widely regarded, back then as the best Indian motorcycle ever made. A glance at the retro version will show you where the current models pick their inspiration from.
Sturdy, heavy-framed, and typically strong, the Scouts were used as military bikes in the Second World War, post which followed a period of dormancy. The war veteran was not rebuilt until 2001 when the company decided to assemble the newer version of the old boy in Gilroy, California known as the Gilroy Scout.
Two decades down, the 2021 Indian Scout Bobber is set to blow the benchmark tenfold with its dazzling looks and features. The 2020 version of the Indian Scout Bobber won over the public and paved the way for the newer, uniquely crafted version of the Bobber series. Stylish, comfortable, and robust, the 2021 Indian Scout Bobber is here to carry forward the legacy of its predecessors. With a factory warranty of 2 years and unlimited miles, the latest Scout Bobber has a starting price of $10,999 as per the company's official website.
