Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today introduced the next evolution of the iconic Indian Scout. Leveraging authentic Scout DNA, the all-new 2025 Indian Scout lineup builds upon its unparalleled history with five models, three trim levels, and more than 100 Scout family accessories for endless personalization. With roots celebrating Indian Motorcycle’s rich history, the new Scout family delivers a unique combination of iconic American design, a legendary balance of power and control, and new rider-centric technology.

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 instills 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.

“Scout is the most iconic American cruiser of all time and is synonymous with the Indian Motorcycle brand,” said Mike Dougherty, President for Indian Motorcycle. “As our top-selling platform, Scout has long been a staple in our lineup. And while riders around the world love the current Scout offering, we’re excited to take it to the next level and continue its evolution with a robust offering of models to meet the diverse needs of our global riding community.”

“Having the opportunity to lead the design efforts for the next evolution of Scout is a dream come true,” said Ola Stenegard, Director of Product Design for Indian Motorcycle. “Our top priority was to uphold the iconic namesake of Scout and ensure the new lineup is as timeless as all its predecessors. For us, it was imperative to keep it clean, follow the iconic lines of Scout, and create a package that offered seamless customization. To achieve this, it all started with the steel tube frame and all-new, V-Twin engine.”

At the heart of the all-new Indian Scout is a completely redesigned 1250cc liquid-cooled, V-Twin engine – the SpeedPlus 1250. Delivering up to 111 horsepower and north of 82 ft-lbs of torque, each Indian Scout offers crisp acceleration and superior passing power. Electronic fuel injection provides consistent fueling for smooth throttle response, while a responsive six-speed transmission keeps all the power easily within reach for sporty riding.

“Scout is a beloved model and the most iconic and historic of our lineup, resonating with all types of riders, men and women, from all over the world,” said Ben Lindaman, Product Director for Indian Motorcycle. “Since launching the current Scout 10 years ago, the mid-sized cruiser segment has evolved. After conducting tons of research, rider insights drove our developments that prioritized the Scout’s iconic styling, its class-leading performance, and new rider-centric technology.”

To evolve an American icon like Indian Scout, Indian Motorcycle focused its efforts in three areas. First and foremost, the new 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. Lightweight and a low seat height of 25.6-inches offers nimble handling and inspires rider confidence. The third priority when engineering the all-new Indian Scout was technology. While rider-centric technology wasn’t a priority for riders 10 years ago, it is today. The new 2025 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.

A completely new platform, built from the ground up, the 2025 Indian Scout lineup comprises five models with trim levels – ensuring there’s a style and price point for its diverse mix of riders.

Trim Levels

New for model year 2025, the Indian Scout family is available with three technology trim levels. Standard Trim provides an offering at an attainable price point to get riders into the lineup, while the Limited Trim takes it to the next level and introduces rider-centric technology. At the top of the line, Limited +Tech Trim delivers the best-of-the-best, with the most ride-enhancing technology ever offered on an Indian Scout.

Standard

Starting the lineup are three models with standard equipment: Scout Classic, Scout Bobber, and Sport Scout. Each of these models come standard with ABS, new LED lighting, and an analog gauge with newly introduced fuel level and fuel economy readouts – perfect for riders looking to get into the all-new Scout lineup at a lower price point.

Limited

The Indian Scout’s Limited Trim adds to the Standard Trim with the premium badging and the next level of usable technology. Traction Control provides confident, predictable handling in all conditions, while Cruise Control improves comfort when traversing long, highway rides. A USB Charger keeps riders connected, while three selectable ride modes, including Sport, Standard, and Tour, allow riders to adjust throttle response to dial-in their ride experience. Riders can choose from Scout Classic Limited, Scout Bobber Limited, and Sport Scout Limited.

Limited +Tech

At the top of the line, Limited +Tech Trim delivers an unrivaled Indian Scout experience. Continuing to build upon Standard and Limited features, Limited +Tech Trim introduces Indian Motorcycle’s 4” Round Touchscreen Display Powered by RIDE COMMAND to the Scout platform. This display offers a GPS system with turn-by-turn navigation and point-to-point route planning, as well as weather and traffic overlay, configurable gauges, ride stats and more to enhance the riding experience. To not only elevate the ride but also ownership as well, unlock critical bike data with RIDE COMMAND+ connected services; Access industry-leading technology with Bike Health, Bike Locator and more so you can stay in tune with your Scout. Limited +Tech Trim also offers a push-button, keyless ignition, for convenient on-off capabilities and a premium experience. While standard on 101 Scout and Super Scout models, riders can level up when choosing Scout Classic, Scout Bobber, and Sport Scout models.
