About

  • Nimble Handling: 17 in wheels with Metzeler Sportec tires and street tuned suspension provide planted cornering, agility, and agile handling.
  • Poised For Thrills: Class-leading 87 ft-lbs of torque and 120hp with smooth power delivery to push your heart to the back of your chest and your concerns to the back of your mind. Worthy Of A Double Take: The modern, monochromatic matte-black paint is interrupted by bold red highlights, including the Indian Motorcycle script on the tank, pinstripes on the wheels, and a rear spring that'll be the last thing they see as you blow by.
  • Fully Adjustable Suspension: Make it yours with fully adjustable front suspension and piggyback rear shocks to let you tune your ride to the exact feel you want.
  • Stopping Power: An inverted front suspension coupled with radially mounted dual 320 mm Brembo® brakes provide incredible stopping ability.
  • Confidence Inspiring Riding Position: A new, lower seat height inspires confidence and comfort. Together with a gas tank that is strategically located under the seat, the FTR has a lower center of gravity and exceptional handling for all riders.
  • Comfort At Any Speed: An enhanced throttle feel and smooth predictable response make the bike scream without making you break a sweat, thanks to improved heat management and rear cylinder deactivation that sends the heat off your back tire—and not into you.
  • Light Your Way: Light the night with style with full LED high output lighting.
  • Cruise In Comfort: Ride longer in comfort with cruise control standard. Because once you head out, you're bound to be going for the long haul.

Please Note: Must have a valid Motorcycle License and be 25 years or older.
