Introducing Indian Scout Bobber – Indian Motorcycle
by Indian Motorcycle
I say “new” because the Scout moniker has been used in association with the Indian marque since 1920, and this is the first iteration under the Polaris umbrella. The factory took its popular Scout and beat it with the “custom stick” to give it a flavor not unlike what was coming out of shops and home garages back in the day. To call it “blackout” doesn’t do it justice; aside from the sheet metal, everything that can be black, is black, and of course, the Thunder Black models carry that achromatic finish all over.
All models come with polished elements on the engine that mimic the exposed pushrod tubes of old and a bit of bright badging on the engine as the only bits of bling. Both the front- and rear-fenders on the Scout Bobber are chopped, or “bobbed,” to their minimum effective size to create the bulk of the homejob-custom vibe the factory was going for. Of course, the rear suspension setup that mimics the geometry of the old rigid frames helps with that antique-custom look quite a bit, as do the side-mount tagholder and the bar-end mirrors. A headlight nacelle dresses up the front end with a radiator grille below that, admittedly, is fairly unobtrusive when viewed from the front, and all but disappears when viewed in profile, so I can’t really complain about aesthetics as far as the rad is concerned.
The 3.3-gallon, teardrop fuel tank makes a long, gentle slope down to the two-tone solo saddle that cups and supports your butt at a mere 25.6 inches off the ground and makes its own contribution to the classic-custom panache. Even the exhaust system does its bit with a blackout finish and shotgun-muffler arrangement that fits right in with the other elements. You can take the look even further with a trip through the accessories catalog where the laced wheels, mini-apes, and antique-style seats live. Again, you won’t be able to hit a specific historical model, but you can certainly adopt the spirit of an era.

She Said
My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton, says, “I like the black-out look; very slick and sinister. The seat isn’t as comfortable as I would like and I’m kinda glad I don’t have anything down there that would get pinched on a bump ’cause I can see that happening. The center of gravity is low, so maneuvering is very balanced. The seat height is super low; those of us height-challenged folks will flat-foot it, no problem, but taller folks might feel a bit clam-shelled. It’s quite lightweight, of course, since it is a bobber. The engine has plenty of get-up-and-go and you will definitely feel the low-down grunt. I like it. It’s a bare-bones bike, which means when you ride, it’s just you and the machine. That can be a very nice feeling.”
Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber Chassis
- Better-than-average tracking at speed
- Agile handling
- ABS
- Lowered rear suspension
<quote|title=
The most interesting thing about the Scout Bobber frame is how it seems to mimic the hardtail geometry without going as far to sell the look as Harley-Davidson does with its Softails and their triangular swingarms. A coil-over shock lays over at a rather extreme angle to form the upper line of the Bobber’s open triangle. They work with a fairly standard, yoke-style swingarm to complete the assembly and articulate the rear wheel on two inches (50 mm) of travel.
Standard, 41 mm forks buoy the front end on 4.7 inches (120 mm) of travel, and they push the front wheel for a 61.5-inch wheelbase with a 29-degree rake and 4.7 inches of trail. Those steering figures are indicative of better-than-average tracking at speed with a 29-degree maximum lean angle and enough agility so that it doesn’t turn into a wrestling match in the corners.
Stopping duties fall to 298 mm rotors with a dual-piston anchor up front and single-pot caliper out back, and for the first time, ABS coverage is available on all colors as standard equipment and only the Thunder Black model comes with a non-ABS variant. Gotta’ say, I like that way of doing it better than the way the factory used to mix and match ABS and palette packages. The Bobber rocks some fat rubber with a 130/90 up front, a 150/80 out back and a 16-inch blackout rim all around to finish out the rolling chassis.

Технические особенности
В течение нескольких лет шла работа над созданием абсолютно нового поколения мотоцикла Indian Scout Bobber. Годы кропотливой работы не прошли зря. Этот мотоцикл способен на очень многое. Двигатель V-Twin выдает 100 лошадиных сил.
Новый двигатель — это настоящее инженерное произведение искусств. Достоинства: высокая мощность на холостых оборотах и удивительная эластичность. V-образный, 2-цилиндровый с жидкостным охлаждением мотор способен стать помощником для новичка, прощая ему неточности. А также продемонстрировать характер и динамику, что понравится истинным ценителям и знатокам мототехники.
Приятные детали:
- рубленые крылья;
- шины Knobby;
- динамичный протектор шины;
- номерной знак сбоку;
- опускаемая задняя подвеска;
- целенаправленное положение штифта;
- рулевое колесо уличного трекера для низкого профиля.
Уверенности в безопасности во время движения Индиан Скаут Боббер придаёт сильнейший в своём классе момент тяги, который доступен уже с самых «низов». Мотор соединяется с 6-ступенчатой механической коробкой с потрясающим по ощущению и плавности переключением передач.
