A Cruiser Icon Reinvented

The Indian Scout name has been a cruiser icon for over 100 years. Now, the 2025 Indian Scout is a complete reboot – and this isn’t just a mild refresh. With a brand new engine family, upgraded tech and five distinct models, Indian Motorcycle is looking to shake up the midsize cruiser market.

Design That’s Classic and Modern

The styling stays true to the Scout DNA – low-slung, muscular and instantly recognizable. But each model has its own flavor:

• Scout Classic – Chrome details, full fenders and wire-spoke wheels for traditionalists.
• Scout Bobber – Blacked out and stripped down, built for attitude.
• Sport Scout – Quarter fairing and sporty stance for a more aggressive ride.
• Super Scout – Touring friendly with saddlebags, windscreen and comfort focused features.
• 101 Scout – The performance focused flagship with upgraded suspension and braking hardware.

No matter your style, there’s a Scout for you.

The New Heart: SpeedPlus V-Twin

The biggest news is under the tank. Indian has introduced a new liquid-cooled SpeedPlus V-twin in two displacements:

• 999cc (SpeedPlus 999): 85hp, 87Nm, 5-speed gearbox – approachable and fun.
• 1250cc (SpeedPlus 1250): 105hp and 108Nm, 6-speed transmission. The 101 Scout gets a special tune for 111hp and 109Nm, making it the most powerful in the lineup.

The result is a new riding experience that’s both powerful and incredibly smooth. You get a flatter, more responsive torque curve for effortless acceleration – making the Scout as thrilling to ride on twisty roads as it is comfortable to cruise around town.

Tech That Keeps You Connected

Indian has split the 2025 Scout into three trim levels:

• Standard: Includes all-new LED lighting, an analog gauge with a small digital insert, and dual-channel ABS, which is now standard on all models.
• Limited: Adds modern conveniences like cruise control, traction control, and three selectable ride modes (Standard, Sport, Tour).
• Limited + Tech: This premium package features a 4-inch touchscreen powered by Indian’s Ride Command system, a keyless ignition, and connected services like navigation.

Ride and Handling

A new steel tube frame and a low seat height ensure the Scout is still welcoming to new riders and rewarding to veterans with its confidence-inspiring geometry. Meanwhile, the 101 Scout’s upgraded suspension with inverted forks and stronger brakes means serious handling credentials to match its power.

Price & Positioning

Indian is playing it smart by pricing the 2025 Indian Scout lineup against the Harley-Davidson Sportster S. From entry level trims to tech loaded models, the Scout family now covers a wide range of cruiser buyers.

Last Word

he 2025 Indian Scout isn’t just a refresh; it’s a full-on reinvention. By combining a powerful new engine with a diverse lineup and modern tech, Indian Motorcycle is making a bold statement in the American V-twin market. This is a bike that honors its history while confidently riding into the future – and it’s impossible to ignore.
