The new Sport Scout RT: a tailor-made cruiser with a purpose
The Sport Scout RT redefines what riders expect from Indians entry-level cruiser family. It features a 1250cc V-twin engine in a next-generation tubular steel frame, delivering the same unmistakable Scout DNA, but with a more capable, touring-friendly edge.
Indian gave the Sport Scout RT locking rigid saddlebags with more than 45 liters of waterproof storage space, plus a sport solo saddle for long-distance comfort. A quarter fairing, 19-inch front wheel and moto-style bars and risers complete the look, giving it the look of a custom build straight from the factory.
Standard features on the latest Scout model include Limited + Tech: ABS, 4-inch display powered by RIDE COMMAND, Keyless Ignition, ABS, riding modes, USB charging port, cruise control and traction control.
Design details meet modern functionality with the new 4-inch display powered by RIDE COMMAND, giving riders a seamless connection between technology and the road. The system offers built-in GPS navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity and a range of driving-enhancing features that make every journey effortless and intuitive. Beyond the ride itself, RIDE COMMAND+ brings a new level of connectivity with Account Sync and additional smart features, allowing riders to personalize their experience and stay connected wherever they go.
The new Indian Sport Scout RT model starts at $16,999 and comes in Black Smoke, Chalk and Sunset Red Metallic, available exclusively in the Limited +Tech trim.
“With 92% of our riders joining the brand through Scout, it is vital that we continue to listen to rider feedback and evolve the platform to meet their needs and improve their experience. Scout is our most successful platform, with more than 100,000 motorcycles sold over the last decade. And for the first time since the launch of the current Scout platform, we are renewing the entire range and introducing a new model version. For 2026, riders will be able to thoughtful refinements, enhanced performance and design enhancements that build on what riders already love about Scout.”
