The Bobber bears the Scout’s 100 horsepower V-twin engine and other internal features that Indian fans love. The stripped-down new look also boasts a blacked-out color scheme, knobby tires, chopped fenders, a molded leather seat and a bold, muscular aesthetic that’s sure to satisfy aficionados of badass street bikes everywhere.

Other departures from the classic Indian Scout include tighter foot pegs and handlebars for the riders, a closer construction that allows for a more streamlined riding profile.

Indian wants the Scout Bobber experience to “deliver unfiltered feedback” to riders with what the company calls a “new muscular Scout” representing a “core passion” for street bike riders—”connecting to the road without a need” for frills and extras.

In some respects the Scout Bobber is a minimalist biker’s dream come true, made with the raw and rollicking spirit you’d expect from the company whose team so thoroughly dominates Flat Track racing.
