Indian Motorcycle rolls out 2026 lineup with new Sport Scout RT, new Sport Scout Sixty, fresh paint & all-new accessories.Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, today announced its model year 2026 lineup, unveiling the Sport Scout RT, new Sport Scout Sixty, new paint and graphics, and adding new distinctive Indian Motorcycle accessories across its cruiser, bagger and touring lineup.
“Scout is a market-leading, globally recognised icon, and with the debut of the Sport Scout RT, we’re redefining what it means to ride an Indian Scout,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President – Indian Motorcycle. “Through a host of new updates across the lineup, we’re not just holding our ground as the best cruiser on the road — we’re raising the bar by offering riders around the world an unrivalled way to experience the open road.”
SPORT SCOUT RT
Leveraging the timeless style and perfect proportions of Scout’s DNA, today’s Indian Scout has been reshaped into the most capable American cruiser available. With a 1250cc V-twin engine, tucked into a next-generation steel tube frame, form and function combine to deliver iconic Scout flair and spirited performance across the entire lineup.
New for 2026, Indian Motorcycle has introduced Sport Scout RT – featuring a modern design and adding a more aggressive and capable spirit to the Scout lineup. Locking Rigid Saddlebags offer over 37 litres of weatherproof storage and are capable of fitting an entire set of riding gear, including boots, trousers, a jacket and gloves. Whether commuting, cruising, or on a weekend getaway, the top-down design is incredibly convenient and maximises cargo capacity.
New colour-matched fenders and quarter fairing paired with revised graphics give the Sport Scout RT a complete custom-inspired look straight from the factory. Stylish gloss black 140 mm moto style risers with machined highlights come standard. Machined triples and moto handlebars complete the package, both in custom looks and dialled ergonomics. Its sport solo seat provides lower back support and offers incredible comfort on longer rides without compromising the bike’s sleek styling. The Sport Scout RT’s quarter fairing not only keeps wind off the rider’s chest but delivers a stylish and custom look straight from the factory. Sport Scout RT’s 19-inch front wheel adds to the aggressive nature of the bike – both in design and agile handling.
Featuring the Limited +Tech trim, the Sport Scout RT is available in Black Smoke with graphics, Sunset Red Metallic with graphics, and Chalk.
SPORT SCOUT SIXTY
The Indian Scout Sixty represents Indian Motorcycle’s most approachable lineup – priced to provide more riders the opportunity to create stories worth sharing. Expanding on this universal accessibility, iconic American design, and a legendary balance of power and control, the new Sport Scout Sixty adds a more aggressive and sporty choice alongside the Scout Sixty Bobber and Scout Sixty Classic.
Sport Scout Sixty’s Mini Ape Handlebars and integrated risers improve reach and control for more sporty riding. The sport-style seat provides riders with more comfort and allows them to ride longer, without compromising the bike’s sleek style. A Quarter Fairing provides wind protection while adding a stylish, custom look straight from the factory. A class-leading low seat height delivers a confidence-inspiring ride for motorcyclists of all sizes and experience levels, while a low centre of gravity gives the bike a lightweight feel off the kickstand and exceptional low-speed manoeuvrability. Standard mid controls keep riders’ feet planted firmly below for easier riding and better control. Finishing off the Sport Scout Sixty is a 19-inch front wheel – adding style and delivering agile handling.
Featuring the Limited trim, the Sport Scout Sixty is available in Black Smoke and is also available in A2 specification for younger riders.
