MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Indian Motorcycle, America's First Motorcycle Company, today announced its model year 2026 lineup, unveiling the Sport Scout RT, new paint and graphics, and adding new distinctive Indian Motorcycle accessories across its cruiser, bagger and touring lineup.

"Scout is a market-leading, globally recognized 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 unrivaled 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 10 gallons of weatherproof storage and are capable of fitting an entire set of riding gear, including boots, pants, a jacket and gloves. Whether commuting, cruising, or on a weekend getaway, the top-down design is incredibly convenient and maximizes cargo capacity.

New color matched fenders and quarter fairing paired with new graphics give the Sport Scout RT a complete custom-inspired look straight from the factory. Stylish gloss black 5.5-inch moto style risers with machine highlights come standard. Machined triples and moto handlebars complete the package, both in custom looks and dialed 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.

Starting at $16,999, the Sport Scout RT is available in the Limited +Tech trim in Black Smoke, Chalk, and Sunset Red Metallic.
