2025 Indian Scout Classic, Scout Bobber & Super Scout

Totally redesigned cruiser series boosts power and adds tech this year.

Indian’s flagship Scout series received a full redesign for model year 2025, with a new frame, larger engine, and added electronics. The Scout Classic (shown) is the base model.Indian Motorcycle

Overview

Once Indian totally reinvented the Chief platform in 2022, we all knew the Scout would be next on the drawing board—the platform is hugely important to the brand, having sold more than 100,000 models globally. And that’s exactly what’s transpired for the 2025 model year, with the Scout’s redesign sticking to its iconic American styling while boosting power and incorporating rider-aid technology (the latter of which the previous generation was sorely lacking). With a fresh design focusing on the new liquid-cooled 1,250cc SpeedPlus engine and a redesigned steel tube front frame with a new subframe, the Scout series reemerges with five uniquely styled machines that share similar bones, but diverge in their looks and ergonomics. We’ll talk about the three most similar models here: the Scout Classic, Scout Bobber, and Super Scout, which are available in three different trims.

In short, the standard trim is the most basic level, and includes ABS, LED lighting, and an analog gauge with new fuel level/economy readouts; the bikes come only in black at this level. The Limited trim takes it up a notch by adding more colors, rider-centric technology, like traction control, cruise control, and three selectable ride modes. At the top of the line is the Limited +Tech trim, which also adds Indian’s 4-inch round touchscreen display with turn-by-turn navigation, configurable gauges, ride stats, and keyless ignition to the above.

In standard trim, the 2025 Indian Scout rolls with the new liquid-cooled SpeedPlus 1,250cc V-twin, LED lighting, and an analog gauge; ABS is standard. Upgrading to the Limited (shown) or Limited +Tech trim gets you more tech and other features.Indian Motorcycle

The starting point for the series is the Scout Classic (formerly known as just the Scout) which leans into the heritage angle, with its chrome highlights, flared fenders, and wire wheels paired to a pullback handlebar. A low 26.8-inch seat and relaxed ergonomics make for a familiar profile, with 16-inch spoke wheels and a basic 41mm telescopic fork to shore up the ride. Like the other Scouts, it gets a reshaped, 3.4-gallon fuel tank and 2-into-1 exhaust (as opposed to the 2-into-2 unit of its predecessor).

The Super Scout builds on the Classic, enhancing it with light touring amenities like bags and a removable windshield. It also gets more premium paint and badging.Indian Motorcycle

The Super Scout echoes the Classic’s retro cues but adds saddlebags, a windshield, and passenger pegs to the standard package, for light touring duty. The quick-release shield can be swapped out when you want a different look, and the 41mm fork delivers 4.7 inches of travel, while the dual outboard shocks give you 3 inches of travel. Chrome finishes and fetching paint schemes give the whole shebang a premium look.

The Super Scout comes standard with the Limited +Tech trim, which gives you ride modes, cruise control, and the 4-inch TFT display powered by Ride Command with GPS. Two-tone paint is extra.Indian Motorcycle

Lastly—and most affordably—is the Scout Bobber, a blacked-out, slimmed-down rig that rolls in with the same chopped fenders, chunky headlight nacelle and minimalist style of its predecessor. Thanks to its bobber-style solo seat (the lowest here, at 26.2 inches), a slammed 2-inches-of-travel rear suspension, and fat balloon tires on cast wheels, it also sports different dimensions, ergonomics, and handling qualities.

The Scout Bobber is the lowest priced of the series, and boasts a slammed, low-riding stance with blacked-out components and cast wheels.Indian Motorcycle
