Indian is not willing that any company, has the name it has, coughs it in 2020. The American dean wants to put all the meat on the grill and has already hinted at what her bets will be for next year.

For now, the company of the 'Indian Chief' has already announced the two versions with which he wants to commemorate the century of life of the Scout, his most representative model: the 100th Anniversary and the Scout Bobber Twenty. But Indian Motorcycle will also release a renewed line of ‘touring’ models, more complete in performance and with a much more effective cycle equipment.

For starters, the exclusive 100th Anniversary, of which only 750 copies will be manufactured, is a candy for the nostalgic. Designed on the basis of the most iconic motorcycle in its history, it is based on the characteristic and charming classic style of the first Scout, maintaining its most recognizable features: red paint with emblem and gold trim, to which the single-seat saddle is added floating brown leather, spoke wheels with black finish, and a series of chrome elements, such as the luggage rack and the headlight. It also retains its 1,133 cc twin-cylinder engine with 97 Nm of torque.
The new Scout Bobber Twenty, on the other hand, also pays tribute to its 1920 namesake, while retaining its most significant characteristics. This is a more radical bobber, with improvements in ergonomics and colorful darkened chrome finishes, such as the 10-inch black Ape Hanger handlebar. In addition, it offers three paint options: Sagebrush Smoke, Burnished Metallic and Thunder Black.

Other attractive novelties for 2020 will be the return of the Scout, the Scout Sixty and the Scout Bobber, equipped with improvements in the most outstanding functions, such as the braking system, with new floating discs, or the inclusion of Pirelli MT 60 RS tires . In addition, the North American firm plans to launch a whole range of innovative accessories ‘touring’, among which stand out the fairing with two-color termination, new semi-rigid suitcases easily placed and waterproof, as well as a windshield screen.

In terms of technological advances, the main tricks of Indian for next season will be in the impressive Thunder Stroke 116 engine and in the renewal of its information and entertainment system called Ride Command, which retains the 7-inch screen, but enhanced With a quad-core processor. This new infotainment system will allow you to know, among other things, the state of traffic and meteorology, helping us to mark the most appropriate route, and even offering predictive searches as Google does.

Regarding the Thunder Stroke 116, the new engine that the Polaris Group engineers have worked on since they bolted Victory, it should be noted that this is a powerful 1,901 cc V-Twin air cooling and a thrust of 168 Nm, and that will be predictably the one that gives life to the new projects of motorcycles 'cruiser' of the company.

The new rapid-release fairing along with the two-inch windshield, available for both the Scout Sixty as well as the entire Scout range, complete the list of technical innovations. In addition to an endless number of additional accessories exclusive to Indian to customize your motorcycle to your liking, both in comfort and design.

But the thing is not there. The new version of the Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse, as well as the refurbished Indian Springfield, Indian Springfield Dark Horse, Chief Dark Horse, Chief Vintage and Chieftain Elite are also expected by 2020.

The new Roadmaster Dark Horse, with darkened finishes as the name suggests, does not give up the chrome details. It has an aerodynamic fairing and is equipped with a series of luxury accessories: trunk, with rigid suitcases, 19-inch front wheel with open fender, heated cuffs, side guards, Rogue chair ... An ambitious machine perfectly equipped for long-distance trips .
As you can see, a lot and good, although there are still those who claim Indian more innovation in their ideas. In your case, does it meet your expectations?
