Meet the 2026 Indian Motorcycle® Scout® Bobber 125th Anniversary Edition—a midsize cruiser with a big-stage attitude, dressed to celebrate history and built to make new stories. Finished in **125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal**, it has that deep, dimensional sparkle that looks classy in the shade and absolutely electric when the sun hits it. Park it outside a coffee shop and you’ll catch people doing the slow walk-by. Twist the throttle and they’ll stop pretending they weren’t looking.
At the heart of this Scout Bobber is a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke **1250cc V Twin** with **2 cylinders** and an old-school-cool **OHV pushrod** valvetrain (4 valves total, 2 per cylinder). The numbers back up the feel: **105 bhp (78.4 kW)** and **82 ft-lbs (110 Nm)** of torque coming on at **6300 rpm**. It’s the kind of power that doesn’t need a pep talk—hit the electric starter, let the fuel injection do its thing through a **60mm** injector, and you’re ready for that first roll-on that turns “quick ride” into “accidentally took the long way.”
The ride experience is classic cruiser, but tight and purposeful. A **6-speed manual** transmission gives you room to play—short-shifting for a smooth glide through town or stretching the gears when the road opens up. Power makes its way through a **gear** primary drive and a **belt** final drive to keep things clean, quiet, and low-maintenance-feeling while you focus on the fun part: picking the next corner.
This Scout Bobber carries its stance like it means it. The **26.2-inch** seat height keeps you down in the bike, not perched on top of it, and the single **one-piece leather seat** reinforces the solo, stripped vibe. With a **61.5-inch** wheelbase, **29.4°** rake, and **4.9 inches** of trail, it strikes that sweet spot where it looks long and low but still tracks with confidence. The aluminum frame and aluminum wheels keep things modern underneath the vintage soul, while the bike’s **542-lb wet weight** gives it that planted, substantial feel at speed.
Up front, a **41mm telescopic fork** with **4.7 inches** of travel handles the day-to-day pavement reality, while the rear **twin-sided swing arm** setup delivers **2 inches** of travel with dual shocks—enough to stay composed without diluting the Bobber character. You get practical details too, like fork guards, a belt guard, and an exhaust guard—because looking good is great, but riding often is better.
Grip and stance come courtesy of **Pirelli® MT60RS** tires—**130/90B16** up front and **150/80B16** out back—wrapped around matching **16-inch** wheels. Braking is strong and straightforward with hydraulic discs at both ends: **11.7-inch (298mm)** rotors front and rear, with a **2-piston** front caliper and **1-piston** rear. It’s a simple, confident setup that matches the bike’s no-nonsense personality.
And because this is a modern anniversary machine, it brings tech along for the ride without stealing the spotlight. **RIDE COMMAND™ GPS**, **Bluetooth® audio**, and **mobile app instrumentation** keep you connected, while clear gauge-based warnings for temperature and fuel level help you stay in the moment. LED lighting finishes the package with crisp visibility and clean style.
The result is a celebratory Scout Bobber that feels equal parts heritage and heat—especially in that **125th Anniversary Red with Black Crystal** paint. It’s not trying to be everything. It’s trying to be your favorite ride.
