Indian Motorcycle rolls out 2026 lineup with the new Sport Scout RT

Indian Motorcycle recently announced its model year lineup for 2026, headlined by the all-new Sport Scout RT, as well as updated paint and graphics schemes to multiple models, and new accessories across its cruiser, bagger, and touring range.

“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,” says Aaron Jax, vice president of 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 style and proportions of Scout’s DNA — powered by a 1250cc V-twin engine, tucked into a next-generation steel tube frame — Sport Scout RT features a modern design and adds a more aggressive and capable spirit to the Scout lineup. Locking rigid saddlebags offer more than 10 gallons of weatherproof storage, capable of fitting an entire set of riding gear, with a top-down design that maximizes cargo capacity.

It features new color-matched fenders and quarter fairing paired with new graphics, while 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 comfort on longer rides, and the quarter fairing keeps wind off the rider’s chest. The 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.

Fresh paint and graphics

Leading the 2026 color palette is Indian’s all-new Black Crystal and Super Graphite with Championship Gold accent finish, available for the 101 Scout, Chieftain PowerPlus, and Indian Challenger.
