Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, has introduced its 2026 lineup, led by the debut of the new Sport Scout RT and a range of updated paint and graphics. The brand says the Scout remains a globally recognised icon, and that the Sport Scout RT, along with broader lineup refinements, is designed to raise the bar for cruiser riders and deliver an even more compelling open-road experience worldwide.
Indian Sport Scout RT
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 can fit 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 maximises cargo capacity.
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 colour 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 dialled 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, Sport Scout RT is available in the Limited +Tech trim in Black Smoke, Chalk, and Sunset Red Metallic.

Alongside these vibrant new colours, Indian Motorcycle refreshes tank graphics across several Indian Chief models. Updates to the Chief Dark Horse, Sport Chief, Super Chief Limited, and Super Chief Dark Horse add a fresh edge to the legendary lineup while preserving its unmistakable attitude.
