Scout Bobber

The Scout Bobber shares the Scout's 1,250cc liquid-cooled V-twin and 25.6-inch seat height in a stripped-down, low-slung profile — the most style-focused entry in Indian's Scout lineup. The slammed rear suspension delivers only 2 inches of travel and a notoriously harsh ride over bumps; this is a style-first city cruiser, not a comfortable long-distance bike.
