Indian Motorcycle's 2026 Lineup: The Sport Scout RT and More

Indian Motorcycle has officially unveiled its much-anticipated 2026 lineup, introducing the new Sport Scout RT, updated paint options, and a variety of accessories. Known for innovation and quality, Indian Motorcycle aims to raise the bar for riders seeking both style and capability.

A New Addition: The Sport Scout RT

The standout of the 2026 lineup is undoubtably the Sport Scout RT. Harnessing the classic Scout DNA, the Sport Scout RT combines aggressive styling with modern capabilities. The motorcycle is powered by a robust 1250cc V-twin engine, nestled within a durable steel tube frame that ensures both form and function.

What sets the Sport Scout RT apart are its factory-fitted Locking Rigid Saddlebags, offering over 10 gallons of weatherproof storage. This feature allows riders to easily pack their entire gear—from rider pants to boots. The clever top-down design not only maximizes cargo capacity but also caters to the practical needs of daily commuters and weekend travelers alike.

The bike’s aesthetics have seen a refreshing makeover as well. New color-coordinated fenders and quarter fairing create a custom-inspired look, complete with gloss black risers and stylish handlebars. Added comfort is provided through a sport solo seat designed to support the lower back, making longer rides more enjoyable without sacrificing style. The Sport Scout RT also features a distinctive quarter fairing, shielding riders from wind while enhancing the bike's overall appearance.

With a starting price of $16,999, the Sport Scout RT is available in a sleek Limited +Tech trim across three new color options: Black Smoke, Chalk, and Sunset Red Metallic.

Fresh Paint and Graphics

Indian Motorcycle has also introduced a range of lavish paint options for the 2026 model year. The vibrant new colors enhance the visual identity of their baggers and touring models. Among the new palettes is the eye-catching Black Crystal and Super Graphite, which comes with accented finishes. Other standout colors include a new Deep Blue Metallic and unique finishes on models such as the 101 Scout and Chieftain PowerPlus.

Along with these paint updates, the bike tanks on several Chief models are also receiving a graphic refresh, retaining the legendary Indian flair while adding modern edge.

Authentic Indian Motorcycle Accessories

Indian Motorcycle is determined to provide riders the opportunity to customize their bikes further through a newly expanded accessory range. The catalog for 2026 includes practical items such as:

• - PowerBand Audio Bluetooth® Speaker: This innovative audio system fits perfectly between the handlebars, complete with two mid-range speakers and a subwoofer to deliver high-quality sound at highway speeds.
• - Locking Rigid Saddlebags: Journeys are made easier with additional storage that ensures gear remains safe and secure on the road. Since these are standard on the Sport Scout RT, compatibility extends across other Scout models as well.
• - Adjustable Brake and Clutch Levers by Gilles Tooling: These premium quality levers allow riders to fine-tune their control for optimal performance.
• - 8" Pullback Handlebars: Riders looking for a more relaxed riding position will find these risers not only improve comfort but also amplify the bike's aesthetic appeal.

Accessories for the Indian Chief

For the Indian Chief models, excited new accessories aim to enhance comfort and ergonomics. From a luxurious two-tone Two-Up High Bolster Seat to a Syndicate Reduced Reach Seat, Indian Motorcycle is committed to catering to all riders. Each accessory is thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum comfort while enhancing the overall riding experience.

Expanding Touring Accessories

The 2026 lineup also features new accessories for longer journeys, including:

• - Spirit Lake Saddlebag Liner Travel Bags: Made from high-quality polyester, these bags fit neatly within the saddlebags, adding convenience for long trips.
• - Spirit Lake Wheeled Touring Bag: This stylish, spacious bag features wheels and a telescoping handle for easy transport, making it ideal for road trips.
