Indian Scout Sixty ABS

What's Good

The resurgence of the old Indian Scout Sixty has acquired something unique this time by the styling. Raising a question on the design and graphics of the cruiser would be totally absurd. The new giant has shared plenty of attributes of its big brother while many are fresh as well. Despite having enormous features, the bike is blessed with a low price tag, which is what the most attractive factor, undoubtedly. Though the engine displacement is lesser this time with one less gear too, the bike is a more suitable package than the bigger boy. Some of its pros are as follows:

• Unique Styling
• Chrome Finished Exhaust Pipe
• Unbeatable Power
• Spoke Wheels
• Matt Finish

What's Bad

Talking about the cons, the lack of sixth gear is what makes the people having second thoughts about the mid-weight hunk. Other than that, we believe that the cruiser doesn’t have any flaws.

Power and mileage

Needless to say, the Indian Scout Sixty has an equal proportion of style and performance altogether. The typical cruiser churns out a whooping power by a 999.6cc liquid-cooled, V-twin motor. Pulling the 254 kg Scout Sixty is not an easy job at all, therefore, a powerful unit like this was somehow needed on an obvious note. The motorcycle is fuel friendly and more refined because of the closed fuel injection. Below are its power and mileage figures:

• Engine displacement: 999.6cc
• Maximum Power: 78BHP at 7300 RPM
• Maximum Torque: 88.8NM at 5800 RPM
• Fuel System: Closed loop fuel injection
• Mileage: 25 KMPL

Handling and Riding

Riding a cruiser always gives maximum pleasure, which certainly any other bike can’t render up to that extent. However, handling the same cruiser is not as easy as it looks like. Rather, it becomes tedious for some bikers to handle a cruiser owing to its weight. Thanks to the efficient bodywork, the Scout Sixty is so handy when it comes to handling, despite having a muscular silhouette. The single V-designed vinyl seat provides support to the rider and gives maximum convenience. With the slightly higher position, the biker will feel more command on the bike.

Here are some of its handling and riding features:

• Convenient Seat
• Kerb weight: 254 kg
• Ground Clearance: 135mm
• ABS Braking
• Higher Riding Position

Safety

In the safety context, Indian has imparted ABS as a standard fitment into the cruiser apart from a 298mm front disc brake with 2-piston caliper while a 1-piston caliper and 298mm disc brake for the rear end. Heading towards the suspension configuration, 120mm travel telescopic forks at the front and 76mm travel adjustable dual shocks at the rear make the bike deal with bumpy roads. Safety factors are mentioned below:
