2020 Indian Scout Sixty

“A perfectly reasonable marriage of low-slung style with a lower price tag and an easygoing, manageable ride”—features that are the makings of a beginner-friendly cruiser and that’s what you get with the 2020 Indian Scout Sixty. The Scout Sixty’s “easygoing, manageable ride” is attributed to its blacked-out 1,000cc V-twin with its smooth power delivery and healthy dollop of low-end punch, as we say in our first look. The low 26.6-inch (unladen) seat height, tracker-style handlebar, 1.5-inch closer footpegs, and black colorway variations ultimately give it its low-slung ergos and aggressive looks. The intended audience are newer riders who are looking to cruise around town in menacing style.

Indian Scout Sixty Updates For 2020

Changes made to the model include new five-spoke cast aluminum wheels, new Kenda tires, new tracker handlebar, and closer footpegs. The engine remains unchanged though it is blacked out with some polished treatments.

Keeping it simple, Indian only provides three colorways: Thunder Black (ABS and non-ABS), Burgundy Metallic (ABS), and Pearl White over Titanium Metallic (ABS). The non-ABS Thunder Black starts the MSRP off at $8,999 and then ranges up to $10,799 for Pearl White over Titanium Metallic.
