Indian 1133 SCOUT 2018

Menus

Each vintage brings new colors, but that’s not all. For 2018, the Scout invites itself to share. Foot rests and a passenger seat are now fitted as standard. An improvement of the chassis results in a new cartridge fork as well as a Pirelli pneumatic assembly. Continuity of improvement after the 2017 upgrade, where this Indian had already benefited from small alterations that everyone will appreciate on a daily basis: revised shock absorbers, better integrated wiring to improve aesthetics, improved steering lock, set of covers for the axle swingarm and revised exhausts for a better driving position. Small bonuses for this successful model and heir to Indian history. The Scout has also been available in A2 version since 2017; but for that, it was necessary to moderate the engine, which lost 6 horses. Penalizing? We will hardly feel the difference.

As the twentieth century began to take hold, the first of the terrible wars in history had gone through and the motorcycling industry was throbbing around the world, Indian decided to invest the medium-displacement market with the one that would become a huge success: the Scout. Almost a century later, this model is back on the market. With conviction, style and modernism. The Indian 1133 Scout may well fit into the range as the youngest, it is nonetheless the lightest, the most powerful, and the most surprising..

By power? Let’s see … The Scout makes 94 horsepower, which is a lot more than the manufacturer’s other models. However, its twin cube only 1133 cm3 and risks to face the big 1811 of Chief, and Roadmaster. Drop the numbers and check out this brand new block. A ribbed, taut, modern piece, rather offbeat for a nostalgic custom. V-twin of course, appearing to have been laser cut and not in a Kansas foundry; no fins; a big radiator making no effort to hide. No need to speculate: this new engine has a fleet to cool down. A first for Indian, yet another culture shock. 15 years after Harley-Davidson, Indian also comes to liquid cooling for a production model. And 40 years after the Japanese adopted it…
The brand thus seeks to seduce a new slice of bikers, with this machine halfway between the power-cruiser and the custom classic. Along with its long nags, the engine delivers 98 Nm of torque at a speed of 5,900 rpm. Watered by a 60 mm injection, it distributes the watts through a 6-speed gearbox. Also (especially?), This block exudes concern for the finish: look at these cavities dug in the cylinder heads, like crevices in the skull of a cyborg; pay attention to the carved initials; grab the protrusions of a delicate bur on the metal. The beast wants to be beautiful.

New engine, cycle part of the same ilk. The Scout is built on an aluminum frame adorned with a classic 41mm fork and a duo of side shocks. With 130 and 150 tires, the pneumatic assembly favors a certain liveliness rather than the muscular style of certain productions. Braking seems light, with a front brake disc of 298 mm pinched by a 2-piston caliper. Same diameter at the rear but the caliper is single-piston. The brand does not panic, specifying that the Scout, with only 244 kilos dry, plays in the lightweights. Yeah … Well, many American machines before her have bent to exercise; and others will also comply. And then the ABS is there. It will not increase the power but will avoid bowls.
The wheelbase is long at 1562 mm, the seat low (643 mm), the extended style, and the angle grips allowed up to 31 °. The pleasure that she will take pleasure in procuring seems to want to be shared only with the pilot. The Scout only appreciates an original seat, and reserves an aged Havana leather saddle for it..

With his return, the Indian Scout slips into his CV the memory of his performances: the conquest of the “Wall of death”, a production record in 1920, speed records with the famous Burt Monro in 1957, 1962 and 1967 The 1133 Scout is also a good rock in the pool of competition. Especially since the charm of originality and the pride of riding in Indian will greatly tip the scales.
