2020 Indian Scout 100th Anniversary and Scout Bobber Twenty Announced

Indian Motorcycle has announced its 2020 Scout lineup, including an array of new touring accessories and two special edition models celebrating 100 years of the Scout’s debut in 1920. Confirming our report from last week, the two models are the Indian Scout 100th Anniversary and the Indian Scout Bobber Twenty.

“The Indian Scout has stood the test of time as one of the most influential, iconic and recognizable motorcycles in the world,” said Reid Wilson, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle. “100 years is an incredibly special milestone, and it made perfect sense to honor Scout’s history and legacy with these two heritage-inspired 2020 models.”

In addition to the touring accessories, Indian is also offering a new stage 1 shorty slip-on muffler kit and a 2-into-1 full exhaust system

For 2020, all Scouts (including the Bobber and the Scout Sixty) will receive brake calipers, master cylinders and floating rotors. All 2020 Scout Bobber models will also now come with Pirelli MT60RS tires while the regular 2020 Scout gets a new sport seat and passenger pegs.

The Indian Scout Bobber Twenty (as in nineteen twenty) comes with wire wheels and a floating saddle in a nod to the original Scout. The Bobber Twenty also comes with 10-inch ape hanger handlebars and a mix of chrome and blacked-out finishes.

The Twenty will not be a limited edition model like the Scout 100th Anniversary, and it’s priced at a smaller premium over the regular Scout Bobber. The non-ABS model will only be offered in Thunder Black with a price of $11,999. ABS-equipped models are priced at $12,899 and will be available in three color options: Thunder Black, Sagebrush Smoke and Burnished Metallic.

For 2020, Indian is introducing new accessories to turn a Scout into a tourer. The Scout and Scout Sixty can be outfitted with color-matched quick-release fairings with a two-inch windshield or optional five- or seven-inch shields. Also available are a solo luggage rack and solo rack bag. Indian will also offer new semi-rigid quick-release saddlebags starting over the winter.

Other new accessories include a new seat for the Bobber and bar end mirrors, smoked turn signal lenses, tinted windshields and various handlebar and foot control options for the Scout and Scout Sixty.
