2023 Indian FTR range
Headlining the 2023 model year news for Indian Motorcycles is the introduction of a new FTR Sport.
Replacing FTR S, the FTR Sport sits just below the premium FTR R Carbon.
FTR Sport’s bold aesthetics and sporty componentry, chin fairing and seat cowl, and new colour scheme takes the FTR out of the dark and I think the lighter approach works really well.
New for 2023, the FTR Sport and FTR R Carbon are upgraded with a four-inch round touch-screen display powered by RIDE COMMAND, featuring navigation.
Three ride modes (Sport, Standard, Rain) provide unique performance experiences for varying preferences and riding conditions, while Lean Angle Sensitive Stability Control and ABS provide confident, predictable handling in all conditions.
The FTR R Carbon separates itself as the premium offering with carbon-fibre components, premium seat, fully adjustable Öhlins gold front forks and a gold piggy-back shock.
The FTR Sport touts a new tank panel design and is available in Black Metallic with Indy Red accents and White Lightning with Indy Red and Black Metallic accents.
The iconic Indian script logo tank panels are exclusive to the FTR R Carbon, which is finished with a classy Cloud Silver and Championship Gold pin-striping.
While primary componentry carry-over for FTR, all FTR models now offer a new sports exhaust muffler and a retuned front braking system, which provides a firmer feel.
Indian Motorcycle also moved the speedometer up for easier viewing and added a new clutch for improved feel and performance.
The 2023 Indian FTR Sport will go on sale for $25,995 Ride Away while the top spec’ FTR R Carbon will retail for $27,995 Ride Away. The 2023 Indian models are expected to start arriving in Australia from late March.
