Retooled line gets more power, new frame, and three variants. Roadmaster Elite debuts too.

When Indian came out with its completely reworked 1,250cc Scout lineup for 2025, there were a few conspicuous absences lower down in the portfolio, namely the smaller Scout Sixty bikes. That glaring omission has now been remedied, with Indian overhauling that lineup as well to reintroduce the all-new series for 2025, which now consists of three 999cc models: the Scout Bobber, the Sport Sixty Scout, and the Scout Sixty Classic, each getting a unique style but sharing many of the same foundational elements. As with the bigger Scouts, Indian addressed tech gaps in the Scout Sixty line, while also giving them more power and housing them all in that same new steel tube frame while adding standard ABS, with cruise control and riding mode options across the lineup. All that, says Indian, was done without straying from the Scout’s signature design and accessibility, two aspects that are crucial to the platform.

The 999cc SpeedPlus engine is allegedly “new,” and gets a power bump to 85 hp, but Indian is keeping quiet on the details. Transmission is still five speeds.Indian

The overhaul starts with the Scout Sixty’s SpeedPlus 999cc engine, because Indian says it’s the same “completely redesigned” mill as the larger SpeedPlus that debuted in the 2025 Scout (obviously with a different bore and stroke). But other than that, the brand didn’t share any details. For instance, the 999cc Vee gets a slight bump in power, to a claimed 85 hp, up 7 hp from last year’s 78 number, and while max torque stays the same as on the 2024 machines, it arrives later, at 6,500 rpm.

It’s the same story with the frame; in the release Indian mentions it is now a “steel tube” unit, so we’re assuming it’s the same new-gen frame that debuted on bigger brother Scout, because historically that’s been the case with the Scout and Scout Sixty platforms.

Other than those items, everything else looks to be a carryover, from the tank, which retains its shape and 3.4-gallon capacity; basic 41mm telescopic fork and dual shock suspension; and even the same single disc brake setup upfront, which is the same as on the current-model Scout 1250s. On the 2025 Scout Sixty models, the transmission retains a five-speed arrangement as well.

The Sport Scout Sixty wears a 19-inch wheel upfront but all models get the same single-disc front and rear brake setup and 41mm telescopic fork. ABS is now standard for all Scout Sixty bikes, and the latest steel tube frame carries over from the bigger Scout.Indian

Standard across the entire lineup are mid-controls, and now an antilock braking system (ABS) is included rather than optional. You can upgrade to traction control and ride modes on any of the bikes by stepping up to the Limited trim, but other than that, the main differences between the three models are wheel sizes, handlebar shape, tire choices, and slightly different geometry and suspension travel for the Bobber.

First up is the Scout Sixty Bobber, which brings back the same slammed stance and minimal styling as last year. In fact, you won’t find much different at all for 2025; a blacked-out everything with a black headlight bucket leading the way, and a solo bobber-style seat set at an über-low 25.6 inches riding atop a mere 2 inches of rear suspension, with fat 16-inch, five-spoke wheels on either end. The Bobber’s rake is a touch lazier and trail a bit longer, and it uses a 2-into-1 exhaust configuration, but you get the same everything else as the other Sixties.

The low-riding Bobber has the least amount of suspension travel out back, the lowest seat, and also the lowest MSRP.Indian

The Sport Scout Sixty emulates its bigger 1,250cc brother with a 19-inch front wheel, mini-ape bars set on risers, and a quarter fairing.Indian

With its slightly more aggressive profile and taller 19-inch front wheel, the Sport Scout Sixty looks to add some more performance and a bit of style to the Scout Sixty family. This bike essentially replaces last year’s Rogue model, riding with the same mini-ape handlebars and integrated risers for better control and pairing them with a more supportive sport-style seat. Upfront a quarter fairing provides a modicum of wind protection and completes the stylish, custom look, just like its bigger Sport Scout sibling.

The priciest model in the 2025 Scout Sixty family is the $11,999 Classic, which fleshes out the lineup with all the usual classic styling cues, but otherwise rolls with the same 999cc SpeedPlus engine, five-speed transmission, 41mm fork, and steel tube frame front section.Indian

Normally we’d call this the base model, but the Scout Sixty Classic is also the priciest of the group, thanks to its copious use of premium chrome, big ol’ flared fenders, and quality paint. The heritage-inspired design is typical for a classic cruiser, with a wide bar, low and wide seat, and relaxed ergonomics, all rolling on 16-inch cast wheels. Indian says all the Scout Sixties are compatible with Indian Scout 1,250cc accessories (over 100 of them) so we assume wire-spoked hoops are an option too.

The Scout Sixty Classic is available in Black Metallic, Springfield Blue, or Frost Silver. Standard trim is only available in Black Metallic. Indian

The 2025 Scout Sixty bikes will be available in two trim levels, Standard and Limited. Standard gives you just the basics, including ABS, LED lighting, a larger battery, new fuel level gauge for more accurate, real-time fuel monitoring, and new hand controls for improved ergonomics and control. Standard trim also means you get a basic analog gauge and keyed ignition and only one color choice: Black Metallic.

Limited trim ($700 upcharge) bumps the feature list up with the addition of cruise control, traction control, and the three ride modes—Sport, Standard, Rain—we’ve seen on the other Indian models to give riders a more tailored ride experience, along with a USB charging port to keep your devices charged while on the road. Limited models also feature exclusive badging, but that 4-inch touchscreen (and Ride Command) is only available as an option.

The bikes should arrive at dealers later this month.

The 2025 Roadmaster Elite gets the top-of-the-line treatment Indian affords all its Elite models, with premium paint, unique badging, and all the optional bells and whistles. Just 300 models will be available this year.Indian

While the new Scout Sixty models are the headline news for 2025, Indian has also rolled out a new Roadmaster Elite model, which sticks to the Elite series’ high-zoot, luxury formula, offering premium tech, plushness and exclusivity. You won’t see any mechanical upgrades this year though; the 2025 Roadmaster Elite is still powered by Indian’s air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 V-twin—with 126 lb.-ft. of torque on tap, and three ride modes to choose from.

This year’s Roadmaster Elite seeks to honor past examples of meticulous Indian craftsmanship by employing an especially complex tri-tone paint scheme accented by premium candy finishes. In this case it’s an Indian Motorcycle Springfield Blue Candy, Black Candy, and Black Candy fade over a silver base coat that’s complemented by gold-outlined headdress logos on the tank. Signature Elite graphics and hand-painted gold pinstripes backed by premium chrome-plated finishes identify this as one of Indian’s top-of-the-line bikes, and each Roadmaster Elite also gets serialized and individually numbered badging to denote its exclusivity.

All told, the Elite offers 36 gallons of remote-locking weatherproof storage between the trunk and the saddlebags; the bags also feature integrated auxiliary LED lights.Indian

Of course you get touring amenities galore on the 2025 Roadmaster Elite, which packs on almost every option from the catalog as standard equipment. The long list of tech and luxo-goodies include an electronically adjustable windshield, two-up heated and cooled touring seat, and a 7-inch touchscreen display powered by Indian’s Ride Command System where you can access 600-watt audio, live traffic and weather overlays, GPS navigation, and more. Adding thump to the proceedings is Indian’s latest PowerBand Audio with Bass Boost system which pushes sound through 12 speakers tucked into the fairing, saddlebags, and trunk (the speakers, by the way, are lit up by UnderGlow lighting, to add a cool custom look). The 2025 Roadmaster Elite adds an adaptive LED headlight to brighten up the road ahead by monitoring the bike’s lean angle to optimize illumination, while remote-locking saddlebags and tour trunk keep your cargo stowed safely.

This year’s exclusive paint job consists of Springfield Blue Candy, Black Candy, and Black Candy fade over a silver base coat. The gold headdress logos and Elite graphics are exclusive to this model as well.Indian

There will only be 300 units of the 2025 Roadmaster Elite available worldwide, and it will have a starting MSRP of $41,999 here in the US; the bike begins shipping to dealers this month. Indian says the other 2025 Roadmaster models also get upgraded to the innovative heated and cooled seat, and that the 2025 Indian Springfield, Chieftain, and Roadmaster models will have new paint color options.
