After bringing in the 2014 Indian Chief range, Polaris
India Pvt. Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Polaris Industries Inc., has
launched the new Indian Scout through bookings with effect from September 27,
2014. The price of the Indian Scout starts from Rs. 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom
Delhi)
When the Indian Scout was launched in the US, it proved
itself to be a popular motorcycle. Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director, Polaris
India Pvt. Ltd noted that the Indian Scout is designed to possess the heritage
of the past, blended with modern technology.
This American cruiser comes with the first-ever
liquid-cooled Indian Motorcycle engine – a 69 cubic inch V-twin engine offering
100 HP of power. It features a liquid-cooled,
1131 cc V-twin engine, a classic rigid triangle design coupled with premium
monotube rear shocks, among others. The bike has a 244 kg/253 kg dry
weight, 1562 mm wheelbase, 135 mm ground
clearance and 31 degrees of lean for precise high and low speed maneuverability
Polaris India introduced the Indian Motorcycle in India
early this year. Globally in April 2011, Polaris Industries acquired Indian
Motorcycle and in July 2013, it unveiled the all-new range of Indian
motorcycles. Indian Motorcycle is now a wholly-owned division of Polaris
Industries Inc and is America’s first motorcycle company founded in 1901.
The parent company Polaris is a leader in the power
sports industry with annual 2013 sales of $3.8 billion. The company manufactures off-road vehicles,
including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and the Polaris Ranger and RZR side-by-side
vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles and on-road electric/hybrid powered
