2019 Indian FTR 1200 S | First Look Review



Powered by a 120-horsepower V-twin and weighing less than 500 pounds, the all-new 2019 Indian FTR 1200 S is equipped with high-performance components and a full suite of electronics.
Inspired by the FTR750, its American Flat Track championship-winning race bike, and the FTR1200 Custom shown at EICMA last year, Indian Motorcycle has unveiled two new production models, the FTR 1200 and FTR 1200 S.
After sweeping the AFT Twins championship podium in 2017, FTR750 riders now occupy the top 10 positions near the end of the 2018 season, and Jared Mees will soon lock up his second consecutive AFT Twins title. With a long history in racing and its recent success in flat track, Indian is bringing race-inspired design and performance to the street.

“Our vision from the beginning was to be more than a traditional American V-twin brand. We continually seek to broaden Indian Motorcycle?s reach to a wider range of riders, and FTR 1200 represents a significant step forward in that strategy,” said Steve Menneto, President, Indian Motorcycle. “Indian Motorcycle was founded on performance and innovation, and we remain grounded by our founder?s mindset of constantly pushing forward. In light of that history, the FTR 1200 is a natural extension for the brand that we couldn?t be more excited about.”
