Overview

Introducing the 2021 Indian FTR 1200 S, a striking custom-cruiser that effortlessly marries classic American heritage with modern performance. Positioned as a sport-oriented bike within the cruiser category, the FTR 1200 S stands out for those who crave a combination of style, agility, and power. With a base price of $13,999, this motorcycle appeals to enthusiasts seeking a unique ride that commands attention both on the road and at bike meets. Its bold design and technical prowess make it a formidable player in a competitive market, tailored for riders who appreciate both form and function. At the heart of the FTR 1200 S lies a potent 1203cc V-twin engine that churns out an exhilarating 123 horsepower and 117.9 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM. This liquid-cooled powerhouse delivers a responsive throttle that propels the bike with authority, making it ideal for spirited rides through twisty roads or urban settings. The 6-speed transmission, paired with an assist and slip clutch, ensures smooth gear transitions while allowing for confident downshifting. The motorcycle's lightweight chassis, weighing in at just 225.4 kg (497 pounds), complements its impressive power, resulting in a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 0.5456 HP/kg that translates to thrilling acceleration and agile handling. Equipped with an array of advanced features, the FTR 1200 S emphasizes rider comfort and control. The fully adjustable suspension—comprising an inverted telescopic fork in the front and a piggyback IFP unit at the rear—provides 150 mm of travel, ensuring a plush ride over various terrains. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring double discs with 4-piston calipers upfront and a single disc with 2-piston calipers at the rear, delivering strong stopping power with excellent feedback. Additional modern touches include a suite of rider aids and a customizable digital display, allowing riders to personalize their experience. With color options like Red/Steel Gray and Titanium Metallic/Thunder Black Pearl, the FTR 1200 S is as much a statement of style as it is a performance machine. **
