Indian adds Akrapovic to FTR Race Replica
The low-mount accessory exhaust will now come standard on the higher-spec version of the new flat track-inspired familyIndian Motorcycle Australia has announced that its new FTR1200 S production bike in ‘Race Replica’ mode will be sold as standard with an Akrapovic low-mount exhaust – which was previously marketed as an accessory item.
The decision, based on “overwhelmingly positive feedback” for the exhaust as an accessory item, has now added $1000 to the rideaway price of the FTR120 S Race Replica – up from $23,995 to $24,995.
The Race Replica has a special paint scheme to match the FTR750 flat track race bike which Indian campaigns in the American grand national series.
Meanwhile, the FTR 1200 S in Indian Motorcycle Red/Steel Gray or Titanium Metallic/Thunder Black liveries will remain priced from $22,995 rideaway, and the standard FTR1200 will be available in Thunder Black from $19,995 rideaway.
Australian availability for the FTR1200 range is in the second quarter of 2019.
The bikes are powered by an all-new 1203cc V-twin engine, with the liquid-cooled unit good for a claimed 120hp and 115Nm.
All models come with full LED lighting, cruise control, antilock brakes and a fast-charge USB port, while the FTR 1200 S adds fully adjustable suspension front and rear, a 4.3-inch LCD colour touchscreen, traction control, cornering stability control, wheelie control and a choice of three ride modes: Standard, Sport, and Rain.
The 60-degree V-twin is housed in a tubular-steel trellis frame with aluminium subframe, while the pair ride on an inverted 43mm fork and rear monoshock. Claimed dry weight is 221kg for the FTR 1200 and 222kg for the FTR1200 S, while both sport a 13-litre tank.
Stability should be a strong point for the pair, which boast a 26.3-degree rake and a rangy 1524mm wheelbase, while the seat height will prove accessible at 805mm.
