Mike Dougherty, President of Indian Motorcycle, is quoted as stating that "it's amazing to think how far we've come in developing and expanding our lineup of motorcycles, delivering a wide range of new models and trim offerings in a variety of styles to meet the diverse tastes and needs of our global riding community.
"Riders are choosing Indian Motorcycle. We're growing share and growing retail volume all over the world. We've received incredible rider feedback and continue to refine, enhance and fine-tune our lineup and accessories based on this feedback."
Pulling styling cues from 100%'s roots in action sports, the FTR x 100% R Carbon "has been beautifully designed for the performance-minded rider who wants to stand out from the crowd. The bike features a one-of-a-kind Blue Candy carbon fiber tank, headlight nacelle, seat cowl and front fender. Its bright white powder-coated frame pops, while gloss paint finishes and red accents throughout deliver a high-quality fit and finish."
Collectively, the FTR x 100% R Carbon is "a raw slice of Americana. Built on the top-of-the-line FTR R Carbon, the FTR x 100% R Carbon features even more upgrades and details that set it apart. Striking Indian Motorcycle and 100% co-branding highlight each tank side, its rear seat cowl and the chin fairing. Race-ready Öhlins front forks and rear shock spring get custom blacked out treatment for 100% more attitude.

Redesigned for Indian Motorcycle baggers and touring models, upgraded PowerBand Audio kits feature 100 watt speakers that produce "higher volume, increased clarity and more bass. Answering the call from riders, each speaker touts UnderGlow LED accent lighting, which delivers a custom-inspired look that stands out compared to standard audio systems."
PowerBand Audio's new Bass Boost Tune "makes the music come alive with deeper bass lines, which result in 50% more bass when compared to previous PowerBand Audio offerings. New Dynamic EQ auto-optimizes in real-time for the highest quality audio as speed and conditions change. Speakers are durable, water-resistant and deliver an immersive listening experience - expertly designed to cut through road, wind and throttle noise."
Featuring updated, custom-inspired style, "PowerBand Audio speakers sport a chiseled, modern look and UnderGlow, soft-white LED accent rings. The titanium-plated dome stands out from the crowd and ensures the speakers look as good as they sound.
"Once installed, Indian Motorcycle's industry-leading, seven-inch touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND automatically recognizes PowerBand Audio speakers and immediately upgrades the bike's audio menu. With PowerBand Audio, riders receive a nine-band equalizer to fully customize settings and dial-in levels for any music genre.
"Select Indian Motorcycle baggers and touring models will be available straight off the dealership floor with PowerBand Audio pre-installed at the factory. The new PowerBand Audio system is compatible with 2020-2024 models with seamless installation.
"Riders can take their audio system up to 800 watt, including 200 watt in the upper fairing, 200 watt in the lower fairing, 200 watt in the saddlebags, and 200 watt in the touring trunk. Riders can also update their PowerBand Audio system in their 2020-2023 baggers and touring models with the Bass Boost Tune software upgrade at their local dealership. All 2024 and newer motorcycles will come standard with the Bass Boost Tune, which will automatically come alive once PowerBand Audio speakers are installed.
"In addition to exciting new paint colors, Indian Motorcycle has improved fit and finish on baggers and touring models, as models receive a gloss paint finish across the dash visor, storage door, dash trim and gauge bezel."
