The Indian Scout Bobber has been spied in the country, ahead of its official launch on November 24 at the 2017 India Bike Week.

As per Express Drives’ source, the motorcycle bears a price tag of INR 13.95 lakhs, ex-showroom Ahmedabad. The Indian Scout Bobber is essentially a stripped-down, blacked-out version of the Scout. In the Bobber, the company has lowered the rear springs by an inch; added street tracker handlebars and moved the rider footpegs 1.5 inch closer to the rider for a more aggressive riding position. The front and rear fenders are also chopped, and the cast aluminium wheels are shod with knobby tyres for a rugged look. The motorcycle also features bar-end mirrors to complete the Bobber look.
