Pros and Cons in comparison

Indian FTR Sport 2023

The Indian FTR Sport attracts attention neither through its sportiness, nor through its engine, nor its flattracker look alone. Rather, it is the unique overall package that makes it stand out. A powerful, American V2 in a chic neo-retro flattrack design and naked bike ergonomics cannot be found anywhere else. So if you are a fan of this special combination, you almost have to go for the FTR and you won't regret it. Any weaknesses go hand in hand with the special features. Only a quickshifter and a little more tank capacity could have been added.

long charging time of the electronics when starting the motorbike.

Indian FTR Rally 2023

Just like the very first FTR 1200, the Indian FTR Rally is a deceptive package that you shouldn't be angry with because it reaches its limits very early on in off-road terrain despite off-road tyres. Instead, you can be pleased that this naked bike is surprisingly comfortable and convenient with good performance in terms of handling and braking. This means that the FTR Rally perfectly embodies the scrambler concept. The powerful V2 engine helps it to be labelled a power scrambler. The weaknesses in the display and the small tank volume fall into the category of acceptable shortcomings, which should not put you off buying it.
