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.
