Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber

The Scout Bobber comes in a single variant at ₹14,95,115 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every Scout Bobber leaves the showroom with the same equipment.

That makes it priced 37th lowest among the 53 cruisers we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Scout Classic (₹3,206 more) and the Sport Scout (₹10,687 more).

On the road in Delhi the base Scout Bobber comes to ₹16.85 Lakh: ₹14,95,115 ex-showroom, ₹1,27,609 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.5%), ₹47,359 for first-year insurance and ₹14,951 in tcs 1%. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Scout Bobber's claimed mileage is 21 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 20–22 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.

Among the 40 cruisers we have reviewed it ranks 26th for mileage, 4 kmpl below the group average of 25 kmpl.

The 1250cc liquid-cooled engine makes 106.46 bhp and 108 Nm through a Manual. With a kerb weight of 246 kg that is 433 bhp per tonne, 4th best power-to-weight of the 51 bikes in this class we have reviewed.

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Chassis hardware includes dual-channel ABS and traction control, with a disc, 298 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 298 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.

Seat height is a low 665 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.

On safety kit the Scout Bobber has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

Against Scout Classic, Sport Scout or Street Bob, it gets alloy wheels, hazard lamps and led daytime running lamp that most rivals skip.

It is offered in 1 colours: Black Metallic. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.

Indian Motorcycle runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 8 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.

The Scout Bobber launched in 2025, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
