Every year, EICMA is an occasion where motorcycle manufacturers gather together to show off their coolest new machines, and it’s also where those same OEMs opt to unveil something extra-special.

The limited edition 2024 Indian FTR x 100% R Carbon is clearly one of them.

Engine 

As ever, it’s powered by Indian’s liquid-cooled, dual overhead cam, 1,203cc 90-degree V-twin engine. It makes a claimed 123 horsepower, alongside 118 newton-meters (87 pound-feet) of torque at 6,000 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch.

Chassis

The suspension consists of a fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins inverted telescopic cartridge fork up front, along with an Öhlins fully adjustable piggyback setup in the rear. The braking duties are performed by Brembo calipers and the wheels are a pair of 17-inch cast aluminum alloy units wrapped in Metzeler Sportec rubber.

Electronics

The first thing you notice on the 2024 Indian FTR x 100% R Carbon is the bold blue carbon fiber, found on the tank, the headlight nacelle, the seat cowl, and the front fender. The bike also gets a black titanium Akrapovič exhaust and non-blue carbon fiber elements throughout.

Dimensions 

Wheelbase is 1,524mm (about 60 inches) and the length is 2,223mm (about 87.5 inches). Seat height is 817mm (32.1 inches). Indian lists the dry weight of the 2024 FTR x 100% R Carbon at 221 kilograms, or about 487 pounds.

Since fuel capacity is given as 13 liters, the bike should weigh approximately 509.5 pounds with a full tank.
