Indian is expanding the Scout lineup for 2022 by swapping some parts and adding a little "club-style" look with the new Rogue and Rogue Sixty.
Underneath the looks, this is pretty much the same Scout you already know. One significant difference is the 19-inch front wheel, which makes the Rogues unique in the Scout lineup, which otherwise uses 16-inch wheels front and rear. The Rogues add Indian's mini-ape handlebar, a small fairing, bar-end mirrors, a solo seat and blacked-out engine and exhaust parts to create a new look.
Like other Scout models, you have a choice between the Rogue and the Rogue Sixty. The latter, named for its 60-cubic-inch displacement, produces 78 horsepower instead of the Rogue's 100 and saves you $1,500. I'll get into the details of pricing below, but there's a certain symmetry that $9,999 gets you 999 cc, and $11,499 gets you 1,133 cc.
Underneath, you get the same Scout package of a multi-valve, liquid-cooled V-twin, a five-speed gearbox with belt drive, single disc brakes at both ends and — a feature somewhat infamous among Common Tread testers — a minimalistic two inches of rear suspension travel. That brings the expected pros and cons, from the ultra-low seat height some riders want to a rough ride and limited cornering clearance other riders don't want.
The adjustable piggyback rear shocks that Indian already offers for the Scout will fit the Rogues, as well. They increase travel to 3.0 inches and add rebound and compression damping adjustability for $799.99, but they're currently shown as out of stock on the Indian web site.
Riders who plan to push the Scout Rogue's portfolio beyond local cruising might want to consider some of Indian's other accessories, such as the rider comfort seat, a two-up seat, saddlebags and the Pathfinder adaptive LED headlight, which activates additional beams to adjust for cornering. Then again, if you're planning long-haul rides, you might also want to revisit Jen's recent review of the Scout Bobber ("I can’t say it’s a top choice for the next long-distance bender") and consider that Indian offers some other models better suited to the mission.
Indian recommends 91-octane fuel for the Scout and the 3.3-gallon gas tank is another reminder of Scout's intended mission.
Colors and pricing
Since the Rogue versions differ from the regular Scout mostly in appearance, it's not surprising that the prices depend mostly on your choice of paint, plus ABS. When I was much younger, I remember my father wanted to paint the old garage one year and he chose a battleship gray color because that was the cheapest paint at the hardware store. Well, times have definitely changed, Bucky, because this is the second time in a week that a U.S. motorcycle manufacturer has issued a new motorcycle and informed us that we'll have to pay more to get it in gray. Surely this is a sign that the trend toward 50 shades of gray has finally reached its peak in the motorcycle industry.
The prices break down like this. If you want the base model Scout Rogue without ABS, your only color choice is Black Metallic and the price is $11,499. With ABS and Black Metallic, the Rogue costs $900 more at $12,399. In Black Smoke, Sagebrush Smoke or Storm Blue, all of which come with ABS, MSRP is $12,899. If you want Stealth Gray, pay $13,399. Prices in Canada are all $3,100 higher in Canadian dollars.
The Scout Rogue Sixty in Black Metallic and without ABS barely squeaks under the five-figure mark (before fees and taxes, naturally) at $9,999. The Sixty in Black Metallic with ABS is $10,899 and the Bronze Smoke and Titanium Smoke colors are $11,399. Prices in Canada are all $2,300 higher in Canadian dollars.
The new Rogues don't break much new ground, but they do offer a look that many riders were creating themselves with accessories, and now you can get it straight from the factory. Is it your style?
