From the Track to the Street, New FTR x
RSD Super Hooligan® Inspires Riders to Unleash their
Inner Hooligan – Expertly Designed with Race Graphics and Premium
Performance Componentry
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Indian Motorcycle, America's
First Motorcycle Company, today announced a collaboration with
Roland Sands Design (RSD) ® on a limited-edition FTR. Expertly
designed by Indian Motorcycle and Roland Sands®, the all-new FTR
celebrates the RSD® hooligan lifestyle – a "run-what-ya-brung,"
bar-banging spirit of unbridled, fearless freedom found in this
style of motorcycle racing.
From the track to the street, the FTR x RSD Super Hooligan®
inspires riders to unleash their inner hooligan. The new
limited-edition FTR features Black Metallic bodywork with authentic
Super Hooligan® race graphics, a classic Indian Motorcycle Red
frame with matching wheels featuring gold accent, and Indian
Motorcycle Racing's No. 1 championship logo on the front and side
number plates. For an extra layer of authenticity, the FTR x RSD
Super Hooligan® features race team sponsors' logos on its rear seat
cowl. Additional graphics for the radiator shroud, front fender,
and front forks will be supplied to owners for optional
application. These premium components were thoughtfully curated to
deliver an authentic, race-like experience to the rider.
"The term 'hooligan' has taken on an entirely new meaning in the
world of motorcycles, characterized by a rebellious, fearless
attitude that places having fun on a motorcycle above all else, and
that's what this new FTR is all about," said Aaron Jax, vice president, Indian Motorcycle.
"Roland Sands has blazed this trail
and built the RSD brand around the hooligan lifestyle. From
spinning laps on dirt ovals on mid-size cruisers, to today's
competitive racing within the MotoAmerica series, the ethos of
hooligan riding has not changed."
"Super Hooligan has always been about more than just racing.
It's about pushing boundaries and having a blast riding motorcycles
with your friends," said Roland
Sands, Founder of RSD®. "Far from the full fairing machines
you normally see on the racetrack, a Super Hooligan bike has
effortless attitude and a custom aesthetic with an exposed
powertrain. When Indian Motorcycle approached us to codesign an
Indian FTR for consumers, it was a natural fit, and something we
were very excited to be a part of."
Built upon the FTR R Carbon model, the FTR x RSD Super Hooligan®
offers performance branded parts and premium ride-enhancing
technology. Fully adjustable Öhlins® inverted front forks and rear
piggyback shock delivers exceptional ride and handling, while
dual-disc Brembo® brakes provide ultimate stopping power. The
bike's four-inch round touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND
offers vital bike and ride information, selectable ride modes for a
customizable ride experience, along with Bluetooth and USB
connectivity. The capabilities of RIDE COMMAND allow riders to take
control like never before by enjoying seamless integration with
their smartphones, tracking ride routes, keeping up to date with
automated alerts of the motorcycle's maintenance and health. In
addition, an Akrapovič muffler and heat shield add style and
improve sound, while Gilles Tooling parts, including adjustable
rear-sets, oil cap, radiator cap, and bar-end weights, add to the
bike's premium finish – delivering authentic RSD® Hooligan race
style for the rider.
With only 300 available globally, each FTR x RSD® Super
Hooligan bike is individually numbered with a commemorative tank
console. The 2024 FTR x RSD® Super Hooligan starts at $18,499 and is now shipping to Indian Motorcycle
dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada. Riders can learn more at their local
Indian Motorcycle dealership, by visiting IndianMotorcycle.com, or
