It is an ideal choice for performance-oriented riders who want to make a statement. The bike’s design is awesome, featuring a unique Blue Candy carbon fiber tank, headlight nacelle, seat cowl, and front fender. The bright white powder-coated frame adds to its appeal, and the gloss paint finishes and red accents give it a sleek look.

The FTR x 100% R Carbon is an upgraded version of the FTR R Carbon, with additional features and upgrades that make it stand out. The tank sides, rear seat cowl, and chin fairing are adorned with Indian Motorcycle and 100% co-branding, giving it a striking appearance. The Öhlins front forks and rear shock spring, both designed for racing, are customized with a blacked-out finish for added attitude.

As it relates to its audio prowess, Indian Motorcycle has redesigned the PowerBand Audio kits for their baggers and touring models. PowerBand Audio’s 100W speakers provide a significant volume and clarity boost over the standard 50W speakers. The Bass Boost Tune offers 50% more bass than previous models. The new Dynamic EQ optimizes audio quality in real time. The speakers are water-resistant, durable, and designed to deliver an immersive listening experience. The new style features a modern look, UnderGlow soft-white LED accent rings, and a titanium-plated dome.

Indian Motorcycle’s 7 Inch Touchscreen Display, powered by RIDE COMMAND, automatically detects PowerBand Audio speakers and upgrades the bike’s Audio menu. PowerBand Audio comes with a nine-band equalizer and Power Supply Temperature Protection. It is water-resistant and designed and engineered in the U.S.A. The installation process is seamless, with no need for wire cutting, extra amps, or brackets.

Select 2024 baggers and touring models can now come equipped with the PowerBand Audio system straight from the factory. The new PowerBand Audio system is compatible with 2020-2024 models and can be installed seamlessly. With a total capacity of 800 watts, riders can enjoy a powerful audio experience with 200 watts each in the upper and lower fairings, saddlebags, and touring trunk. Local dealerships can provide riders with an upgrade to the Bass Boost Tune software for their 2020-2023 baggers and touring models. However, for all 2024 and newer motorcycles, the Bass Boost Tune will be included as a standard feature, activated automatically once the PowerBand Audio speakers are installed.

With Indian Motorcycle’s proud heritage intertwined with cutting-edge innovation, the 2024 lineup promises riders a blend of tradition and thrill that they have come to expect from the brand. To learn about the rest of the 2024 Indian Motorcycle lineup, please visit their site here.
