The Scout Bobber is a stripped and darker version of the Scout with the bike's frame, cooling system, exhaust, primary and clutch covers, handlebars, headlight nacelle, mirrors, and even the gauge face are blacked out.

Other features that set it apart from the Scout are the new black headlamp nacelle, vented exhaust shields, black speedometer and a single leather seat that complements the Bobber look while the fuel tank wears a new badge.

Power to the Indian Scout Bobber comes from a 1131cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 99bhp and 97.7Nm of torque. The unit comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Bookings for the Indian Scout Bobber has begun for an amount of Rs 50,000, while delivery will begin post-launch.
