\"\"<\/a>Since the FTR’s launch, the FTR1200S with its limited edition race replica paint has been the flagship model, but as of the 1st May 2020 that changed.<\/p>\n

And not only because Indian is running out of the limited edition models.<\/p>\n

Following-on from their successful bid to make the basic FTR1200 more attractive by fitting most of the ‘Rally’ parts collection to it to make the FTR1200 Rally, they’ve raided the ‘Sport’ collection to make the only model that could out-spec the race-rep 1200S.<\/p>\n

Called the Carbon, it will come as no surprise to learn that the Sport collection heavily relies on carbon fibre parts. And we are talking about proper carbon fibre here: this isn’t a dipped version of the base body work. Moreover, while the Sport’s bodywork was purely carbon, the FTR1200 Carbon only shows its lightweight material through a race replica paint scheme in those areas that were previously painted black. The best of both worlds and a genuine improvement over the previous top model, and for just \u00a3600 more than the old race-rep FTR1200S.<\/p>\n
