Its smooth powerplant is coupled to a 5-speed constant-mesh gearbox that transmits power to the rear wheel through a belt drive.

The bike will give healthy competition to the premium cruisers of Harley Davidson, DSK-Hyosung and Triumph Motorcycles.

Presently, there are large numbers of motorcycles available in the segment, we need to wait to see how Indian Motorcycles performs with Scout Sixty. The bike is expected to come with the price tag of Rs. 8.5 lac.
