Inspired by the sport’s preeminent flat track race machine, the
FTR750, the FTR Championship Edition touts an authentic race paint
scheme and a commemorative Indian Motorcycle Racing bezel with each
championship season on display. But more than a show piece, the
limited-edition FTR features premium components, including a
titanium Akrapovič Exhaust and fully adjustable front forks and
piggyback shock. Carbon fiber parts, including a seat cowl, front
fender, airbox covers and headlight nacelle, complete the bike’s
premium design.
“Since the FTR’s debut in 2019, riders around the world have
expressed their passion and enthusiasm for the FTR’s flat
track-inspired design,” said Aaron Jax, Indian Motorcycle Vice
President. “While the 2022 FTR lineup optimizes the FTR’s on-road
performance, the FTR Championship Edition reignites our flat track
racing legacy and celebrates the Wrecking Crew’s historic success.
Although this limited-edition bike is a commemorative show piece,
it’s also an on-road ripper that performs in the twisties as well
as turns heads on city streets.”
Adding to its flat track-inspired design are a host of premium
features and ride-enhancing technologies, including three ride
modes, wheelie control with rear lift mitigation, stability
control, traction control and cornering ABS. The FTR Championship
Edition also touts a 4.3-inch digital touchscreen display and a
1203cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that produces 120 horsepower and
87 ft-lbs of torque. The limited-edition FTR is equipped with a
race-inspired wheel combination of a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear
wheel – wrapped in Dunlop® street tires with flat track-inspired
tread. Radially mounted dual front disc Brembo brakes offer
exceptional control and stopping power, while ProTaper® flat
tracker aluminum handlebars complete the race bike look.
Indian Motorcycle Racing, the winner of the last five
Manufacturer’s Championships, returned to professional flat track
racing in 2017. Since the debut of the FTR750, an Indian Motorcycle
Racing factory rider has won the championship every year in the
sport’s premiere class. The 2022 Indian Wrecking Crew, consisting
of 2021 SuperTwins Champion Jared Mees, two-time champion Briar
Bauman and the team’s newest member, the winningest rider in
American Flat Track Singles history, Shayna Texter-Bauman, will
look to defend its title at the season opener on March 10 at the
Volusia Half-Mile.
Pricing for the FTR Championship Edition starts at $16,499 and
will begin shipping to Indian Motorcycle dealers around the world
in April 2022. Riders can learn more at their local Indian
Motorcycle dealership, by visiting IndianMotorcycle.com, or by
