The FTR 1200 has been luring a new set of buyers for Indian Motorcycles owing to its neo-retro elements combined with a powerful motor. And to bring in more numbers, Indian has given it a set of carbonfibre updates calling it the FTR 1200 Carbon, for obvious reasons. The headlight nacelle, airbox cover, fuel tank, front fender and rear seat cowl are all made of carbonfibre. There’s also a new FTR Carbon logo plate for those who still don’t get it. Interestingly, the bike has put on 3kg thanks to a new full-exhaust system sourced from Akrapovic. The exhaust lends it three extra horses while the torque remains the same. There are no other mechanical changes to the FTR 1200 though. We believe the Carbon variant along with Rally will be introduced in India later this year.
