Indian Motorcycle’s lineup of 2023 models have updates to the touchscreen displays, mufflers and braking systems on select models, while others get slipper clutches and new trims. Two highlights for the 2023 line are the new mid-range-trim FTR Sport (pictured below) and a limited-edition Indian Challenger Elite.
Replacing FTR S, the mid-range-trim FTR Sport sits just below the premium FTR R Carbon, but above the FTR and FTR Rally. The FTR Sport comes with a number plate, chin fairing and a seat cowl.

The FTR Sport and FTR R Carbon are upgraded with a four-inch round touchscreen display powered by Ride Command navigation system. The FTR R Carbon is decked out with carbon fiber-components, a premium seat, fully adjustable Öhlins gold front forks and a gold piggyback shock.
All four of the 2023 FTR models get a new sport exhaust muffler and an updated front-brake system. Indian Motorcycle also moved the speedometer up for easier viewing and added a new clutch for improved feel and performance. The FTRs have three ride modes (Sport, Standard, Rain), Lean Angle Sensitive Stability Control and ABS.
Indian Motorcycle formed a partnership with Gilles Tooling to launch co-branded accessories for the FTR models, which include adjustable rearsets, bar-end weights, oil caps and radiator caps. Adjustable levers are expected next year. Pricing for the FTR lineup start at $13,499.
