RIDE REVIEW I 2021 INDIAN FTR
P98
The FTR loves these sorts of roads,
but the Ohlins gives it much better
in-town performance to boot.
mode. That's more than enough
power for most riders and puts the
FTR into line with bikes like the Ducati
Monster or Kawasaki Z900 (albeit at a
much higher price). The performance
is pretty rowdy, and given the FTR's
penchant for new sporty rubber, it can
now hang with some pretty serious
company on the street.
The new 43mm Ohlins fork makes
the ride plenty smooth enough and
is a solid improvement in ride quality
over the original FTR1200. These new
suspenders are matched by a revised
ride position with a 1.4-inch lower
seat height and the handlebar width
reduced by 1.5-inches, allowing you
to tuck in tighter and really get after
it compared to the more dirt bike-ish
measurements of the old model.
