American manufacturer Indian Motorcycle has shared a video on its social media platform revealing the FTR 1200 Carbon. As you’d expect, the bike features a truck-load of carbon fibre components. This includes the front fender, headlight cowl, pillion cowl, tank, and airbox covers. It also gets an FTR Carbon branded tank-mounted centre console and an Akrapovic low-mount dual titanium exhausts finished in matte black. The price? £14,699 (around Rs 13.93 lakh), which is about Rs 2.65 lakh more than the base variant.

The lightweight components aren’t the end of it though. Even though the FTR Carbon Edition uses the same 1,203cc V-twin engine that’s seen on the standard and S variant, it produces more power than before -- 126PS as opposed to 121.7PS on the other variants. Torque though remains unchanged at 120Nm, which is produced 100 revs earlier compared to the standard and S trim. The bump in its performance could be attributed to the Akrapovic exhaust system and an ECU remap.

There’s no major change in hardware, except for the use of a smaller 260mm rear disc (5mm smaller than before). It retains its 320mm dual disc brakes up front. Apart from this, the Indian FTR 1200 Carbon uses the same fully adjustable USD fork and a gas-charged monoshock with preload, compression and rebound adjustment.
