In February 2023, Indian Motorcycle announced its newest giveaway for riders living in Europe, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. The prize is one of two FTRs designed by custom shop Tank Machine and nine-time World Rally Championship champion Sébastien Loeb, with the matching bike remaining in Loeb’s possession. (In other words, if you’re a massive WRC fan and he’s one of your favorite drivers, you could theoretically be moto-twinsies. Think of it like the moto version of a friendship necklace.)
At the time that it announced the giveaway, only renders were available to view. It’s not clear whether the bikes were already built at that point, or if they hadn’t yet been finished—but in any case, laying eyes on them just wasn’t possible. However, as of April 27, 2023, Indian Motorcycle has now released official photos of the completed FTR Loeb design.
