The Damon Hypersport features high-end components, including Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes. Power is derived from a 20 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack, and the Hypersport also has claimed acceleration figures of 0 to 100 kmph in under three seconds. The CoPilot system, which is essentially the advanced rider warning system, uses a platform created by telecom giant BlackBerry, combined with cameras and non-visual sensors to track the speed, direction and velocity of many objects at a time around the motorcycle. The signals sent by the sensors are then processed by onboard computers to anticipate threats of a collision or accident and warn the rider through LED warning lights, haptic alerts, or visually on a rear view mirror.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look.
