Aesthetic accessories such as mirrors and custom seats will also be available. Indian has not announced a specific launch timeline, but expectations point to the first products arriving during 2025.
How will ARO impact the Gulf motorcycle market?

ARO products may attract riders looking for original parts that guarantee performance and reliability, especially under hot climatic conditions. Parts are expected to reach local dealers within months of the global launch.
How much will ARO products cost?
Indian has not revealed pricing yet, but it is expected to be higher than traditional parts due to being original and in-house developed.
