Two bikes prepped for the upcoming Baja 1000. They're big rally bikes, maybe too big, I don't care, I love them :drif: :drif: :drif: :drif:

Triumph Tiger 800 XC Mexican 1000 bike
Why the venture into rallying? After all, Icon is known for its sportbike gear and, via the Icon 1000 brand, its retro/custom-tinged apparel. But next year, the Portland-based company will launch a range of heavy-duty ADV gear called Raiden. We’re told it’ll combine rugged, expedition-level design with that signature Icon edginess—and the Mexican 1000 race is part of the testing program.
Icon is taking this extremely seriously, and the Tigers have been prepped to within an inch of their lives. It’s going to be an extreme (and rare) endurance test for what are essentially ADV bikes.
Each bike has been modified with Öhlins suspension, an enduro-capacity tank from Safari Tank Australia, extra armor and rear fuel tanks from Rally Raid, a rally navigation panel, PIAA lighting, and Woody’s superlaced tubeless wheels.
