motorcycles for long journeys need to become shaped with un-compromised functionality. the ‘dromedarii’ from icon 1000 is based on the bones of a triumph ‘tiger 800XC’ modified for the apocalyptic conditions.

the icon 1000 ‘dromedarii’

the ‘dromedarii’ (the name comes from the late roman empire’s camel-mounted cavalry division) features a stiffened ohlins suspension kit, off-road conti rubber tires and raised subframe increased for tough conditions. all of the original triumph’s plastic panels had been removed and replaced with steel cages and plates to protect vulnerable engine components. a custom oversized fuel tank, along with auxiliary fuel cells provide increased range. the huge headlights are combined with lithium batteries for increased overall lowlight visibility while still reducing the weight. finally, front and rear load-bearing racks where added for carrying requisite supplies and baggage.
