[Icon]The Raiden Files - Portland to Dakar: The Best ADV Content On The Web (WATCH!)
Sick video....
Icon sends its best riders on an adventure that tests man and machine to the limit in every condition imaginable.
There's action, there's adventure, there's romance (more like a start of a bad porn scene), there's drama.
It's more than a riding video, it's a movie. Sit back and enjoy the show.
It was an ugly task that Team Icon laid at the feet of our Tiger 800s. To complete our ‘Portland to Dakar’ challenge, we asked the near impossible: miles of asphalt, vertical faces of rock, endless stretches of soft sand and deep snow, and more water landings than a Pacific campaign. The term dual-sport failed to even remotely describe our journey, which is why we chose the Tiger 800XC. The fully adjustable seat and bars, large operational range, and oversized generator for electrical auxiliaries made long miles in the saddle no problem, while serious off-road credentials such as a 21″ front wheel, muscular motor, stout suspension, and a burly frame delivered us from the aforementioned evils of our passage.
