Icon 1000’s Triumph Tiger 800 XC “Dromedarii” Is Ready to Tackle the Wasteland

Icon 1000 doesn’t exactly need any introduction. Besides retailing an extensive selection of casual apparel goodies that look rad, these ambitious craftsmen also specialize in creating some of the grooviest custom rides you’ll ever come across. Take, for instance, their rugged Ducati 900SS-based titan or “Major Tom,” a classic Gixxer subjected to a ravishing makeover.

Each and every one of Icon’s two-wheeled behemoths has a distinct personality of its own, so we never seem to get tired of admiring their portfolio. As such, let’s treat ourselves to the sight of yet another astounding feat achieved on this company’s premises. This brutal warrior goes by the name of “Dromedarii,” and it’s the mechanical spartan of your craziest dreams!

The bike you see here was once an ordinary 2011 model from Triumph’s Tiger 800 XC range. Its 799cc liquid-cooled inline-three powerplant is good for up to 94 horses at 9,300 rpm and 58 pound-feet (79 Nm) of twist at around 7,850 revs. This remarkable force is handed over to a chain final drive via a six-speed gearbox, enabling the Tiger to accomplish a respectable top speed of 130 mph (209 kph).

As for Icon 1000’s bespoke machine, the crew began by honoring the front and rear suspension setups with an assortment of premium Ohlins components. After tweaking the Tiger’s subframe, they proceeded to manufacture a sinister custom outfit, which consists of a humungous fuel tank and several crash bars, as well as a downright menacing tail section that appears to have come straight out of the Fallout franchise.

Oh, and don’t you even get me started on those jerry cans doubling up as side panels, okay? One can easily picture riding this thing away from hordes of feral zombies in a post-apocalyptic setting. To enlighten your ride, a lithium-ion battery from Ballistic Performance powers a pair of aftermarket PIAA headlights. Lastly, the finishing touch comes as a reworked exhaust system that makes Dromedarii sound as menacing as it looks.
