The Motoworks ICON RAIDEN Baja Tiger 800 XCs Officially Revealed

With only two days until the kick off of the Mexican 1000, the wraps have been taken off the motorcycles that we’ve been working on all year with desert racing extraordinaire, Mark Vanscourt. We’ve teamed up with Triumph, ICON and a handful of other key sponsors to put these two motorcycles together, and the last piece of the puzzle was for ICON to put these two motorcycles into full RAIDEN livery.

What’s RAIDEN, you ask? Well RAIDEN is the name of ICON’s new line of adventure riding gear. We mentioned in our last Baja update that we’re going to be doing some gear testing for ICON in both the Mexican 1000 and the Alcan 5000. Well RAIDEN is that gear and that attitude from the folks at ICON. You can learn more about it at the ICON RAIDEN website.

The official reveal of the two Tigers in their racing colors came earlier today on custom motorcycle showcase site BikeEXIF. Click over for the run-down. With two motorcycles to show off, they each needed their own flavor. ICON came through in fine style, creating both yellow and white RAIDEN livery for the two Triumph Tigers. It’s been a massive team effort between Motoworks, Triumph, ICON and a host of others, and we just couldn’t be happier with the results. I know that Johnny in particular grins like a fool every time he sees that 312 on the side of the white Tiger.
As I type this, Johnny is in San Diego doing the final prep to start racing. He and Mark will run the white Tiger, while ICON’s own Joe Bolton and Ernie Vigil will run the yellow Tiger 1,000 miles through the deserts of Mexico. ICON will be filming the entire adventure and we’re confident the result won’t just be your run-of-the-mill GoPro footage of four guys zipping through the desert.
So how do you keep up with these racing shenanigans? Obviously we’ll have the behind-the-scenes here, and on the Motoworks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds. However, don’t just follow our perspective. Keep up with us and the boys at ICON with the hashtag #Mexican1000 for updates as they come. Check out their Facebook, and Instagram feeds for the latest from their perspective.

The Motoworks team, with Mark Vanscourt at the helm, partnered with Triumph, ICON, and other key sponsors to create a dynamic duo of Triumph Tiger 800 XC motorcycles. The Triumph Tigers are customized and prepared to conquer the Mexican 1000 desert race—both bikes are equipped with their distinctive RAIDEN livery. The RAIDEN gear, designed by ICON, is a special line of adventure riding gear put to the test throughout the Mexican 1000 and the Alcan 5000. With full RAIDEN livery, the two motorcycles, one in yellow and the other in white, showcase their racing colors. This project is the result of a massive team effort, and the Motoworks family is proud of the accomplishments so far. As the race commences, you can stay updated on their journey through the Mexican 1000 via their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. Be sure to check out ICON's perspective as well by following their social media feeds.
