The Cagiva 900 Elefant is a behemoth of a motorcycle, born from the grueling demands of the Paris-Dakar Rally. This off-road superbike boasts an impressive array of features, including a potent 900cc air and oil-cooled overhead cam V-twin engine with desmodromic valve gear.
The 90-degree V-twin motor produces a healthy 70bhp at 8500rpm, thanks to electronic fuel-injection. However, it’s not just raw power that sets the Elefant apart – its usable spread of torque makes it perfect for navigating treacherous off-road terrain.
A high level of suspension equipment is standard on this desert-racer, with Marzocchi forks and a fully-adjustable Hlins monoshock providing exceptional damping capabilities. Hefty twin front disc brakes and twin-pot Nissin calipers offer plenty of stopping power when needed.
The result is an unstoppable machine that combines brute strength with agility and finesse – the Cagiva 900 Elefant is the ultimate off-road experience.
