Italeri 4643 Cagiva Elephant 850 Winner 1987 Motorcycle assembly kit 1:9
The Cagiva elephant was born in the early 1980er as an Enduro with small to medium displacement motors. Gradually, after the takeover of Ducati by Cagiva, the commercial line continued to develop, the motorcycle was redesigned and, from 1985, more powerful and more powerful two-cylinder engines were used, participating in international sports competitions. The Cagiva elephant, which competed directly with German and Japanese motorcycles at the prestigious off-road competition Paris-Dakar in 1987, was distinguished by the large cladding covering the lattice frame of steel pipes and light metal. The air-cooled two-cylinder engine guaranteed 80 hp at 8500 rpm and allowed the Italian motorcycle a maximum speed of 185 km/h on unpaved roads. All details such as the protective cover, the Ohlins off-road shock absorbers and the low front wing correspond to a typical Sahara configuration that characterizes the design.This text is machine translated.
