1997 Cagiva Grand Canyon 900 I.E. Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Cagiva for the allround motorcycle segment, the 1997 Cagiva Grand Canyon 900 I.E. utilizes a 904 cc (55.2 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout.

With a specific output of 80.8 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams.
