Recipe Scrambler
The BMW Concept Path 22 is an excuse to anticipate what will be the BMW Scrambler. It will equip the same air-cooled boxer engine air retro, shaft drive and a more minimalist. Öhlins front fork has less travel, tires are mixed, the front wheel is larger, the simple tilting thrown into the opposite side of the escape and said Akrapovic dual exhaust rises from the ground to make it more capable on gravel.
As good prototype there is also attention to detail, as instrumentation and intermittent motogadget cuffs, the parties created by Roland Sands Design or Gilles Tooling.
