The Lynx 150 ATV is the brainchild of the domestic brand “Russian Mechanics”, introduced back in 2014. Essentially, this is a mixture of a utilitarian and a sports ATV, characterized by good cross-country ability and power.
In total, the series included six devices:
- Lynx 50. This is a children's quad designed for a rider weighing up to 45 kg. The miniature device will help your child understand driving and ensure a fun time.
- Lynx 110. The tourist all-terrain vehicle of the RM company will be the ideal choice for a teenager. The compact machine, with a load capacity of 60 kg, can accelerate to 65 km/h. But despite the efforts of the manufacturer, using the Lynx 110 as a tourist is not the best idea. The device is equipped with a 2.5 liter gas tank, which is enough for only 90-100 km.
- Lynx 125 Sport. This is a sports variation of the tourist, showing good results on special tracks. However, the device is also suitable for off-road driving, mud, and sand.
- Lynx 150. Sports-utilitarian all-terrain vehicle, with a 150 cc engine. cm, is in particular demand. Unlike its predecessor, the car is more versatile and suitable for both teenagers and adults. The ATV is equipped with a 4.5 liter gas tank, which is enough for 100-115 km of travel.
- Lynx 110U. This is a utilitarian vehicle, characterized by a reinforced frame, expanded equipment and high cross-country ability. The device is equipped with LED lighting, two luggage racks, a durable bump stop and universal wheels that improve traction.
The series is completed by the massive Lynx 500 utility vehicle, under the hood of which hides as much as 32 hp. The functional ATV, released in 2015, is suitable for fishing, hunting, transporting heavy loads and agricultural work.

“The passions raging in the market for utilitarian ATVs in Russia will give a hundred points ahead to any cocaine wars in South America or the arms trade in the East African republics! It’s no joke, we are talking about tens of millions of dollars in profit and a Russian trade space that is very far from being saturated... So there is a serious struggle for the wallets of domestic buyers between the most serious domestic players.
Today, throughout the vast territory of our country “from the taiga to the British seas,” there are only four large companies that sell, produce or assemble utilitarian all-wheel drive ATVs. They can be divided into three conditional groups: “assemblers”, “sellers” and “factory workers”. The first category, which deals with unit, “screwdriver” assembly, includes equipment assembled from components of the Taiwanese company Standard Motor Corporation. This same group includes several small companies that assemble Chinese ATVs in very modest volumes. The second caste includes those engaged in the sale of Chinese equipment in Russia under the CF Moto brand. And several sellers modestly selling a few equipment from Taiwan and China. By the way, despite its exclusively trade specialization, it was AVM-Trade that last year seriously spoiled the nerves of competitors with the level of its sales! The third group includes companies that are trying to establish full-cycle production at their facilities and, distancing themselves from Asian suppliers, produce equipment that is localized as much as possible in Russia. Unfortunately, there are only two active participants in this category. The first is a technically well-equipped one in the city of Zhukovka, Bryansk region, and its quad equipment, produced under the Stels brand. The second one is, of course, the legendary one.
Until recently, the interests of the domestic snowmobile “bison” revolved exclusively around snow machines. But, as you know, in Russia one of the traditional problems does not lose relevance either in winter or in summer, and the lack of roads is our original reality. So the next logical step for Russian Mechanics was the release of 4-wheel all-wheel drive vehicles. We started traditionally with a “screwdriver” assembly of CF Moto “squares”. Later, the RM-Gamax AX600, developed jointly with the Taiwanese company Gamax Moto Corporation, and the “RM500 4x4”, equipped with a Taiwanese TGB engine, appeared. But the competitors did not stand still, and in order not to fall under the sales rink of their more savvy and successful colleagues, Russian Mechanics had to seriously expand the model range of utilitarian 4-wheeled vehicles. Today it is divided into two main groups: the “budget” “Lynx” line with a price ceiling of up to 185,000 rubles and the more “advanced” “RM” family with a cost in the range of 225–300 thousand rubles. At the autumn presentation of the new model line of Rybinsk ATVs, what I most remembered and liked was not the top-end ATVs of the “RM” family, but... the new budget ATV “Lynx 500”! Yes, yes, exactly the 500 cc puny “consumption”! And this is a completely unbiased reaction, I tell you. The fact is that there is too much competition in the premium segment, and the requirements of potential consumers for the performance characteristics, appearance and ergonomics of such equipment are very high - primarily against the backdrop of “branded” cars. But in the budget segment everything is much more honest and simpler. Several key indicators: reliability, price, availability of service and a powerful dealer network - all this can tip the consumer scale in one direction or another. And as market statistics show, the lion's share of sales is made up of those same inexpensive mid-sized “quad workers”. The manufacturer positions the Lynx 500 as a full-fledged utilitarian car for those buyers who are willing to give up additional options for the sake of affordability. The cost of the device is expected to remain at just 185,000 rubles. Where did such a very low price come from? First of all, thanks to the traditional design: the model has the most ordinary frame made of steel pipes, on which A-shaped arms of the front and rear independent suspensions are mounted. Front wheel travel is 170 mm, rear wheel travel is 195 mm. Ground clearance is 235 mm and dry weight is 360 kg. “Lynx 500” is equipped with a liquid-cooled carburetor engine with a cylinder displacement of 493 cm3 and a power of 36.8 liters. With.
The power plant was manufactured in China by a manufacturer whose name is still kept in the strictest confidence at Russian Mechanics. But, as the factory workers assured, the engine is reliable and at the same time repairable. An interesting feature is that the air intake and outlet breathers of the engine are located quite high, so there will be no problems with overcoming deep water obstacles. The transmission is automatic, there is a reduction gear and a front differential lock. A 17-liter fuel tank provides the ATV with a cruising range of 110 km. The hydraulic braking system operates on one transmission brake disc. As standard, the Lynx 500 is equipped with rear-view mirrors, a winch and 25-inch mud tires on stamped rims.
It seems to be a very banal set of performance characteristics and no outstanding speed and power indicators. But out of all the equipment presented at the test, it was the new Lynx 500 that turned out to be the most balanced and pleasant model. Despite its modest characteristics, the small engine very cheerfully accelerated the “kitty” both on smooth country roads and on real off-road conditions. Even a modest 32-horsepower “horse stock” was enough to go in any desired direction. Of course, the engine is rather weak, and the vehicle’s ground clearance could have been higher, but thanks to the well-designed, very “light” steering and good ergonomics of the driver’s seat, riding the new ATV is surprisingly pleasant. Coupled with the price and the seriously developed dealer network of Russian Mechanics, this makes the Lynx 500 a good offer on the market. However, I think the company from Rybinsk should not relax: its closest competitors, CF Moto CF500-A Basic and Stels ATV 500 GT, are very similar to the Lynx 500 in terms of characteristics, and the price is quite competitive. /
Description of the model “Lynx RM 150”
The Lynx RM 150 ATV of the domestic brand “Russian Mechanics” is in demand on tourist trips. The model is also suitable as a functional wheeled all-terrain vehicle. It was released in 2022 in Russia. The engine capacity is 150 cm³.
Thanks to a well-designed chassis and rubber with increased lug, the machine can easily overcome very difficult terrain. And thanks to the installed forced cooling system, engine overheating under increased loads is out of the question.
The vehicle is equipped with a removable trunk and LED headlights. Another feature is a more comfortable location of the gear shift lever.
Competitors of the Lynx ATV
The reason for the popularity of the Lynx 500 model is its affordable price. The new device will cost approximately 300 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration. You can rent a used car for 160-230 thousand rubles. Considering the price-performance ratio, this is an excellent solution for working in the field or for leisure.
Of course, there were some competitors:
- Cectek Gladiator 550 EFI T The machine of the Taiwanese company, released back in 2007, will become a real assistant in the household. The design of the device leaves much to be desired, but its maneuverability and power fully compensate for this shortcoming. However, the price of a Taiwanese ATV is steep; a new device will cost almost 500 thousand rubles.
- Polaris Sportsman X2500 EFI. In terms of performance and reliability, the American leaves the Lynx 500 far behind. But a thoroughbred horse costs a little more. A used Sportsman will cost 280-340 thousand rubles.
- Apache Tees the Lynx and the domestic Apache ATV, created by the ABM brand. Despite the lower power (26 hp), the model looks more attractive. The reason for the popularity of the Apache 400 is its reliable design and significant service life. The utility is relatively inexpensive, only 289 thousand rubles.
A serious blow to the popularity of the Lynx 500 was another vehicle - the RM 500 4x4. The updated version of the ATV, released back in 2011, is distinguished by greater power (40.5 hp) and the absence of design flaws. But the cost of the model is steep; the new RM 500 4×4 will cost as much as 410 thousand rubles.
Another competitor of the model is Polar fox xy500atv 2.
Technical differences between models
The range of Lynx ATVs is quite diverse. Models for both beginners and more experienced drivers are on sale. Lynx 150 is a more versatile SUV. It is suitable for both teenagers and adults. Its recommended load is up to 110 kg.
At first glance, experienced drivers may think that the 150 cc engine is too small. But it is worth considering that the engine of this model is four-stroke. This is a significant advantage over a less traction and more consuming two-stroke engine.
Thanks to the three-speed variator, you can choose the appropriate driving mode in any conditions. This car also has a reverse gear, which makes driving much more comfortable. The Lynx 150 (Russian Mechanics) ATV has excellent stability on rough terrain, as well as comfortable movement on asphalt. This is the merit of the designers, who endowed the ATV with excellent suspension and wide tires with a well-designed tread pattern.
The model has a small tank of 4.5 liters. The ATV also has effective braking, thanks to the hydraulic drive installed on all wheels. With such characteristics, you can feel safe and comfortable while operating this unit.
The Lynx 500 ATV differs from the previous model in power, endurance, and dimensions. This SUV has a carburetor engine originally from China. The engine capacity is 493 cm³. It has a power of 32 horsepower. This model is a powerful unit that can overcome particularly complex loads.
The SUV overcomes water obstacles without much difficulty, since the engine and air intake have a high structural location. The braking system is a single-disc type for the front wheels, and a disc transmission for the rear wheels. This ensures ease of operation. A hydraulic brake drive is installed on both the front and rear wheels.
The model also has a reinforced frame, all-wheel drive, a spacious trunk and a 17-liter fuel tank. This ensures movement of up to 110 kilometers without refueling.
Competitors
The all-terrain vehicle of the Russian Mechanics company has more than enough competitors. Many buyers prefer:
- Kayo Storm In technical terms, the Chinese utility is practically no different from Lynx. Therefore, the buyer will have to choose by price. The cost of Lynx 150 ranges from 85 to 90 thousand rubles, and the Chinese costs 105 thousand rubles.
- Armada 150 D. The Taiwanese sports all-terrain vehicle Armada also poses serious competition to the domestic vehicle. The company installed a 13.5 hp engine, a spacious trunk, an automatic transmission, high-quality lighting, etc. on the model. The 150D all-terrain vehicle beats the Lynx both in technical terms and in versatility. The Taiwanese ATV can withstand a load of up to 150 kg, so it can be used by adults.
- Scorpion This is an ATV developed by the domestic company ABM. The device is almost identical to the Lynx, the difference is only in the design and small parameters. But Scorpio has one tangible advantage: the car can withstand a load of 90 kg. Unfortunately, Scorpion costs as much as 125 thousand rubles.
Serious competition is also taking place within the Lynx line. Considering the similarity of the devices, buyers choose the cheaper 125 Sport model, equipped with a 124 cc engine and costing 55 thousand rubles. Considering the difference in price and the lack of special differences, the decision is quite justified.

The dimensions of the two-seater RM 500 unit are quite massive, since this equipment is intended for serious work:
