Ural Patrol motorcycles are passable and versatile

Ural Patrol is a universal motorcycle. This unique model is perfect for both driving on flat roads and severe off-road conditions. This device is designed for long trips and is equipped with a rigid front fork, a comfortable wide seat, a reliable chassis and everything necessary for comfortable transportation of your luggage. All these characteristics attract motorcycle enthusiasts who are not demanding of advanced characteristics to this model. A motorcycle easily competes with an ordinary car in its purpose - after all, getting to a river over rough terrain is easier on such a motorcycle than on a car, even if we are talking about an all-wheel drive jeep. At the same time, the difference in price will be significant even when compared with domestic used SUVs.

The production of this motorcycle began in 2006 at the Irbit Motorcycle Plant, based on Ural Tourist. In 2008, the Ural Patrol was partially modernized and it took a place in the forefront in popularity among modern Ural models.

While not distinguished by a high level of maneuverability, due to its category of “wheelchair rider,” this motorcycle more than compensates for this disadvantage with its powerful cross-country ability, which became possible thanks to the all-wheel drive system of this motorcycle and its 19-inch wheels. Switching the drives between one wheel and the sidecar is done by simply switching the lever. Based on this, the Ural Patrol has become a full-fledged 2WD off-road motorcycle.

The Ural Patrol is equipped with a 4-stroke two-cylinder engine with a capacity of 745 cc. centimeters of air cooling, with kickstater and electrostater. Engine power is 40 hp. With. at 5600 rpm. The motorcycle's power system successfully combines domestic parts produced at IMZ and foreign-made parts.

Ural Patrol 2014. From Russia with love. And electronic fuel injection.

Riding a motorcycle with a sidecar is like traveling to another world. And riding a motorcycle with a Russian-made Ural sidecar is comparable to traveling to another world, imbued with magic. Riding on it is also associated with the feeling of fighting with an epileptic three-legged bear who was drunk on vodka. The bear is at the "fool" stage - just one step away from becoming cruel. But after a while, you and your hairy, horny friend become friends, and then this drunken three-legged bear dances on your lap while you're in a chair that's tilting backwards. If that doesn't sound exciting, I don't even know what planet you're from. Okay, maybe the ride in the 2014 Ural Patrol isn't exactly the same, but it's not that different. What's really important is to be calm and in control of your ride as much as possible. When you accelerate, the bike leans to the right. When you brake, he wants to go left. Various surface irregularities send him in different directions, almost like boxers' feints. Do not be afraid. After riding a motorcycle for a while, riding with a sidecar will become the new norm. Of course, you can bet that many of the joys of a two-wheeled motorcycle disappear with the addition of a sidecar. You can’t bend over, your vehicle is too wide to squeeze into cracks when moving, it’s harder to park, and so on. But it is the stroller that opens up a whole new, unfamiliar universe, where everyone is smiling and wants to go for a ride, and you decide whether to take with you some junk, a few pounds of rubble, a full keg of oatmeal stout (beer) or a few gallons of borscht. You may be thinking about taking the Ural camping or driving in the snow. Or go surfing in Mexico and ride on the beach. Especially because this Patrol has two-wheel drive, and the power is sent to the sidecar wheel using a locking differential.

Oh, you can still take a passenger. This year, Ural has undergone major changes. Electronic fuel injection from Michigan-based ElectroJet replaced the carburetors, and there were triple disc brakes instead of just a single disc up front. Brembo makes calipers for the front and sidecar, and Hayes makes calipers for the rear, because it also includes a parking brake. The adjustable hydraulic steering damper was replaced with the old friction type, which had been used since its introduction in 1941, when the Ural was first copied from German BMWs during World War II. Anyway, I was going to laugh at the fact that Ural discovered a new technology called Electronic Fuel Injection, but then I remembered the American astronauts docking with the Russian ISS. Therefore, well done, Ural. Even with these upgrades, the $15,399 Patrol still looks very vintage, and the modern touches can't take away from the bike's charm. However, you'll have to accept the bike's increased, but still modest, power output and its recommended top speed of 70 mph. Electronic injection helps, but new cam profiles and a larger airbox also contribute to the overall output of the 749cc air-cooled horizontal twin. The declared torque is 52-57 Newton meters, the maximum occurs at 4300 rpm, which is 300 rpm less than that of a carburetor motorcycle. Claimed maximum power is 41 hp. at 5,500 rpm. You, of course, can increase the revs, but there is no tachometer, so there is no need to look for their limit: firstly, the 4-speed transmission does not like this, and will thresh and clank all the way at high revs; secondly, the torque at low speeds will allow you to get to your destination in about the same time.

The best thing to do is just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Starting (by foot or electric starter) has become better, the engine runs smoother and stopping this 330 kg fellow has become easier than before. Stick to 100 km/h and the joy will not leave you. I accelerated to 130 km/h and the bike seemed to have not yet reached the limit, but I was no longer interested. To test the dirt holding capacity of the Patrol filter, I drove through some pretty rough places. The shock absorption and chassis composure off-road are surprisingly good, but you won't be doing motocross here. Don't jump. Never. Most of the time, single-wheel drive works well, but two-wheel drive makes it easier to climb steep hills, obviously useful in snow or mud, neither of which we've seen in a while in these parts. Not everyone can be the owner of a Ural, but everyone should ride it. This is truly a symbol motorcycle. Only now he has become much better. Don't be afraid of the bear. He's harmless and funny, if a little hairy.

New Ural motorcycles - photos and characteristics

Russian motorcycle manufacturers, despite the large selection of Japanese and Chinese equipment, still try to please consumers with excellent new products, and in 2015 the IMZ company introduced a number of new models.

Today, most of them are available for sale throughout Russia; to buy a Ural motorcycle, you just need to find a dealership; the company has several dozen of them throughout the country. At the time of 2015, the manufacturer was able to introduce 7 new models, differing from each other in shape and some characteristics. Most of the new products are already familiar to you from Soviet times, but the essence of the updates is to add new, more modern characteristics to the motorcycles, such as improved brakes, a more advanced engine system, etc.

Technical characteristics of motorcycles Ural 2015

It is worth noting that all 7 models have quite a lot in common; each of them contains:

• powerful 750cc boxer engine;
• constant air cooling;
• 4-speed gearbox with the ability to drive in reverse.

Even as children, we had to remember the same boxer engine of Ural motorcycles, which produced excellent speed data. Now the manufacturer has decided to modify the motorcycle, increasing its volume and power. Having bought a new model, you will not only be satisfied with the purchase, but also forget for a long time about the main defects and frequent breakdowns of the old Urals. The new models have received improvements, so that now oil will not leak from the engine.

The new Ural 2015, photos of which will be below, are especially popular today in the United States. Such equipment is valued there, although in Russia it is losing demand due to the high price for consumers. In 2015 and beyond, IMZ motorcycles are mostly supplied to the USA.

Six of the seven 2015 models retained the standard stroller, only the Retro Solo did not receive one. All new products, without exception, now have the ability to engage reverse gear, and the Patrol and Gear Up models now have all-wheel drive. Urals have always been spoken about positively in terms of cross-country ability, because the motorcycle could get out of any difficult situation. With the new all-wheel drive, 2 models can overcome these barriers even better with the push of just 1 lever. As mentioned above, motorcycles are of different types, for example, the “Retro Solo” model does not have a sidecar, which makes it great for traveling and driving around the city.

Of course, the new products have one big drawback that repels customers - the high price. On average, 2015 models are asking from 500 to 700 thousand rubles, and most people buy Japanese fast bikes. But still, some fans of Soviet classics will buy them and feel nostalgic when riding Ural road motorcycles. Let's take a quick look at some of the new Ural motorcycles 2015, photos and their characteristics.

Motorcycle Ural ST

The new product was presented by the plant at the end of 2014 and was positioned as a representative of 2015. At the moment, the price of the model is 594,000 rubles. Particularly noteworthy are a number of positive innovations in the field of management. This indicator was improved by reducing the weight of the stroller and other structural elements. The model is perfect for beginner bikers.

The model's rims are 18 inches in size, and this is what has improved ground clearance and maneuverability. The engine with fuel injection, having a volume of 745 cubic meters, is responsible for excellent and reliable operation. The heavy road model reaches speeds of up to 110 km/h, with an average fuel consumption of 7.6 liters. The power declared by the manufacturer is 42 hp.

Motorcycle Ural Patrol

The most important advantage of this model is the presence of all-wheel drive, which is transmitted to the stroller wheel. Thus, you can operate the motorcycle both on city roads and off-road. The engine remains the same as other 2015 models. The design of the motorcycle is discreet, but the presence of a bright red color attracts primarily young people.

To cope with difficult road conditions, the manufacturer decided to install Marzocchi telescopic suspension and imported Sachs shock absorbers. The front disc brakes are hydraulic, from the famous Brembo company.

Motorcycle Ural Solo

The price of this motorcycle is 559,000 rubles, and the main advantage over other new products is its excellent design and the absence of a sidecar. That is, the motorcycle was originally created as a retro model with excellent characteristics. All the elements here are in harmony with each other, there is an old seat upholstered in leather, lots of chrome elements, black color of most of the builders and a teardrop tank.

This model seems to commemorate war times, which is emphasized by the design of the Ural Solo. The engine here is the same as in previous models, 2 cylinders and 745 cc. With such overall dimensions, the new product can drive perfectly around the city even in heavy traffic.

Motorcycle Ural Gear-Up

At the moment, this is one of the most expensive Ural models of 2015, its price is 648,000 rubles. The basis for creating the motorcycle was the Tourist model, but among the improvements the following were made:

• new roll bars;
• drive to the sidecar wheel (all-wheel drive motorcycle);
• new color options: Forest Camouflage, Desert Camouflage and Forest Fog;
• new lights and cases appeared.

In appearance, the new product shows its power and desire to conquer even the most difficult road. As a result, the manufacturer was able to create a motorcycle that has good cross-country ability, 19-inch wheels, a large trunk, high ground clearance and the latest imported electrical equipment. The result can be seen in the photo.

Endurance record on a motorcycle Ural Patrol Gear Up

Two American journalists from the authoritative publication Cycle World had a great time on the 2016 Ural Patrol Gear Up, simultaneously setting a record for non-stop travel time on a motorcycle with a sidecar: 1,358 miles (2,185 km) in 29 hours behind the wheel!

Two friends and colleagues set off on a wild endurance ride from Seattle (home of the Ural motorcycle dealership) to Los Angeles (home of the Cycle World editorial office).

The rules of travel are simple: no stops (except for forced ones or at traffic lights) and no change of pilots (except while on the move). And so that life would not seem like honey at all, the guys chose the Russian Ural Patrol Gear Up for the trip and laid out a route along secondary roads, abandoning the simplest route along highways.

However, the journalists themselves say that there was no special purpose, much less any deeper meaning, in such a trip - and that’s why it’s good! And they came up with such a dubious record only to test their strength, and not for the sake of fame. In other words, the guys just had a great ride, gaining unique impressions and emotions. Here are some quotes from the report:

“You know, there is something surprisingly right about setting a record... which is basically meaningless! Especially on a motorcycle"

“When I tried to keep the Ural straight, almost all the muscles in my body were literally burning from tension, my arms turned into steel crowbars, I couldn’t feel my legs at all. But this was entirely our choice with my colleague: no one chooses a catamaran to cross the Atlantic...”

“We live an easy life. After all, your iPhone and your Honda Accord are no faster or quieter than your neighbor’s – it doesn’t stand out in any way from millions of its kind and doesn’t require anything from you. Modern mechanisms and machines simply work. The Urals came from another era. Like violins, they are all different from each other - even despite their external similarities."

“Before this, I had never driven a Ural. But it was simply impossible not to fall in love with this amazing Russian motorcycle - especially when the sun was setting over the horizon of the Pacific Ocean, and we were racing along the coast in its warm rays... Technical imperfection gives the equipment individuality, and Patrol Gear Up has a truly broad soul. The motorcycle did not give up and did not stand up, but reached the finish line, opening the door behind which our own capabilities and boundaries are hidden. Unfortunately, we all started to forget that all we really needed was just a motorcycle.”
