Reviews

1. The ATV was purchased for extreme driving. The model is quite worthy of attention, since it has quite good performance indicators. I liked the acceleration and softness of the suspension with high stability at the same time. It absorbs very well when jumping, and most importantly, it can withstand all loads. The engine is very pleasing, both with its power and fuel consumption. I also have a 200 cc model from this manufacturer, but I use that for small work, and I use the Irbis ATV 250 for entertainment and getting a lot of emotions from high-speed maneuvers, because I simply cannot drive it slowly. I haven’t found any shortcomings yet, the technology is really very pleasing, both externally and technically.
2. I bought it 2 years ago at a discount. The model is not very suitable for off-roading; all-wheel drive is often not enough, and a lot of dirt flies. The frame is well designed and inspires confidence. The first few days I just got used to the controls, because it seemed that the steering wheel was very sensitive, but then it worked to my advantage. The traction is quite good, it climbs well. The brakes work effectively and do not cause any complaints. In my opinion, this is a very good model for outdoor enthusiasts, which can easily be found at a very attractive price.

Spare parts and accessories

For Irbis ATVs you need to purchase:

• rear shock absorbers;
• brake disc pads;
• hydraulic foot brake machines;
• drive chains;
• timing chains;
• crankshaft gears;
• front shock absorbers;
• filter elements;
• silent blocks;

Caterpillars are selected, first of all, by their contact area with the surface and ground clearance. These indicators affect cross-country ability, and the first one also affects stability. You definitely need to find out the speed that the tracks will allow you to develop. Other important characteristics:

• types of wheels and rollers;
• materials used;
• additional units;
• surface width;
• equipped with spikes;
• installation speed.

From time to time, people also purchase swingarms for ATVs (to replace worn-out factory parts). But in addition to the main parts, accessories are also very useful. Most often we are talking about:

• wheel wideners (increasing traction and increasing buoyancy);
• headlight detectors;
• gangways;
• shovel holders.
