Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who have experience with sidecar rigs or are willing to learn, since a sidecar-equipped machine handles nothing like a solo motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for slow, deliberate exploration and rugged utility rather than speed, functioning more like a light off-road utility vehicle than a conventional bike.
Rider FitRequires real physical effort and upper-body strength to muscle the rig through turns, ruts, and low-speed maneuvers, especially with the sidecar attached.
CharacterAppeals to riders drawn to mechanical simplicity, old-school charm, and go-anywhere adventure over refinement or performance.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking speed, sporty cornering, or an easy, low-effort ride, as its low top speed and unconventional handling make it unsuitable for spirited road riding.

2014 Ural Cross Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Ural Cross, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
