Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders comfortable with a three-wheeled sidecar rig, since it handles nothing like a conventional two-wheeled motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for rugged, low-speed off-road exploration and utilitarian adventure travel rather than outright speed or sporty riding.
Rider FitRiding and maneuvering this heavy 363 kg sidecar rig demands real physical strength and deliberate, constant steering input at all speeds.
CharacterIt has a rugged, old-world military character, all torque-driven low-speed grunt, mechanical simplicity, and go-anywhere durability over refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting quick acceleration, nimble cornering, or a modern high-speed touring experience.

2016 Ural Cross TWD Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Ural Cross TWD, 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.
