Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience with sidecar rigs or are willing to learn an entirely different discipline of low-speed steering and countersteering-free handling.
PurposeThis is a go-anywhere expedition and utility rig built for rough terrain exploration, hauling gear, and novelty touring rather than fast road riding.
Rider FitThe heavy dry weight, sidecar leverage, and manual-feel controls demand solid upper body strength and stamina, especially at low speeds and when maneuvering off-road.
CharacterQuirky, rugged, and deliberately old-school, it rewards patient riders who value mechanical charm and off-road capability over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking quick acceleration, nimble cornering, or a conventional two-wheeled motorcycle feel.

2016 Ural Patrol Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Ural Patrol, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
