Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders comfortable with a sidecar rig's unique steering demands, not a beginner-friendly motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for slow, deliberate off-road exploration and utilitarian hauling with a sidecar rather than any kind of speed or sport riding.
Rider FitHeavy and top-heavy at 320kg dry weight, it demands strength and deliberate muscle input at low speed, especially when maneuvering the sidecar rig.
CharacterA charmingly old-world, mechanical rig that rewards patience, tinkering, and a love of rugged simplicity over refinement or performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking speed, cornering agility, or a modern, low-maintenance riding experience.

2012 Ural Patrol T Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Ural Patrol T, 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.
