Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for riders who value mechanical character and novelty over speed, and sidecar rigs demand a completely different skill set than a solo motorcycle, so prior sidecar experience or a willingness to learn counter-steering-in-reverse is impor
PurposeBuilt for slow, deliberate cruising, photo-worthy presence, and hauling a passenger in heated sidecar comfort rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitThe heavy overall weight combined with the low-powered boxer engine and shaft drive means low-speed maneuvering, parking, and U-turns require real physical effort and confidence.
CharacterA quirky, retro-styled collector's piece with air-cooled boxer charm, a limited-edition sidecar rig meant to turn heads at a relaxed pace rather than post quick times.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking speed, agility, off-road capability, or long high-mileage motorway touring, given its 105 km/h top speed and 4-speed gearbox.

2020 Ural Red October II Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 787mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Ural Red October II, 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.
