A motorcycle for off-road use has been created in Russia, costing 320 thousand rubles. A prototype of the bike from the Draxter company from Kurgan was presented at the "Motozima" exhibition.
The Telegram channel "Avtopotok" reported that a light and affordable all-terrain motorcycle can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. Its expected cost is 320 thousand rubles. Production of the unnamed model with a Chinese Lifan engine is scheduled to begin in 2025.
The prototype motorcycle is equipped with domestic "Kama" tires with an aggressive tread pattern and stamped wheels. The motorcycle frame has a simple design, and its appearance is not particularly sophisticated.
However, the cost of the motorcycle is relatively low, since only one Lifan engine can be purchased at a price of 36 thousand rubles. Motorcycles are produced in the Kurgan region, and Draxter's offices are located in Chelyabinsk and Moscow.
Draxter specializes in the production of motor snowmobiles, garden equipment and wood shredding equipment. The company's all-terrain motorcycle is based on a 20-horsepower single-cylinder Lifan KP460E engine with air cooling. The engine runs on gasoline and has a carburetor fuel system.
The rear axle of the motorcycle is driven by a chain, and traction is transmitted through a Safari-type variator.
The motorcycle turned out to be very simple, with a chain drive only to the rear wheel. But it is light and relatively cheap.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Irbit Motorcycle Plant, which had previously moved its production facilities to Kazakhstan, is returning to the production of Ural CT single-wheel drive motorcycles with a front wheel. Production of the bikes will begin in January 2025. However, you can already find the characteristics of these urban motorcycles equipped with a sidecar and an 82-liter luggage compartment on the official website.
