Urals aren’t just motorcycles with a sidecar bolted on. Ural side-by-sides had to meet 1940s military requirements with purpose-built, rugged construction and stone-simple, easy-to-fix mechanicals, and needed great load capacity and handling. Decades of reliability and performance improvements since haven’t changed that basic premise. The motorcycle and sidecar frame are made to work together, with a strong, stiff Earles-type leading-link front end. It has steering geometry that’d be too quick on the bike without the sidecar, but makes turning the side-by-side rig a breeze.
