Company History
Ural’s horizontally opposed twins and factory sidecars became synonymous with go-anywhere utility—unpaved roads, snow, and cargo duty. Modern Urals add EFI, disc brakes, and improved electrics while preserving the tractor-like torque and simplicity owners love. Clubs and dealer networks emphasize community and spares, making long-term ownership feasible. Historically, Ural is a time capsule refined: a purpose-built sidecar rig that transforms back roads and winters into adventure at friendly speeds.
