Production of legendary motorcycles has been suspended in Sverdlovsk Oblast.
"Ural" has suspended production of its classic motorcycles. The manufacturer is now launching the Ural Neo line, developed together with China's Yingang, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta, citing a letter from the company's president, Ilya Khait.
According to Khait, it is no longer possible to maintain production of all‑wheel‑drive motorcycles after assembly was moved to Kazakhstan in 2022. In recent years the company has been losing money on every motorcycle produced due to disruptions in logistics, imposed sanctions, rising costs and declining profitability.
Motorcycle production has been suspended indefinitely; for now the Irbit Motorcycle Plant is not being closed. It will continue to produce small batches for the domestic market and spare parts for export.
Still, Russian engineers are participating in the development of the new Ural Neo line. The company believes the new models could become popular, which would help it eventually return to the market with the production of classic motorcycles.
At the same time, it was reported very recently that a boom in demand for Ural motorcycles emerged at dealerships after Putin's gift to a resident of Alaska.
