Ural has lowered the suspension of their T tourer outfit to release the cT version.
The Russian company says the suspension changes to the outfit are “quite subtle”, but the price change in Australia is almost $2000 more at $20,340 (+ORC).
The Ural cT gets lower clearance by changing from 19-inch wheels to 18-inch and using used retro sidecar suspension to bring the chair down a couple of extra centimetres.
This should lower the centre of gravity to increase stability and cornering ability.
To further improve stability, they have expanded the mounting brackets for a wider wheel track.
This also means the chair is less likely to lift on faster or off-camber turns. Although, for some outfit riders, that little show-stopper trick is half the fun of riding these machines!
The 4×18 wheels have also lowered the gearing for better acceleration. Ural admits their bikes have been “slightly over-geared in top when battling a headwind or long gradual climbs”.
Now riders shouldn’t have to swap cogs as much.
