do you have a gas strut prop or did you loose the ability to have that with the airbox for the snorkel ? comeup has the fairlead stay now so you dont have to hang it up and make noise , i picked it up and its a nice addition
Great idea! Most ‘camp’ recipes are either too simple/boring or require too many ingredients. This is perfect and a beautifully done video. Can’t wait to try it with some homemade Alaskan apple pie jam! Now to find the Brie…
I own the at4x aev edition and whats great is having that 360° back cam! I honestly don't need because the mirrors and insane amount of sensors for everything! Also cab is comfortable but agree white isn't a ideal color for 4x4 but but this is a luxury 4x4 off the rack truck!
What could be more troublesome than a Soviet Union copy of an out of date Germany motorcycle. Urinal is what we call it. I had a friend that bought one a few years ago, and told him the Ural would suck. Every time he tried to ride with us it broke. We told him we can't keep waiting on the side of the road in Texas for a flat bed truck to take that thing to the shop. No one would work on it, especially the BMW dealers. He gave it away and bought a Honda.
Doesn’t seem all that long ago you couldn’t give these Eastern Block BMW copies away. Have they improved reliability, fuel consumption and road speed potential. It looks like it should work, but is it an around the world adventurers dream?
Since about 2007 practically every component of the Ural has been upgraded, including EFI. Although assembled in the former USSR the majority of parts come from elsewhere, including Italy and Japan, and are modern. They still require a keen mechanically minded rider, however they'll be focused on maintenance, oil changes, etc rather than many hours fixing rotten parts. In terms of fuel consumption and road speed, they're optimised for off road and low-mid speed torque, not top speed. Fuel consumption is still lacking, but they're air cooled and a lot of the most modern techniques for improving power and economy are not available to them. Regardless, they've upped the required fuel octane to maximise compression and therefore power and economy since the pre-2000 days.
@@kaio3757 You make a good defence of an old design, a design that I do like. I would have one in a heartbeat if it was in my financial reach. The limitations of these modernised old engines are as you imply, a result of basic design limitations, but that doesn’t need to be a negative. Many people like me don’t value high speed A to B adventuring, but do enjoy the capability of side of the road repairability if it has it, easy of use, go anywhere ability and the joy of seeing where you are riding with enough time to enjoy it. I do think the price of these modernised machines is at the high end of premium and rules many appreciators out of ownership.
With all the steel, alu, leather, fridges, racks, kits, lights, etc... that thing has to be very out of wack weight wise.... I though mine was heavy but good grief. Definitely going to need that wench 😁. I definitely like that fender rack, but $400+ ?????
Wow this came out super cool. Love too see something other than a Tacoma. And the canyon has a great look too it all ready but you guys kick up a couple more notch’s …Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏾
Love the Kalabar accessories. They understand Urals. However I am less sure that the people at overland expo do. Ural themselves as well as the major dealers, (Raceway, and Alpha) among others, already produce accessories that I feel better suit the Ural overlanding esthetic. A Ural Geo is a very similarly kitted out bike. However knowing that this bike is half advertisement for the other companies involved and for the expo itself explains their decisions. While I may not be a fan of some parts of the bike, overall it's a Ural and each one is unique once their owners start customizing, I know mine is.
Agree with a few of the post, relocating the spare tire is a huge change. Yet she forgot to mention how it’s mounted, and obviously it must have free play from the sidecar.
How are the Kalabar racks better than the Urals? What metal are they, steel, aluminum, other? Are those slots in the racks chamfered? Otherwise or even with, it seems it would not take long to cut through those straps, not a fan. That headlight guard seems like it would block a lot of light, so you need those extra lights. Those leather straps, and bag, may be good in dry climates but what about in the wet? The winch pulls a ton???? Really or 2,000 pounds / 1,000Kg or was it a figure of speach? Maybe next time maybe a presenter who is a little less caffeinated?
