A Look Inside the Ural Factory

Ural Factory Tour 2017

Ural Factory Tour 2017

On his epic summer adventure and his family recently visited the URAL factory in Irbit to see where his Ural was born.

Unknown to him URAL had arranged for his bike to get a full work through, giving it some love after over 70,000 kilometers on the road.

“I told them I only needed a gasket for my alternator and the small switch to turn on the rear brake lights. Then in 30 minutes my bike was completely apart and the guys started replacing all sorts of stuff on it.

I was there with my eyes wide and could not believe what is going on… I kept adding up the parts in my mind, counting everything they replaced, and started freaking out at what it would cost…” 

“They saw my face and started smiling. Relax! It’s on the house!

We stood there in disbelief, really, it’s beyond my ability to put into words… it’s the biggest surprise I’ve had since I bought the bike. I just want you to know that this means a lot to us, and we are deeply thankful for this. I still can’t believe what happened. A thousand thank you’s for that, and I still feel it’s not enough.”

While we worked on Mihai’s bike he explored the factory, sharing a rare look at our dedicated team building the newest batch of Urals. These bikes will be exported all over the world, ready to take customers on their next big adventures.
