"Irbis" (motorcycles): the model range, prices, reviews

"Irbis" appeared in 2001. Talented motorcyclists from Vladivostok decided to create their own model, affordable for many and not inferior to Japanese and European brands. It all started with the Z50R scooter. The company developed quickly enough, opening its dealer centers. To date, more than thirty models of motor vehicles and a huge number of accessories, spare parts and equipment are offered.

Interesting are the motorcycles "Irbis", a model number which will be considered further.

A little more about the company

The company's name was chosen by the name of a snow leopard, a rare animal that inhabits Central Asia and is listed in the Red Book. This predator is independent, fast and capable of passing huge distances. In short, it has all the characteristics that are desirable for aggressive motor technology.

Uncomplicated snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATVs and scooters will perfectly suit those who love dynamism, freedom and activity. With them it will be interesting both experienced riders and beginners. All equipment is reliable and behaves with dignity on Russian roads. The developers assure that all the consumer's comments are taken into account when new Irbis motorcycles are launched. The lineup includes two types:

• Road;
• Off-road.

Road motorcycles

This is a great option for city driving. Models of this type are represented by a small motor: from one hundred and ten to one hundred and fifty cubic centimeters. They can ride safely and safely. The maximum speed is one hundred kilometers per hour.

Also they will be useful to those who do not want to waste their time in traffic jams, but get to work and home quickly and easily. As a convenient technique for this purpose, motorcycles "Irbis" are perfect. Prices for them are much lower than off-road models. A low power will save novice drivers from accidents.

Off-road

Much more power is characteristic of this class of Irbis models. Motorcycles are purchased for extreme driving and participation in competitions and races. The volume of the engine is from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty cubes. The maximum speed is one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour.

All models feature excellent maneuverability. Therefore, when choosing a machine, it is necessary to relate the design reliability, weight and mobility.

The division into road and off-road models is rather conditional. Nevertheless, the driver should take into account, for example, that the city travels only with lighting equipment, which is often absent on cross-country models. On the other hand, without powerful shock absorbers and stable brakes, it is unlikely that you can drive with pleasure over rough terrain.

Kinds

"Irbis" - motorcycles, which, as well as the technique of other companies, can be divided into the following types.

1. Choppers , the most important in appearance from all, comfortable, with a comfortable seat, chrome-plated all sorts of details. However, because of their massive nature, they are too slow to maneuver. At "Irbis" the model of this class under name Garpia is known. Its price can vary from 90,000 rubles to 150,000 rubles.
2. Sportbikes are designed for fast driving and have an aggressive image without superfluous conveniences which can negatively affect speed characteristics. They do not think about comfort here - there is neither time nor desire for it. Such models should be purchased for experienced motorcyclists, but not for beginners. Sportbikes are, for example, model Z1 250CC, the price of which is about 170 000 rubles.
3. Enduro , by contrast, will be an excellent guide for motorcycle racing. They, on the one hand, are easy to manage, and on the other, it is good to learn to maneuver on them. Drivers starting with enduros are less likely to get into an accident than others. With them, it's easy to travel both on rough terrain and on a good road. At the same time, this model is cheaper to maintain than others. In "Irbis" models of this class are Intruder, TTR250R and others. The prices for these are lower and range from 65,000 to 85,000 rubles.
4. Crossovers are similar to enduro, but they do not have lighting devices for driving around the city. This is TTR125, TTR125R and so on. This type is even cheaper: you can find prices from 48 000 to 60 000 rubles.
5. Universal motorcycles can often be found on the roads. They are a good option for beginning racers, as they are powerful, light and at the same time comfortable and stylish motorcycles "Irbis".

Reviews about almost all models from the owners of this technique sound mostly in a positive way.
