This Is the Ideal Roadtripmobile and We’ll Hear Nothing Otherwise

Grab a sidekick quick, because they're only making 18 of 'em

Before 1941, the coolest thing to ever come out of Siberia was either huskies or Rasputin.

But since then, it’s been Ural Motorcycles. It even says it right there on their press release: “The best thing to come out of Siberia since 1941.”

And the best thing to come out of Ural Motorcycles since 1941 may very well be this: the Limited Edition Sahara Gear-Up, proven to best any rocky, sandy or snowy terrain that might come her way.

It’s a modernized 2WD toolbox tank ride with 2.3 cu ft of trunk space, standard luggage racks (and more optional racks, if you need ’em), a utility shovel, a sidecar spotlight and a Cordura Tonneau sidecar cover. Kitted out, it’s practically a family vehicle.

But when we say act fast, we’re talking faster than a kid chasing an ice cream truck. The Sahara starts at a reasonable $17,999, but only 18 bikes will make their way to the States.
