Snowmobile "Shihan" is an excellent transport in snowy off-road conditions. In the northern regions of Russia, for many months of the year, one has to move on snow or water-eroded soil in spring and autumn. "Shihan" (snowmobile) - light transport for long trips in the snow. It is popular with hunters and fishermen in all regions of Russia.

The snowmobile's open tracks clear snow easily. Equipped with a branded Japanese Mikuni carburetor reduces fuel consumption. Wide tracks create minimal ground pressure. The swivel ski makes it easy to maneuver.

Design features

Snowmobile "Shihan" has a short welded frame with a specially provided cargo compartment and trusses located on the sides of the undercarriage. Farms contribute to the self-cleaning of tracks from ice and allow for a visual technical inspection of the undercarriage. This feature is very popular with fishermen and hunters who often ride snowmobiles in muddy conditions.

"Shikhan" - a snowmobile with one front swivel spring ski and two wide (380 mm) bearing long (2878.5 mm) tracks - an excellent all-terrain vehicle for moving on snowy terrain. Two-stroke snowmobile engine with a capacity of 34 hp. With. starts from a manual starter.

The large total area of the track carriers keeps the snowmobile's ground pressure to a minimum. The front sprung swivel ski makes it easy to maneuver through trees, bushes or other obstacles. "Shihan" (snowmobile) has excellent cross-country ability.

Specifications

The Shikhan snowmobile was developed as an alternative to the popular and well-known Buran snowmobile, a vehicle that can easily navigate off-road and deep snow without cargo and with heavily loaded sleds.

As a result, it was possible to launch a series of excellent off-road cargo-passenger vehicles - Shikhan snowmobiles. The characteristics of the technique are reflected in the instructions.

These include:

• relatively light weight without equipment - 285 kg;
• length with ski - 2800 mm, without ski - 2540 mm;
• width 900mm;
• height with windshield 1450mm;
• speed 60 km/h;
• pressure on bearing surfaces - 5.58 kPa/kg/cm;
• maximum possible slope when moving (descent/ascent) - 22 degrees;
• maximum turning radius - no more than 8 m;
• braking distance - up to 10 m;
• two-stroke 2-cylinder carbureted engine635 cu. see;
• possible maximum area - 25-34 kW depending on modification;
• air cooling system;
• manual or electric start;
• internal tank - 28 l;
• automatic transmission;
• variator - V-belt;
• shift - manual with mechanical drive;
• transmission to the caterpillar shaft - chain;
• reinforced fabric rubber track;
• wheel - motorcycle;
• brake - disc;
• ignition - electronic.

Snowmobiles run on AI-80 and AI-90 gasoline mixed with oils: Bombardier XP-S Formula, Taiga-2T, M-8V, MS-20, Buran-2T ", "Ecoil-2T-Arctic", "Ecoil-2T".

Shihan is a snowmobile that starts well in low temperatures.

Benefits

Snowmobiles "Shihan" have a modified design of the carrier frame patented by the manufacturer. A welded square tube frame keeps the snowmobile off-road and durable.

Snowmobile "Shihan" (reviews of the owners testify to this) has the highest unification (interchangeability) of structural components.

This is the main advantage of the Shihan snowmobiles. This greatly simplifies operation and maintenance.

What is the difference between the Shikhan snowmobile and the Buran

According to experts, Shihan snowmobiles area modern analogue of the Buran snowmobile.

There are certain distinctive features in its design:

1. Reinforced hull of a welded two-tier metal profile frame, with two side, one central truss and an additional cargo compartment.

2. Additionally reinforced:

   - gas tank bed;

   -under-engine base;- mounting brackets for rollers and balancers.

3. There is a comfortable wide (45 cm wide) seat equipped with a backrest. There is ample storage space under the seat.
4. Additionally reinforced steering column, steering rack, steering wheel tick.
5. In the steering column (lower part) there is a ball adjustment mechanism that allows you to accurately set the angle of the longitudinal axis of the ski relative to the steering wheel.
6. The diameter of the kingpin has been increased, a spline reinforced connection is provided in its upper part, a rolling bearing is used in the lower and upper parts, which prolongs the service life of the kingpin and makes it easier to control the snowmobile.
7. Rear track guide shafts reinforced.
8. Rear and front balancers of a new sample, reinforced with three springs.
9. Latest hood design with windshield and headlight.
10. Redesigned engine cover and dashboard.
11. Optional equipment available.

Large total track area allows the snowmobile to move easily in fresh, loose and deep snow.

Reviews

To move through the snowy taiga, a suitable vehiclemeans - a snowmobile "Shikhan". Reviews of fishermen and hunters allow us to judge the excellent driving performance of this transport.

The swivel ski makes it easy to maneuver, sitting comfortably on a single or double seat, depending on the modification.

Two tracks provide excellent traction with minimal ground pressure. A strong frame with a cargo compartment allows you to use the Shikhan snowmobile to move goods. Customer reviews note the convenient steering and the ability to easily move loaded sleds. The snowmobile works great in deep snow on a hill.

The cost of the Shihan snowmobile

The Shikhan snowmobile is perfectly suited for moving through deep snow, muddy roads or off-road, its price is justified by reliability.

Depending on the modification, the cost of a snowmobile can vary from 190 to 250 thousand rubles. The price also depends on the additional equipment.
