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

Irbis motorcycles are interesting, the lineup of which we will consider further.

A little more about the company

The name of the company was chosen by the name of the snow leopard, a rare animal that lives in Central Asia and is listed in the Red Book. This predator is independent, fast and able to travel great distances. In short, it has all the characteristics that are desirable for aggressive motorcycles.

Unpretentious snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATVs and scooters are perfect for those who lovedynamism, freedom and activity. They will be interesting for both experienced riders and beginners. All equipment is reliable and behaves with dignity on Russian roads. The developers assure that all comments from consumers are taken into account when new Irbis motorcycles are released. The lineup includes two types:

• travel;
• off-road.

Road bikes

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 are easy and safe to ride. The maximum speed is one hundred kilometers per hour.

They will also be useful for those who do not want to waste their time in traffic jams, but get to work and home quickly and easily. Irbis motorcycles are perfect for this purpose as a convenient technique. Their prices are much lower than off-road models. And low power will save novice drivers from accidents.

Off-road

This class of Irbis models is much more powerful. Motorcycles are purchased for extreme riding and participation in competitions and races. Their engine capacity is from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty cubic meters. The maximum speed is one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour.

All models have excellent maneuverability. Therefore, when choosing a machine, you should correlate the reliability of the design, weight and mobility.

The division into road and off-road models is rather conditional. HoweverHowever, the driver must take into account, for example, the fact that they drive around the city only with lighting equipment, which is often absent on motocross models. On the other hand, without powerful shock absorbers and stable brakes, it is unlikely that you will be able to ride with pleasure over rough terrain.

Views

"Irbis" - motorcycles, which, like the equipment of other companies, can be divided into the following types.

1. Choppers, the most important looking of all, are comfortable, with a comfortable seat, chrome-plated with all sorts of details. However, due to their massiveness, they are too clumsy to maneuver. Irbis has a model of this class called Garpia. Its price can vary from 90,000 rubles to 150,000.
2. Sportbikes are designed for fast riding and have an aggressive look without extra amenities that can negatively impact performance. They do not think about comfort here - there is neither time nor desire for this. Such models should be purchased for experienced motorcyclists, but not for beginners. Sports bikes are represented, for example, by the Z1 250CC model, the price of which is about 170,000 rubles.
3. Enduro, on the contrary, will be an excellent conductor for motorcycle racing. On the one hand, they are easy to manage, and on the other, it is good to learn how to maneuver on them. Enduro beginners have fewer accidents than others. They are easy to ride both on rough terrain and on a good road. At the same time, this model is cheaper to maintain compared toothers. At "Irbis" models of this class are Intruder, TTR250R and others. Their prices are lower and range from 65,000 to 85,000 rubles.
4. Crossovers are like enduros, but they don't have lights for city driving. These are TTR125, TTR125R and so on. This type is even cheaper: you can find prices from 48,000 to 60,000 rubles.
5. Universal motorcycles are most often found on the roads. They are a good option for beginner riders, as they are powerful, light and at the same time comfortable and stylish Irbis motorcycles.

Reviews of almost all models from the owners of this technique sound mostly positive.

How to choose the right model?

First you need to decide on the purpose of purchasing a motorcycle. Is it expected to be mostly quiet and moderate city driving, or is it expected to be driven with many obstacles over hills and bumps? Or maybe the transport will serve to participate in the race? After determining the goal, they begin to study the advantages that the Irbis have - motorcycles, among the undoubted advantages of which are the following.

1. Appearance. The exterior of the motorcycle is selected depending on the road on which it will be operated. Nevertheless, in any of the models there is a chic that can attract attention. Colors and shapes are designed with the times in mind.
2. Convenience. On the road for which the motorcycle is designed, he behaves confidently and freely. The driver will feel comfortableseat. Many models are additionally equipped with a backrest for even more comfort.

3. Accessibility. The original goals of the company included the development of transport for everyone and everyone. Therefore, the buyer among all models can choose the ideal one for himself.

"Irbis" - affordable, modern and high quality motorcycles.

Let's take a closer look at the characteristics of this motorcycle using the example of two types of models.

1. TTR250 (enduro).
2. TTR125, representing Irbis motocross motorcycles.

TTR250

This vehicle is worth paying attention to. Despite the Chinese manufacture, it has excellent technical characteristics. There is a long-travel suspension of good rigidity, large wheels, a kick to the starter and excellent ground clearance.

The prototype of his engine is the "Honda" CB250.

The gearbox deserves special praise, which is tirelessly repeated by those who own Irbis motorcycles. Reviews of this abound.

The bike is well controlled. However, at 60 kilometers per hour on a country road, it can stagger slightly. However, leveling it up quickly isn't too difficult.

Despite the low price, the quality is excellent.

"Irbis" TTR125

This model is one of the most popular from this manufacturer. The device strives to be equal to"Japanese". It has a reliable frame, and the motor allows you to accelerate to a hundred kilometers per hour. A comfortable landing is provided for the pilot.
