2016 Ural Dark Force Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2016 Ural Dark Force classic motorcycle, Ural utilizes a 745 cc (45.5 cu in) air-cooled two cylinder boxer, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 41 HP (29.9 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 57 Nm (42 lb-ft) at 4,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 55 HP per liter and a 1,200 rpm working window between peak torque (4,300 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Dark Force measures 317.5 kg (700 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.74 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 253 km (157 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
