2017 Ural Gear Up Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Ural's classic motorcycle platform, the 2017 Ural Gear Up relies on a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) air-cooled two cylinder boxer, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 41 HP (29.9 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 52 Nm (38.4 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 54.7 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 Gear Up measures 331.1 kg (730 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 7.84 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 242 km (150 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 113 km/h (70 mph).
