1998 Ural Solo Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Ural's naked motorcycle platform, the 1998 Ural Solo features a 650 cc (39.7 cu in) air-cooled two cylinder boxer, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 32 HP (23.4 kW) at 5,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 47 Nm (34.7 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 49.2 HP per liter and a 400 rpm working window between peak torque (4,800 rpm) and peak power (5,200 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Solo measures 225 kg (496 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
