2022 Ural: Far Exceeding Standards. Introducing the brand new 2022 Ural Gear Up, built for the world’s toughest roads and river valleys. Climate change regulations have changed the way motorcycle’s are being made and the new 2022 Ural’s are now meet Euro 5 requirements. Cleaner, more emission efficient system has been in works for a long time and they got it done and met the very stringent requirements for exhaust and noise with flying colors. 2022 is the cleanest ICE Ural ever built!
Also URAL were working on the new system, we made a decision to standardize production so that we manufacture bikes in the same configuration for all our world markets including North America. Certification process is nearing the completion for US, and Ural are excited to report that the emission numbers far exceed the current US standards.
Other changes and improvements on 2022 models came as the result of the feedback from Ural customers, such as new and improved rear brakes and especially the central stand design. They also made standard certain adventure-ready features that were previously optional – the two-into-one high pipe exhaust and Heidenau K37 tires.
You might notice a distinctive logo badge on the steering head nut of the 2022 model that is featured in the videos and photos. This October is Ural Factory’s 80th anniversary! We are marking each 2022 model with commemorative 80th anniversary badge.
The first shipments of 2022’s are hitting US shores in September.
