Off-road motorcycles are not enduro, but two-wheeled all-terrain vehicles

Off-road motorcycles are enduro and motocross models. But there are other, specific tales. To make them passable and at the same time budget-friendly, manufacturers resorted to a trick. They changed the design, but the main feature is the wide tires. There were similar models even in the USSR. For example, “Tula” is a Soviet off-road motorcycle. The Tula Machine-Building Plant had previously produced motor scooters. They were supposed to become popular urban transport, but did not take root in big cities. They were bought more in the countryside, where the main problem was insufficient cross-country ability. Therefore, having released the first motorcycle, the Tula Machine-Building Plant created an SUV for hunters and fishermen. The model also received such innovations as an electric starter and forced air cooling. And this is with a two-stroke engine.


There are simple motorcycles with large off-road tires from foreign manufacturers. For example, the most popular Japanese bike in this category is the Suzuki VanVan 200. At least in Russia. Yamaha also has a similar bike - TW200. And in the USA they produce Rokon - a two-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, often with all-wheel drive.
