Those who are said to be dead live longer. What was not heralded in the decline of the air-cooled western world before Euro 4, and with the coming Euro 5, many people were already ticking off individual models, if not entire manufacturers. Ural is likely to be one of these manufacturers.

And again teaches us a better one. The Urals importer for Switzerland recently announced that there will probably be no Euro 5 models on the European market for the time being. Development would have stopped. Now the news is haunted that the Russians would have managed to get the 750 boxer over the new norm hurdle after all, and much earlier than expected.

Old, new engine

In the same breath it should not go unmentioned that the engine is by no means, as it is often romantically transfigured, the old World War II engine. The old 650 was replaced late in 2003 by a more modern boxer with 745 cc, which has also had an injection system since Euro 4. Technically, the drive is not the very latest, but with a robust 40 HP from two large individual cubic capacities, the jump to Euro 5 is not the furthest. The measures for this are the same as those of other manufacturers. The known displacement remains, the piston for Euro 5 consists of a new alloy of aluminum-silicon and is supposed to increase the compression by 20 percent. That would drive the compression to 10.3: 1. But more power does not come out of it, since the completely new exhaust system comes with four catalytic converters and valve control, which increases the exhaust back pressure and costs performance, so it is important to maintain the previous power. In case of Ural with up to now 30 kW or 40 HP an essential factor: The loss of torque with sidecars or off-road use is undesirable.

Ural

The new exhaust system of the Urals with Euro 5: More cats, a silencer that is always raised and a flap-valve system for faster heating of the four catalysts.

Should the Euro-5-Urals come in 2021, then the current product portfolio with a total of six different trailer models should remain. Whether the prices for the sidecars can be kept at a good 15,000 euros is just as questionable as the delivery dates for the new model year. By the way: The 2021 models will not have ABS either, because teams do not need it.

Conclusion

Euro 5 bugbear? Only on paper or when manufacturers specifically want to make models disappear. With a manufacturer like Ural, who actually only has one model when viewed in the light, driving out the ghost is vital. So it’s all the more great that it seems to have succeeded. It is uncertain when the first models will arrive at the importer in Linz and subsequently at the dealers.
