Dear Friends,

We’re happy to share an important milestone in the Ural Neo journey: the engineering development phase of the Ural Neo 500 is complete, and the final technical specification is now confirmed. This marks the end of a year-long process of the refining the original platform. As Vasilii Khozerov, lead engineer on the Ural Neo project, put it after the last test session, “Everything I rode before was still Yingang’s SUV500. Now, for the first time, I rode the Ural Neo 500. And I really like it”.

What Changed

Many of you have been asking what we actually changed compared to the original platform. The short answer is: a lot. Below is an overview of the key areas we focused on. All of these changes are aimed at improving drivability and delivering predictable behavior across a wide range of riding conditions, while ensuring compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

• Revised sidecar and rear lighting

• Improved wire harness

• Updated instrument panel

Technical specifications

We’ve published the full technical specifications below. They’ll give you a clear picture of what the Ural Neo 500 is on paper, but we’ll say this upfront: specs never tell the whole story. The Ural Neo 500 is meant to be experienced. Its balance, steering character, and the way the rig feels at speed are things you only truly understand once you ride it. That’s why demo rides are such a big part of what comes next.
