2014 Limited Edition Ural MIR
In 2012 Siberian sidecar specialists, Ural, launched its nuclear ice breaker inspired Yamal model. For 2014 Ural has introduced its limited edition model, the Ural MIR – an homage to the 20th anniversary of the joint Russian-American space program Shuttle-Mir.
Each MIR is painted Orbital White and is coated in a blue pearl clear. The bikes are outfitted with a solar panel to serve as a battery tender and accessory power source, and dual high-intensity LED lights mounted on the sidecar. The panel can be swapped for the included sidecar nose luggage rack, if extra storage is more desirable than sunlight trickle charging.
Twenty MIRs will be constructed for $16,999 a piece and will be available in November.
