Today Irbitsky motozavod - a modern enterprise which produces 9 models motorcycle brand «Ural», unpopular in many countries around the world, which will be presented at the exhibition «MOTOBIKE SALON 2007».

To this end, several forces have attracted businesses, and a Moscow motorcycle factory. But in 1941 the Second World, and the plant was evacuated to Sverdlovsk region, Irbit.
Already in 1942, despite the difficult working conditions (IMZ is located in the brewery and the electricity produced the first machine based on the engine of a motorcycle «Ural»), IMZ began production of motorcycles for the front. These were heavy motorcycle with a sidecar M-72, which played no role in the last great victory.
And after the war irbitskie motorcycles were demanded: first, they were used only for the army, but then they will go on sale to the civilian population. And since 1953, motorcycles «Ural» started to sell on the export (now on export contracts sold up to 90% of all products IMZ).
At the motorcycle show in 1999, was a new single model - «Ural» - «Wolf», this chopper factory. But tricycle now remains a priority product Irbitskogo motorcycle factory.
