Cool trail bike!

I saw this and thought about the Rokon.
If this ever hits the market for a decent price, I'll own one.

Very light for what it is!

i was born and raised in russia. it is a cool bike,but i have huge doubts that they can produce anything(besides AK(which was sitting on losses(factory) as we speak)) of a decent quality. the production base was destroyed long time ago. i believe they have closed ural factory two years ago or so. last ones they are literally assembling in some place that looks worse than my garage.

Looks like a Honda Big Wheel to me.

It looks like a Russian copy of a Rokon. The Rokons are very neat bikes. I have rebuilt two of them and attended the national "Rokon Romp" in WV a few times. Any other Rokon drivers out there?

Looks like a Yamaha TW200 on steroids. I thought at first it had electric motors inside the wheels but it's a chain drive like the Rokon. Very cool. I'll bet it's lighter that the TW.

I did a search for "russian rokon" and came up with these links:
