Part One: Basic Prices Explained
We have been receiving quite a bit of inquires about the differences in models and pricing for new Urals. Perhaps it has become a little tricky with the growing number of custom options we now offer. Let us clarify and simplify a bit. We hope this will help answer some of the questions. You can also always drop us a line at sidecarsmakeyouhappy@ural.com.
Be safe and healthy. Go for a ride if you can!
The Team at Ural
The principle difference between the two is cT is 1WD and Gear Up is 2WD. Think of it as Gear Up is your AWD Subaru Forester and cT is the Subaru Impreza – lower to the ground, sportier. We are the only motorcycle company that compares its motorcycles to cars. On the official company blog. Because why not? :)
You can compare the technical specifications for cT and Gear Up by clicking the button below.
We will write up a more in-depth comparison of cT vs Gear Up performance and handling in another post.

Price:
MSRP – is Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. MSRP excludes tax, license, registration, delivery, set-up, and dealer-installed options. Dealer prices may vary.
Shipping - there is a flat shipping fee, sometimes also called destination fee. All dealers have to pay this fee because we have to deliver bikes from the warehouse in New Jersey to each individual dealership. This fee is $695. Dealers can’t will call bikes from the warehouse, everyone, including NJ dealers have to pay $695 USD. Alaska and Hawaii dealers have to pay more. The same rule and cost applies in Canada - flat $695 CAD fee from port to dealers (certain remote locations have extra destination charge check with your local dealer). If you get your dealer to discount this fee – know that it comes out of their pocket.
CARB Fee – there is $300 charge for extra equipment for motorcycles registered in California. This is to satisfy the State’s environmental requirements.
Assembly (or sometimes called “Set Up”) charge - Ural comes in a crate with the sidecar detached to save space. Dealers receive these crates and must perform assembly and set up according to a specific check list. On average set up takes 6.5 hours. Usually it’s about a full day for a dealer to set up a Ural. Dealerships pay their mechanics to assemble bikes. This cost usually gets passed onto customers.
Other - there are taxes, registration, sometimes document and other dealer and state/province related fees. Each dealership and state/province are different. Please check with your local dealer.
Summary:
MSRP + Shipping + Assembly + Taxes + registration, document or any other fees which are dealer and state/province specific.
For California only - add CARB Fee.
That’s about it. In the next post (Part Two) we will talk about Special Editions, Packages and Customization.
