The Kayur machine produced by a domestic manufacturer is a snowmobile, first produced without regard to foreign analogues. It is “tailored” quite well, despite the clear principle “simplicity is the key to reliability”.
Snowmobile Cayur: design features
The engine of the snowmobile "Kayur" is the power unit GX-390 from Honda, which has established itself as one of the best engines used for power equipment. In addition to a fairly powerful engine, the snowmobile is also equipped with a hydraulic disc brake, a CVT and hydraulics pendants, and the shock absorbers very much resemble those of Izhevsk. There is no reverse gear, however, this, so to speak, disadvantage is fully compensated by the small dimensions of the machine itself and the low weight.
An obvious minus is the lack of any fuel gauge, which greatly complicates the process of filling and tracking the tank. Also, the snowmobile does not have a hour meter and odometer, despite the fact that for all these devices there are castings on the vehicle body. The only way out is to carry a five-liter canister with fuel. You can place it in the seatpost, since there is enough space there.
Controllability
Snowmobile "Kayur", reviews of the owners of which confirm this fact, is very convenient to drive. It is also worth noting that sitting on it is pleasant and comfortable: the legs are bent almost at a right angle, so they do not leak, and you can even stand up if necessary - you do not even need to bend.
At first glance, it seems that the steering wheel of the snowmobile is small, but during the ride all fears dissipate - it’s quite convenient to operate the machine. Lightweight transport does not fail even on the friest snow due to the large footprint of the tracks and skis.
disadvantages
"Kayur" - a snowmobile, which, unfortunately, is not intended for driving alone with a passenger. Adults in warm clothes on a short saddle will not sit down. Of course, you can ride, but this will have to be done in cramped conditions. This drawback relates not so much to ride comfort as to the handling of the vehicle as a whole. A compact and lightweight machine requires active operation of the hull while moving, and even with one rider is prone to tipping over, let alone two people - even the Kayur snowmobiles cannot stand it. Reviews of hunters confirm this - the tool, unfortunately, is designed for only one driver.
The second minus is the engine power. “Kayur” is a snowmobile, which can be accelerated to 50 km / h on the trampled snow cover, but the machine is unlikely to go faster than 25-35 km / h on loose virgin snow. The situation with the passenger is very sad: the speed does not exceed the usual pedestrian. The motor limiter cuts off more than half the power of the power unit, significantly reducing the speed range.
Snowmobile "Cayur": photos and advantages
However, despite two rather significant disadvantages, it is worth remembering that the “Kayur” is a snowmobile that looks more like a scooter for winter travel than a full-fledged tourist transport. It causes similar associations among many owners. Snowmobile "Cayur", reviews of which confirm this, in many respects resembles precisely a scooter - in terms of dynamics, weight, dimensions and ease of control.
It’s very easy to steer a practically weightless machine; the process itself does not require any effort from the pilot. Even on bare ice, the device does not turn into uncontrollable and perfectly obeys the driver. After a couple of minutes, the car’s tendency to “ears” ceases to be such a minus and turns into a real pleasure. A snowmobile can only ride on one ski, lifting the second up, not only along the curve, but also in a straight line for unlimited time. The only thing you should pay attention to is that the caterpillar can jump off due to poor tension. So before committing such tricks, you should check the wheelbase.
Traffic and suspension capabilities
“Cayur” is a snowmobile, more reminiscent of a “toy” than a full-fledged tourist transport, respectively, you should not expect something unimaginable from it. Despite this, you can make him jump. If necessary, the snowmobile can well withstand the jump and the subsequent blow from the parapet one meter high, but it is still not designed for this. Even when landing from a height of a couple of tens of centimeters, shock absorbers work before breakdown, which, accordingly, does not benefit either the snowmobile itself or the pilot’s vertebrae.
It is better not to cut through unfamiliar areas on the Kayur - its pendants, unfortunately, have practically no reserve of energy intensity.
Snowmobile "Kayur": technical characteristics and parameters
The economical and compact Itlan-Kayur is the first domestic snowmobile created, as mentioned above, without using foreign experience. In this development, manufacturers focused on operational features in the conditions of Russian roads and took as a basis the experience and feedback of hunters, fishers and racers. The resulting machine is small in size and light in weight, which positively affects its maneuverability. A huge advantage of the snowmobile is the ability to transport it on a regular car trailer, which its foreign counterparts do not have.
The four-stroke engine, which is equipped with transport, provides it with a sufficient level of patency, allowing you to ride not only on trampled paths, but also on a deep, loose surface. The power unit is the Japanese Honda GX390, which meets Euro 2 standards and has a capacity of 13 horsepower with a torque of 3600 rpm. The engine itself is considered “indestructible” - only one guarantee is given for 1,500 hours, which is very, very good for such a machine. And with proper handling and use of high-quality motor oil, its working life can be truly endless.
Caterpillars mounted on the "Cayur" are of standard "Buran" sizes, however, they have separate brackets for rail suspension. They are made by ZAO Composite. The products of this manufacturer have been repeatedly tested on similar snowmobiles such as "Buran" and "Taiga". Goods differ in reasonable cost and are delivered in a short time. The dry weight of the machine is small - about 120 kg. It was possible to achieve such a mass thanks to the use of a special welded-type frame produced using a laser sheet cutter and program benders.
These are very good technical specifications. The handling and obedience of the snowmobile makes it an indispensable vehicle for hunters and fishers.
The cost of the snowmobile "Cayur"
This transport belongs to the lower price segment. The cost of "Cayur" depends on the configuration and optionality and averages 160-163 thousand rubles. A snowmobile can cost a little cheaper if it will have a KAYUR-420 engine installed, and not a standard one from Honda. Of course, he is far from full-fledged units, but if you need a small machine for fast and comfortable movement, then “Cayur” is an ideal option in terms of price-quality ratio.
Summary
Summarizing all of the above, we can say that the Kayur snowmobile is a very good transport offered by the domestic market. It is ideal for those who can not afford the acquisition and maintenance of a full-fledged device.
Of course, he also has its drawbacks - insufficient power, inability to transport luggage or a passenger. Despite this, “Kayur” has small dimensions and weight, takes up little space in the garage, is unpretentious in maintenance and is equipped with a good power unit, distinguished by reliability and simplicity. The snowmobile is ideal for those who do not want to overpay for fame and brand, but at the same time want to get a quality car.
