Owner reviews and prices

Nikolay, Nizhnekamsk:

I bought a T150 snowmobile, which delighted me with its high-level ergonomics. The machine is easy to operate. You can sit comfortably, resting your feet on the comfortable footrests. The pluses include the control knobs. The downside is the windshield. It's of no use. It does not cut off the oncoming flow of cold air. I didn't notice any other shortcomings.

The total mileage is more than 1500 km. It pulls loads up to 120 kg well. I'm happy with the car. Its price is affordable for many. A new unit in a store costs only 99-115 thousand rubles.

Marseille, Mozhga:

Dingo T150 differs from the previous model in size and improved technical data. The model has become more convenient. I liked the variator and reverse. The disadvantages include the fact that prolonged skating on ice or packed snow leads to breakage of caterpillar parts. Before driving, it is better to check the presence of fuel in the gas tank and the operation of the brakes. It is also good to inspect the track and tighten it.

Anton, Kuliga village:

I bought a snowmobile, which I just ran for 500 km. At speeds up to 30 km/h. Changed the engine oil after 100 km. I kept the engine speed at 7000. As a result, all the parts got used well, including the variator belt. Now I drive at high speed and with a load.

Review of two Irbis snowmobiles - Irbis DINGO T110 and DINGO T125

1. Dingo T110 was developed by Ural left-handers

from the tank city of Zlatoust.
If our designers are not disturbed, they make the best technology! 2. T110 can be disassembled and reassembled in 5 minutes
without special tools using wing screws (like Soviet Kama bicycles), and
placed in the trunk
of any sedan.
3. The Irbis Dingo T110 is equipped with an exact copy of the proven, unpretentious and reliable
Honda Cub engine.
Spare parts
for which are available
everywhere
.
4. The know-how of Russian designers is a hybrid of skid and roller sprung suspension
, using
a wide track
with two guide skis. Let us remember that the sprung suspension found its main embodiment in the best tank of all time, the T-34. (maybe that’s why the Irbis is designated as T-110?..)

Here we briefly present the main advantages of the Irbis snowmobile that other models do not have.

— Standard equipment with electric starter and 7-amp gel battery! And the main Russian advantage is the snowmobile. — Automatic clutch occurs in an oil bath, which significantly reduces wear of parts. — The presence of reverse gear allows you to turn around in cramped conditions, or “crawl” out of a snowdrift back in your own wake. — A wide track on a hybrid suspension provides improved cross-country ability, greater load capacity (up to 500 kg), strength, smoothness and softness on uneven surfaces and ease on inclines up to 30 degrees. — The caterpillar itself is rubber-fabric cast, reinforced with steel rods and Kevlar fabric, which increases its durability. Such a caterpillar is not afraid of obstacles in the form of hummocks, depressions and branches. — Drive chain from ATVs, with a triple safety margin. — The electronic speedometer tracks not only speed and mileage, but also the time of the next service. — Disc brakes with hydraulic drive. — The 12V cigarette lighter socket allows you to connect a phone charger and a GPS navigator. — 2-seater seat with variable width from 35 to 45 cm. — Ability to transport various loads. A spacious luggage compartment can be mounted under the seat; on the snowmobile platform itself you can transport large items, such as a fishing ice auger, skis, tents and others without additional strapping. As an additional option, there is a car-type tow bar for towing cargo in trailers with connection for rear lights. — You can install a trunk or an additional container with gasoline in the luggage compartment at the back of the snowmobile. Installation of safety arches and special devices is provided. — The snowmobile frame is made of profile pipes in the form of central and side trusses. This prevents ice and snow from accumulating during winter thaw or spring melting, as well as when encountering snow drifts. The "transparency" of the frame improves inspection of the snowmobile. — The ability to adjust the height of the steering wheel and the angle of the longitudinal axis of the skis relative to the steering wheel greatly facilitates control of the snowmobile and increases maneuverability. It also reduces fatigue on long trips. — Full headlight with low and high beam. — The engine compartment of the frame is reinforced with steel strips, which allows the installation of engines of different types weighing no more than 85 kg. — Due to the design speed of more than 40 km/h and the engine of more than 100 cc/cm, IRBIS DINGO requires registration with Gostekhnadzor. Therefore, all necessary documentation and PSM are drawn up upon sale. — The snowmobile is guaranteed for 6 months from the date of sale or for 1000 km.

Excerpt from the operating instructions for the Dingo T150 snowmobile from the Irbis Motors website

History of the brand ?Irbis?

The world market has been familiar with Irbis brand products since the middle of the last century. The company's central production is located in China, in the city of Taizhou. Being Chinese-made products, snowmobiles, ATVs and other types of motor vehicles nevertheless have high quality indicators, which has earned the Irbis brand high popularity in many developed countries.

Despite the good price-quality ratio, wide range and positive development dynamics, motorcycle products of this brand appeared in Russia only at the beginning of the 21st century, when the first batch of scooters, motorcycles and ATVs first passed our country’s customs.

The young brand immediately declared itself on the Russian market, placing the main emphasis on the accessibility of its products to every potential consumer, without losing quality. In the current realities of the economic crisis, this point is of great importance. The company's motto: “Motor equipment accessible to everyone?”, ? reflects not only the company’s policy, but also, as a consequence, the positive attitude of the Russian consumer towards the product. Quality is determined by specialists checking both the whole product and each component separately? Only after the last mechanism has been tested does the item go on sale.

Another point that encourages a potential buyer to choose products of this particular brand is constant feedback from the client. Competent employees are able to quickly solve a problem with any product or provide useful advice.

Now the company is known as Irbis Motors, but at its founding the company was known as Vostokscooter, whose headquarters were located in Vladivostok. As you expand your activities? increase in the number of dealer-distributors and, as a result, an increase in the volume of products sold, the head office of ?Irbis Motors? moved to Moscow in 2005, having at that time representatives throughout the country? from Vladivostok, where it all began, to Kaliningrad.

The word ?Irbis? very accurately reflects the essence of the product. The cat bears the same name, better known as the snow leopard. The analogy can be drawn in several aspects:

• the ergonomics of the products are compared to the gracefulness of the snow leopard;
• the special design of snowmobiles and ATVs allows their owner to overcome any off-road conditions? the leopard also easily penetrates any hard-to-reach places;
• When hunting, a cat is capable of tirelessly making significant marches? increased service life of any motorcycle brand ?Irbis? It also allows you to go on a long trip without fear.

In parallel with the import of Chinese products ?Irbis Motors? It also has its own production facility in Russia, producing similar products. In addition to Irbis motorcycles, the company is actively developing other related brands? Virz (spare parts for motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATVs) and Michiru (motorcycle equipment). [ads-pc-1]
