Chinese ATVsATVs "IRBIS" (Irbis)
Modern ATVs have become quite firmly established in the everyday life of the average person as a universal “workhorse”.
However, in Russia they are more often used for outdoor activities, fishing trips or extreme sports.
An excellent example of an all-terrain vehicle that can handle all the listed tasks is the Chinese model IRBIS 250.
Design solutions
The two-seater rear-wheel drive Irbis 250 ATV can be used on any terrain at any time of the year , which fully corresponds to the name chosen by the manufacturer - the name of the snow leopard.
Externally, an ATV from China looks impressive, solid and aggressive .
The sporty design of the body is emphasized by the angularity of the plastic parts, as well as the powerful headlight, which allows you to get around even at night or in thick fog.
The bright colors of the model (blue, green, red and black with white trim) also hint at the aggressive nature of this “cat”.
The double seat of the ATV provides the driver and passenger with the greatest possible comfort, and protective pads on the steering wheel help protect against hand injuries.
Steel elements with anti-corrosion coating and frost-resistant plastic of the all-terrain vehicle panels are perfectly adapted for use in adverse conditions, which guarantees their long service life in any operating mode.
Peculiarities
When characterizing typical IRBIS ATVs, it should immediately be noted that they are made in China. But these are bright representatives of its new industrial appearance, which harmoniously combines decent practical indicators and a relatively soft price. The long-term (over 20 years) experience of work also speaks in favor of the brand. Over the past years, the company has brought to the market dozens of models for various age segments.
Irbis is equipped with quite adequate technical “stuffing”. There are electric starters, hydraulic brakes, and shock absorbers with optimal adjustment. Cooling in different models is performed by a liquid or air system. The equipment, from a consumer point of view, is also quite decent. Irbis equipment weighs little and is relatively inexpensive.
Driving ATVs of this brand is easy. Judging by the reviews, they are completely worth their price. The likelihood of a breakdown is low; it is almost always associated with oversights by the owners. For example, with a vehicle overload; “You can safely drive on both asphalt and clean ground.”
Comfort and handling
The all-terrain vehicle is monitored through an electronic instrument panel, which reflects the main operating parameters of the on-board systems and mechanisms, and to prevent theft, the manufacturer has installed a standard alarm system.
Excellent handling of the IRBIS 250 model is ensured by a comfortable steering wheel , an improved suspension designed to withstand significant loads, powerful steering joints, as well as a foot brake pedal , which allows you to instantly respond to an unexpected barrier or obstacle.
Among other things, many owners may like the presence of a cigarette lighter socket , from which you can “power” various gadgets, not to mention its intended purpose.
The chassis provides for the installation of off-road tires of size 21×7.00-10 and 20×10.00-9 at the front and rear, respectively.
Such rubber allows you to move on any type of soil and not get stuck in mud or sand.
The Kawasaki Brute Force 750 ATV is very pleasant to ride on a dirt road or even just through the forest.

Reviews
- The ATV was purchased for extreme driving. The model is quite worthy of attention, since it has quite good performance indicators. I liked the acceleration and softness of the suspension with high stability at the same time. It absorbs very well when jumping, and most importantly, it can withstand all loads. The engine is very pleasing, both with its power and fuel consumption. I also have a 200 cc model from this manufacturer, but I use that for small work, and I use the Irbis ATV 250 for entertainment and getting a lot of emotions from high-speed maneuvers, because I simply cannot drive it slowly. I haven’t found any shortcomings yet, the technology is really very pleasing, both externally and technically.
- I bought it 2 years ago at a discount. The model is not very suitable for off-roading; all-wheel drive is often not enough, and a lot of dirt flies. The frame is well designed and inspires confidence. The first few days I just got used to the controls, because it seemed that the steering wheel was very sensitive, but then it worked to my advantage. The traction is quite good, it climbs well. The brakes work effectively and do not cause any complaints. In my opinion, this is a very good model for outdoor enthusiasts, which can easily be found at a very attractive price.
