The BEST off-road bike money can buy - if you live in Russia

TWO-WHEEL drive motorcycles are a concept that have been touched upon by a number of manufacturers over the years, but they've never really been made available for public purchase. Well, untill the Taurus 2x2 stepped on the scene.

This off-road Russian beast - designed by Motovezedhody - combines a 2x2 system with 12-inch wide, 25-in in diameter fat tires, allowing the bike to tackle even the most difficult of surfaces. With it's lightweight design varying from 47 to 74 kilograms, this Russki off-road ride can be carried through any terrain that it can't handle - not that there are many - as well as being simply dismantled in just five minutes as shown in the video below.

The vehicle is available for around 75,000 Russian rubles, which is currently just over £1,000. However, the firm is not currently shipping orders internationally, but they intend on making this an option in the future.

Take a look at the mighty Taurus in action.
