Izh

Izh motorcycles, hailing from Izhevsk, Russia, represent a long history of motorcycle production with a focus on simplicity and affordability. The brand produced a wide variety of motorcycles, ranging from smaller-displacement models for everyday use to heavier models suitable for various tasks. Known for their ruggedness and durability, Izh motorcycles were often preferred in regions with challenging road conditions. However, the brand struggled to compete with more technologically advanced motorcycles from Western manufacturers, leading to periods of decline and restructuring. Though their production numbers have fluctuated, Izh continues to hold a place in Russian automotive history and represents a significant chapter in the country’s motorcycle manufacturing legacy. Today, the brand's output and market presence are considerably smaller than in its heyday.
