The beginning of spring was marked by a major exhibition of motorcycles, which was held with great success under the auspices of Motorsport Expo in the capital’s Expocentre on Krasnaya Presnya. The correspondent of the AvtoVzglyad portal also visited this exciting event.

The organizers position Motorsport Expo itself as an exhibition of the racing industry with a demonstration of fireballs, sports cars and other motorcycles, on which the conquerors of sports circuits set world and national records.

However, in reality, all this action turned out to be even bigger and more interesting. The fact is that the Motorsport Expo exhibits include several other well-known projects in our country. These are primarily Motovesna, a motorcycle show popular with motorcyclists for outdoor activities and travel, as well as the Russian electric transport exhibition EDrive and the Velokult exhibition of individual wheeled vehicles.

Parade of winners

It is not surprising that such a variety of exhibits and equipment on display has not left indifferent even sophisticated fans of motorcycling and motorcycling. Moreover, there was really something to see here. Suffice it to say that Muscovites and guests of the capital, as they say, could see with their own eyes many winners of the extreme races “Baikal Mile”. Among them were even such “heavyweight” exhibits as a car from KAMAZ-Master, as well as prize-winning cars that took part in Lake Baikal from the GAZ Reid Sport team.

Of these, we particularly note the sporty Gazelle NN’ with a 200 hp diesel engine, which performed in the light commercial vehicle category (category GDM-LCV). The second car is a multiple winner of many international races, the powerful medium-duty Sadko NEXT, exhibited in the LDTV category.

Another interesting example of GAZ Reid Sport, which has always attracted the attention of visitors, is the new Valdai cabover. Its sports version, composed entirely of series units, has repeatedly won numerous drag races on Lake Baikal.

Electric cars are coming!

Among the other celebrities of the “Baikal Mile” shown at the exhibition, it is worth highlighting the LAV 30/500 “Sarma” electric sports car. It was designed by Irkutsk engineers in collaboration with a number of Russian industrial enterprises. The testers then managed to set a speed record of almost 140 km/h when driving away.

In addition to pure sports cars, electric cars for the public road were also on display, as part of the EDriv partial exhibition. For example, the Leapmotor C01 executive sedan with an electric motor with a capacity of almost 550 “horses” aroused noticeable public interest. With this, the car accelerates to hundreds in 3.7 seconds. Impressive!

However, another more practical electric car, the minibus of the Roewe iMAX8 EV family from the Chinese SAIC, attracted much more attention from car owners. The interior of the car is exquisitely decorated: there is leather and electric sliding doors, and a panoramic sunroof, and separate seats in the back row, and a chic “screen adjustment” of the control panel. The minivan is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 90 kWh, the capacity of which is sufficient for 550 km of driving. The maximum speed is 180 km/h.

Off-road is no obstacle

This season, the exhibits related to the Motovesna exhibition turned out to be very versatile in composition, where they showed high-speed bicycles of various calibers, low-speed scooters, snowmobiles and even small off-road vehicles.

For example, among the new products in this category, we will certainly mention the product of the Arkhangelsk craftsmen who created the Pomor X6 all-terrain vehicle on wheels and tracks. Such a device with a chain drive on wheels easily walks through swamps, fields and forests, and at any time of the year. The power of the gasoline engine is from 15 to 20 liters. Of. depending on the configuration

The domestic all-terrain vehicle Enwix on wheels also enjoyed the constant attention of visitors. This superquadric, created by engineers from Nizhny Novgorod, is a universal device. That’s not surprising: It can be used successfully as a buggy, a snow swamp vehicle, an amphibian, a tractor, a UTV and even a camper when you head out into the countryside. . The power reserve of the quadro giant with a carrying capacity of up to 1000 kg is 500 km, the ground speed reaches 80 km/h. Not bad!

Handy bells and whistles

A significant portion of the Motorsport Expo-2023 exhibits consisted of stands dedicated to car and motorcycle accessories, motorsport symbols, gear and equipment, as well as various consumables and maintenance chemicals.

Traditionally, manufacturers of lubricants are exhibited at exhibitions of this level, without which the normal operation of any vehicle, be it a bicycle, scooter, quad, car or motorcycle, is unthinkable. Moreover, there were also many remarkable pieces to be found in this segment.

For example, on the stand of one of the dealers of Russian autochemical goods Ruseff, we found semi-synthetic motor oils of category 2T and 4T, designed respectively for two- and four-stroke lawnmower engines. It turned out that the presence of these samples at the transport exchange is quite natural, since both products are universally applicable. Their specifications allow these oils to be successfully used in many scooters, ATVs or mopeds equipped with air-cooled engines.

So, according to the reviews of motorcycle owners, Ruseff’s 4T series motor oil performed very well when working on some “small capacity” Honda models. However, which is not surprising, since in terms of properties this lubricant is not only not inferior, but often surpasses individual imported analogues.

Manufacturers themselves note such an important quality as high thermal stability of operating parameters. Which is very important from the point of view of long-term use of the engine, especially in the extreme climatic conditions of our country.
