Today we’ve got for the review a couple of the newest tracked ATV which is called Dobrinya
and now we are going to make the toughest tests for them, lets go!
Hi guys, as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
If you have been watching our channel for some time you may have noticed that about a year ago
we already made a video about Dobrinya ATV. And that material turned out to be quite popular!
That is why today we are going to show you the newest version
of these ATV. And they differ greatly from the previous models. We’ll review all the
new stuff and then we’ll have an exiting trip with the toughest tests on our way.
Firstly lets look at the models that are available now. This atv is Dobrinya Mini. It is the cheapest
ATV with front mounted engine and rear drive. Dobrinya Safari. We see here rear mounted engine
and spacious boxes along the sides of the frame. Dobrinya Transporter, the newest model that can
be used with some additional rigs. By the way all the prices we’ll discuss at the end of the video.
But most of all we are interested today in these models. Its fully equipped new
Transporter and another newest model which is called Dobrinya Bulat.
These atvs will go through the numerous tests today. But first of all lets review
these two models in detail. And I’d like to begin with the exterior. I think new design
is more attractive. It even sometimes attracts attention of some weird persons like this one.
This ATV is considered as light vehicle with front mounted engine. The length is 2.8 meters,
the width is 1.8 m, the weight is 750 kilos. Lets look what we have under the hood.
The engine is 2 cylinders 29 hp, it works with cvt transmission together with mechanical gearbox.
There are no any chains in the drivetrain, only a driveshaft.
The width of the track is 400 mm. These metal parts are both lugs and they keep the track
on the wheels. This is a roller stretcher to adjust the tracks tension. Besides it sets the
front angle of the tracks. And this is cutoff plate that allows to move faster on water.
There is an antiroll cage and tent. It is easy and quickly to unfold it.
The dashboard is simple and practical. There are main gauges with lights. But the most interesting
are these new seats with suspension. We may see how it works now. The seats can be adjusted.
There is a fan on the hood. It can heat the cabin when there is a cold weather.
Lets get it started.
There is an electric starter. But also there is a manual starter directly from the cabin.
And another machine that will take part in our tests today. Dobrinya Transporter. The engine
is mounted in the middle of the body here. The length is 2.8 meters, the width is 1.8 and the
weight is 700 kilos. Again we see here a roller –stratcher. Unlike the previous model there is a
front door. It is quite comfortable to get in and get out. And when it is closed it is waterproof.
The engine divides the cabin into two parts. There is two cylinders engine 24 hp.
And the whole transmission is the same like on the previous model. Due to the engine position
the vehicle is perfectly balanced and it provides better offroading capabilities.
The front seats are also the same. At the rear there are two benches for passengers.
And again lets get is started!
Well guys first of all I would like to make my personnel test drive to get my impressions of
the machines. Wait
a second….ok, that will do, lets go!
As we’ve seen these atvs doesn’t have any suspension system. That is why it is quite
tough to drive them in cross country. And they would have been sooo uncomfortable,
but for one thing. The seats with the suspension definitely do lot of good here.
They really work! I wouldn’t say the atv becomes very comfortable,
but it is not a torture to ride on them on a rough ground. But the main advantage of
this vehicle is certainly not a comfort. You’ll see it soon, lets move to the first our test!
And speaking about our route today. We tried to prepare all kind of obstacles to test the
atvs in the all possible conditions. And first of all rough ground. You
can’t see it well but the terrain here is really rough it’s a serious obstacle.
Lets see how the vehicle goes through it.
Well the tracks do their job, don’t they? Besides we remember the huge metal lugs
mounted on the tracks. So the traction is the really perfect. And due the the
front roller stretcher, it is much easier to climb the steepest hills.
The next test is the decent swamp! There is lot of grass on it, and no open water, so there is
some traction due to the grass. And the vehicle moves forward without Any hesitation. By the way
while we are overcoming the swamp, I’d like to mention that these ATVs are serial production.
But actually the construction is the simplest and it is quite simple to build a homemade
machine based on the design of this atv. You just need some tools to weld the body,
a couple of old axles with differential, wheels and belt to make the tracks. Few
other parts and the atv is ready! Or you may buy a ready made one, it is up to you!
Then we found a huge old stump and we decided to overcome it!
The first try was a failure lets make an another attempt!
Nice, lets move on!
This time we found more serious swamp, but the most interesting it already had been frozen.
I don’t think the ice is thick enough to sustain the vehicle but lets try.
An effective start isn’t it? But then we got stuck in the ice trap. The atv rests against the ice,
but it can’t proceed moving cause there is no traction. But then the tracks with
metal lugs make the way through the ice, and the atv escapes from the trap slow and sure.
By the way many people ask why the cvt transmission is used here together with
manual gearbox. The matter is that the gearbox performs here as a transfer case, it provides low
ranges for the toughest conditions. But in the good road, the maximum speed is decent 60 km/h.
The front roller is a great help when climbing from water on a ground.
It provides a better cOntact and together with metal lugs it is easier to leave water
for ground. Meantime our transporter also moves across the lake without a hitch.
But when we were trying to overcome this huge fallen tree we got a problem.
Nice try!
But then we backed up and were ready to proceed our trip.
This time we have an open water here, lets try how our vehicles can float.
As we can see due to the cutoff plates above the tracks the atv can move on water. Not
very rapidly but it moves. Certainly you can’t move against the stream,
but you will be able to cross a lake or any other pond with still water.
Well it floats without a problem. But what if we take on board the atv
maximum its loading capacity – six people! The total weight in this way is about half a ton.
And it is definitely a dangerous test, so don’t repeat it with your atv.
Anyway we got through it and we managed to get back to the ground without help.
Its almost dark outside and its high time for a crash test.
While the atv is trying to find out how durable its body is
lets speak about the prices. The cheapest model of atv Dobrinya costs about 3000 dollars.
ATV Dobrinya transporter costs 4000 dollars. And Dobrinya Bulat costs 5300 dollars.
Well guys lets call it a day. Thanks for watching, please consider subscribing the channel if you
