Russian company “Russkaya Mekhanika” from Rybinsk has showcased a prototype of a six-wheeled version of the RM800 ATV. Torque in the new machine is transmitted to all six wheels. Previously, the company used a different design: a cargo platform could be attached to a regular production ATV, but the rear axle of the additional cart had no drive of its own. The new design is intended to provide higher off-road capability and maneuverability.
The six-wheeled machine is based on the RM800 ATV, the most powerful model in the “Russkaya Mekhanika” lineup, equipped with a 60 hp engine. The front cargo rack is designed to carry up to 50 kg, while the rear one can handle up to 350 kg. With the provided tie-down system, the total payload capacity can reach 400 kg. The new version is aimed not only at traversing challenging off-road terrain, but also at transporting substantial amounts of cargo. The company is also considering installing a more powerful one-liter engine on the six-wheeled platform.
“Russkaya Mekhanika” expects to launch mass production of the six-wheeled version in December 2026. The estimated price of the new vehicle at the time of publication is around 1.6 million rubles. The Rybinsk-based company has been producing “Buran” snowmobiles for about 55 years, and ATVs and other powersports vehicles since 2010. The new six-wheeled model will be a further evolution of this direction and should maintain the ability to use the vehicle as a utility all-terrain vehicle.
The “Poyekhali-2026”, “Vezdekhoder-2026”, “Motozima-2026”, and “Moscow Autoshow-2026” exhibitions are taking place at the Patriot Expo Exhibition Center from November 13 to 15. Motoram.ru is the media partner of the events.
