Voskhod (Russian: Восхо́д, lit. 'Sunrise') is the name of several types of motorcycles produced at the Degtyaryov Plant in the Russian town of Kovrov since 1965.
All Voskhod motorcycles had a single-cylinder two-stroke engine with a displacement of 175 cm3.
Between 1973 and 1979 Voskhod was one of the makes marketed by SATRA in the United Kingdom as Cossack motorcycles. [1]
The Voskhod was introduced in 1957. For many this was a luxury model of the Minsk (125cc) K-55.[clarification needed] In 1964 the Voskhod was made in a racing version.
