Bicycles "Tourist" are a series of Soviet road-tourist and sports-tourist bicycles produced by the Kharkov Bicycle Plant (HVZ).

It has a lightweight design, narrow tires, a 4-speed gear change mechanism (driven sprockets were switched), manual front and rear brakes as standard.

The tube construction of the tires made it resistant to damage when used on rough terrain and on poor-quality road surfaces.
