Not Just One, These Are Different Types Of Trail Bikes

It turns out, there is not only one model of a dirt bike or what is also commonly called a dirt bike, but there are many kinds. Each model has its own characteristics.
It turns out, there is not only one model of a dirt bike or what is also commonly called a dirt bike, but there are many kinds. Each model has its own characteristics.
Reporting from Reddit.com, here are some types of dirt bikes:
1. Pure trail
Actually, the Kawasaki KLX and Honda CRF circulating in Indonesia are not classified as pure trail bikes. The reason is, both have various standard road equipment, such as headlamps, number plate holders, and turn signals.
In fact, the Kawasaki KX series does not have all of that. In fact, some pure trail bikes are not equipped with a key, but that doesn’t mean it’s keyless.
Usually, pure dirt bikes have engines with abundant torque. However, the maximum speed is lower than motorsport with the same engine capacity.
2. Trail street-legal
Kawasaki KLX and Honda CRF and Viar Cross-X are actually in the street-legal segment because they are equipped with various mandatory components for motorbikes circulating on the highway.
However, some parts are still the same as a pure dirt bike, such as the suspension and the front-rear gear ratio. In addition, the design is also not much different.
The engine on a street-legal trail bike or it can also be called a light trail. Therefore, the kitchen spur is made not as sharp as a pure trail, adjusting to the needs of the highway.
3. Adventure Touring
This concept combines touring with trail bikes. The reason is, some people like to drive far without paying attention to terrain conditions.
So, the advantages are almost the same as the light trail, it can be used on asphalt and off-road roads or sand and stone. Therefore, this type is also often called a dual-sport motorcycle.
In appearance, the adventure touring motorcycle looks much bigger and more powerful than the pure trail or light trail. Some examples of dual-sport motorcycles are the BMW R1200 GS, KTM 990 Baja, and Ducati Multistrada.
4. Supermoto
The super motor concept was born from a dirt bike mated to a sportbike. Because it has a tall posture, then its weight is lighter than a sportbike.
In addition, the traction and suspension is better than a typical dirtbike. However, the engine that is carried is not as good as a sport-fairing motorbike.
Some of the supermoto motors circulating in the market are the Yamaha XT660X, Ducati Hypermotard, and Aprilia Dorsoduro.
5. Scrambler
The scrambler motorbike is identical to the retro aura because of its rounded appearance, both on the tank, lights, and side body covers.
Actually, this concept is a combination of a city bike front tank with a dirt bike. Because of this, the appearance tends to be standard but has some trail bike components, such as under-seat exhaust and hoe tires.
Currently, there are still many motorbikes circulating that have been born scramblers without modification, such as the Triumph Scrambler, BMW R ninT Scrambler, and Ducati Scrambler.

Jason Thomas Recaps Key Takeaways from 2023 Fox Raceway Motocross Opener

The 2023 AMA Pro Motocross Championship kicked off over the weekend and there’s plenty to talk about, including Jett Lawrence’s dazzling 450 debut, RJ Hampshire’s wild day, Hunter Lawrence’s win, and more. To get an inside look at the action we tapped former pro Jason Thomas to break down the first race of the season.
What was your initial take on the 250 Class, in terms of who impressed?
Jason Thomas: I believe it delivered as advertised. We knew it would be a deep class with a great chance for parity all the way to the top. I thought RJ Hampshire’s first moto was a great sign of what he is capable of. The second moto was unfortunately a warning sign that the variance is still present. He is fast enough to win this championship but the crashes have to be minimized. Not only are they too damaging to his points each weekend but crashing leads to injuries, and that’s simply a numbers game. Crash enough and you’ll eventually find yourself on the sidelines.
Hunter Lawrence came in as my personal pick to win the title and he didn’t disappoint. His 3-1 score was more of the same after the best supercross season of his career. He looks like he’s in the zone right now and truly believes he’s the best guy.
The other rider I wanted to mention was Haiden Deegan. This is his third AMA Pro Motocross race and he looked like a veteran. He overcame a crash in the first moto but his third in the second moto is proof he isn’t just a supercross specialist. He seems to have the total package: fitness, speed, equipment, and a gigantic social presence. The sky is the limit for that kid.
Guys were crashing all over the place. Name someone who avoided the mayhem and killed it out there who we might not have noticed on the broadcast.
Guillem Farres turned in an 8-5 score and didn’t get the credit he deserves. With the storylines unfolding and constant change within the top ten, it was difficult to focus on every quality performance turned in. Farres wowed all of us at Budds Creek last year but that was no fluke. A relative unknown from Spain who got his shot on a factory bike is making the most of it. Kudos.
