Off-Road Motorcycles
Usually, when you think of motorcycles, you picture them flying down the highway or the interstate. But if you get an adventure motorcycle, you can take it on nearly any terrain you please! Off-road motorcycles are perfect for recreational riding over hard-pack dirt trails and muddy paths. Not sure if they’re the right bike for you? Motorcycle Maxx, located in Lewis Center, Ohio, is happy to share more about off-road motorcycles to help you come to a decision.Choosing The Right Motorcycle
When looking into off-road bikes, you’ll want to make sure that you’re addressing your needs as a rider by getting something with the right features. Most off-road motorcycles are designed to be fast and easy to handle, and their tires can go over a variety of different terrains. However, each model differs in how much of each of these qualities it possesses.A small engine will make your bike lighter, but it may be a little harder to control. Bigger engines will weigh your bike down more, but offer better handling at higher speeds. With dirt bikes, you’re looking at either a two-stroke or a four-stroke engine. Two-strokes are lighter and four-strokes are heavier, so choose your engine accordingly.
You’ll also want to think about what types of terrain you plan to traverse. Many adventure motorcycles are designed to ride over hard-pack dirt paths. Looser materials like sand will require specialized tires and other features to improve traction and control. This means you’ll need to find a bike suited to these surfaces or else locate aftermarket parts to make your bike more capable on slippery terrain.
The Types
You’ll want to be mindful of the differences in types of adventure bike when you’re shopping so that you don’t end up with something that’s either too difficult for you to control or not powerful enough for you.Recreational and trail models are made for the average rider, which means that they’ll have a decent blend of speed and control that isn’t overwhelming.
Motocross bikes are designed for the racing circuit, so more experienced riders may wish to go with this type for its power and speed.
Hybrid styles are capable of going on the highway in addition to other types of terrain, so they’re a good idea if you want to do street riding as well as off-road riding.
