Your first dirt machine will always be special for you. You will likely remember every single detail of your bike because as a learner you will spend lots of time on it. Although it is tempting to purchase a professional dirt model, as a beginner you should not do this. You will master your skills gradually so you do not need to pay much money to get a very powerful beast. So, when choosing a motocross machine, pick the one that matches your riding skill level and other parameters, such as your height. I can help you to find a good dirt beginner bike by giving a few recommendations on the models that you should consider.
How to Pick Your First Motocross Bike
Before you choose a bike for dummies, you need to decide what you need it for. There are two basic types to consider, including those designed for motocross racing and those tough enough for trail riding. The first one means that you will ride on the same path over and over again, which will allow you to learn it well, but trail riding means riding on a long distance leaving behind the road that you will see never again.
A dirt bike for adults usually comes with larger tires with more rubber and softer suspension, which makes riding more comfortable. A fuel tank has a bigger capacity and there may also be a reserve option. A tall dirt bike will come with enough ground clearance allowing you to ride safely even despite various obstacles, such as boulders. Also, some models allow starting using a button.
Usually, a motocross racing dirt machine is lighter because it does not have electric start and comes with a less fuel tank capacity, which allows doing different actions on the bike easier, such as jumping and turning.
