Everything about Dirt Bikes
Dirt bikes are fascinating motorcycles. The amount of abuse they can handle is just insane. They go where other bikes won’t. And that is why we appreciate them that much. We will tell you all about dirt bikes.
You might recognize the silhouette of the dirt bike from an article we’ve written earlier. That time, we wrote an article named ‘Everything about Supermoto bikes‘. Dirt bikes and supermotos look a bit a like. One thing stands out though. The different rims and tires. Oh and don’t forget the slightly smaller brake disks on the dirt bikes. And softer suspension.
EVERYTHING ABOUT DIRT BIKES
LET'S GET MESSY
So you already know the difference between dirt bikes and supermotos. Which one came first? Definitely the dirt bikes. They originated in the United Kingdom. One of the first dirt bikes was a BSA bike.
"WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE"
JAPANESE TAKE OVER
The first dirt bikes might originate in the UK, but it didn’t take long for the Japanese to take over the business. Japanese motorcycle manufacturers started making dirt bikes and quickly showed their dominance in this segment, with Yamaha and Suzuki showing the most force.
THE CURRENT DIRT BIKE GAME
MANY MORE FACES
These days, it’s not just Yamaha and Suzuki anymore. The latter actually has lost quite some terrain (ha-ha) in the dirt bike segment. According to research among a huge group of dirt bike riders with hundred of hours of riding experience across a wide range of brands over many years done in 2021, most dirt bike riders fancy Honda bikes to plow through the dirt. Yamaha still is a big player and holds third place. Who’s in between the two then?
That’s the brand everyone practically seems to think of when you say ‘dirt bike’; KTM. The Austrian manufacturer is a common sight when you take your bike off road. We bet, that if you total the sales of the last 5 years in the dirt bike industry, they leave everyone far behind.
The orange dirt bikes can’t be missed either. If they aren’t red, blue or orange, they are green coloured. Kawasaki is also a big player in the off road world. Suzuki is found on 6th place.
NO SHOW OF FORCE
BUT ALL ABOUT AGILITY
Most dirt bikes are lightweight bikes with small engines. A 400 or 500cc dirt bike is considered to be a heavy dirt bike. And more suited for enduro riding than for motocross. The smallest dirt bikes only have a 50cc engine. Most go for a mid weight model from 125cc to 250cc.
It’s no strange thing that these bikes are so lightweight. They weren’t made to speed down the highway. They were made for off-road riding. You don’t need big power there. You need just enough power to plow through the mud quickly, without the engine adding too much weight to the bike.
MADE TO BREAK
AND EASY TO FIX
One of the best things about dirt bikes, is that they are basically designed to get beat up. To get thrown to the ground, flipped over, crashed backwards, sidewards, you name it. And due to that character, they are also easy to fix. Think of plastic fenders and panels. They rather bend than break. But in case you do break them, they are quite cheap and easy to replace.
MOST DIRT BIKES
ARE NOT ROAD LEGAL
It might be an open door to some, but most dirt bikes are not street legal. So you can’t take them on the roads. That is, because they lack certain important safety features. Think of headlights, a tail light, brake lights, mirrors and blinkers. Most of them also are not registered. And another – sadly – important thing these days; they often don’t meet the emission standards.
In case you plan on riding endure trips that cross the public road, you might want to consider to get a slightly heavier dirt bike that was made with that intention. Those dirt bikes are modified for enduro trips, so they do have a registration and are allowed on the road.
HARD WORK
ON A DIRT BIKE
At REDRIDINGBOOTS, we love road racing. And we always are exhausted at the end of a track day. But if you think riding on track is exhausting, then riding a dirt bike might kill you. Not literally, of course. We hope not, at least.. But riding a dirt bike is a proper workout. Like a “I’m dead, can’t walk, need assistance” kinda workout. You work your whole body, from legs, to core, to arms. Everything.
So you better get ready to rumble. And that is probably why so many adrenaline junkies tend to ride dirt bikes. It is just something else. Those bikes can do things other bikes never will. Think of a jump of almost 24 meters high. Or a jump of almost 119 meters wide. Can you image a sport bike or all road bike doing that? Don’t think so. These 150 to 200 hp babies ain’t got nothing on those lightweight daredevils.
SEAT HEIGHT OF DIRT BIKES
TALLER THAN OTHERS
Just like supermotos, dirt bikes has a tall seat height. The average dirt bike has 12 to 13 inches of front- and rear suspension. Include some bigger spoke wheels and you get a really tall seat height. So don’t even think about flat-footing these bikes. You won’t, unless you are a very tall person on a very little dirt bike.
Most of us won’t be able to reach the ground with both feet. And it is supposed to be that way, so don’t whine about it. You basically always have one foot on a peg when you ride this type of bike. And when you need to stand still in the middle of the woods, you won’t have to worry about traffic. So you can take your time to pick the right spot.

CONCLUSION
Riding dirt bikes is something else. No need for high speed action. Think of 200 km/h action. But trust us.. when you’re on a quick lap with a dirt bike on a motocross track, it will feel like you are going way faster than you actually go. They are lightweight and their agile characteristics makes them extremely fun to ride. And they are basically made to crash. This enables riders to do insane things and set extreme records with these little motorcycles. They are just awesome. And we love them.
