Off-road
There are several different types of off-road motorcycles, also known as dirt bikes, designed and specialised for specific functions. For off road use they typically, when compared to road going motorcycles, have:
- Light weight
- Long suspension travel and high ground clearance
- Simple, rugged construction with little bodywork and no fairing
- Large wheels with knobby tires, often clamped to the rim with a rim lock
