    • How to Plan a Motorcycle Trail RideHow to Plan a Motorcycle Trail Ride
      Motorcycle Trail RidingWith road-riding, the trips are mostly straightforward to ride. Knowing where you are driving, and the open road makes it a comfortable ride.

With off-road bikes, there are many options to choose from that will keep trail riding exciting. Small capacity trail bikes are designed to handle the rough riding you will be encountering on adventurous trail runs and are most likely the best option. The bigger off-road motorcycles are also capable and probably more fun when it comes to power, especially with gentle terrain or flowing surfaces, they can surprise the rider with their ability. But when the going gets tough, the bigger motorcycles can struggle over the rocks and gravel. Having good basic protective gear such as hand and engine guards can also help a lot. Having the correct tyres and protective body gear is also vital to be safe and enjoy the ride to the fullest. Having a riding kit can be beneficial to any motorcycle adventure. Just as with road riding, you will need to make sure the vulnerable and expensive parts are covered. Especially looking at protection gear for your body, you will need elbow, knee, and shoulder pads, safety off-road shoes, and a helmet for head and eye protection.
