Created Date: 2022-07-28 14:17:53

Off road motorcycles are called off road bikes, or dirt bikes. It is relative to the on road bike or Road going bike. The classification is as follows:

1. Competition only, light weight, for racing and jumping, with knobby tires
This kind of car is characterized by light weight, no lights, no dashboard, reducing the weight to a minimum. But the spring is particularly strong, and the frame is very strong. This kind of car has two development branches:

(1) Motocross: focus on running circles and jumping. This kind of race is seen most in the media. The track is made of high-quality soil. All the ups and downs are in the shape of conic. There are sand piles on the outside of all kinds of corners to assist drivers in turning.
(2) Hard enduro: focus on crossing obstacles. This kind of race is also quite common. There are countless lying thick wooden piles, large old tires, deep pits, mud puddles, stairs and so on. Few people can pass each obstacle smoothly in this kind of game. Most people get stuck in some obstacles and squeeze into a ball. The scene is very chaotic and there is no speed at all. Erzberg, the famous race, uses this kind of car.

2. Dual sport (or dual purpose bike):regenerative off-road riding, more heavy, less rugged, serviceability and comfort, road- legal, because it has street- legal equipment like indicators and mirrors This kind of car is legal on the road, with turn signals and reflectors. Comfortable and durable. It has two branches:

(1)ADV. For example, BMW r1250gs, BMW f850gs, Tenere 700.

(2) Pure dual sport. It looks like the off-road type. If you directly say dual sport in English, you are talking about this kind. This kind of car basically looks like off-road, but the core is very weak, because the frame, suspension and other accessories are designed according to half of the road and half of the off-road, so the off-road with low strength can be dealt with. The typical representative is Honda crf250l. There are also some with slightly larger displacement, such as dr650.

3. Enduro bike, the off-road performance of this kind of car is between the above two. Endurance, comfort, durability, lightweight, body strength, shock absorption strength and so on are all between the above two. It usually has headlights, taillights and instrument panel. There are usually no turn signals and reflectors. This kind of car has three branches:

(1) Typical representatives of trail bike (also known as woods bike) are Honda CRF 250x and Yamaha wr250f. The suspension of this kind of car is already very strong, and it can cope with running and jumping. As long as it doesn't pursue ranking, it has many compromises over motocross, such as comfort and body weight. It usually has soft support, soft throttle response, cushion that can make people sit on the top for an hour without meat pain, odometer and tachometer. The riding method of this kind of car is to make people slow down, Transfer the driving route to nature instead of an artificial track, which can be on the vast off-road terrain like Utah in the United States Ride in the race, and the fun is not reduced to the ultimate experience in the race track. The biggest difference between it and the dual sport model is that it does not have the ability to travel.
(2) The characteristic of enduro is that it pays great attention to performance and adjustment. The difference between enduro and hard enduro is that it has headlights, taillights, dashboard and so on. This feature is very helpful for you to distinguish the product series of each manufacturer. Common events include six days enduro. KTM enhanced models are separately named six days series.
(3)Rally Raid. Pull model. This pull is not that pull. The rally here is the one of Dakar Rally. The other pull, which refers to the pull of leisure long-distance travel, should be more consistent with adv. The off-road capability of rally raid is between trail bike and six days enduro. Because it should take into account the high-intensity reliability of off-road, power level, endurance ability, driver fatigue and other issues. It usually has a large oil storage system. The shock absorption and frame need to be very durable, lightweight and powerful. Typical representatives are crf450rally and KTM 450rally. This model is mainly for The price is very high. FIM will hold rallies in many places around the world throughout the year, and the first race in the new year is usually the famous Dakar Rally.

4.Trial Bike. Look, the spelling is very similar to trail bike. But the reading method and connotation are very different. The trial bike is a very extreme model. It has no seat, is very light, and is very short. Some people call it a climbing car. The meaning of its existence is an extremely difficult race and stunt performance. In this extremely difficult race, there are extremely steep slopes and extremely large angle turns. This kind of race is better than balance ability. Drivers often hover during the race, and turn around in place through tossing and turning when the angle is too large. This kind of car race and stunt performance are particularly wonderful.

5.Super Moto. Tire skidding car. KTM's SMC series is a typical representative.
Dirt Track. Mud circuit racing. Indian 1200ftr is this type of car.

6.Pit Bike／Fun Bike／Mini Bike. They are all small off-road motorcycles with small size and small engine displacement. This kind of car is not only for teenagers, but also for adults. For example, crf50 with small displacement. Klx110 with large displacement.

7. Quad bike (also known as ATV) has four wheels, and the handlebars control the direction. The off-road ability of this type of vehicle can be the strongest from zero to the ground. Among them, the weaker vehicle is used as a beach car, and the vehicle with high horsepower. If there is a trunk, it can also be used as a farmer's car, and the strongest vehicle is used for racing. A separate group is set up for quad bike in Dakar Rally.

8. Buggy (also known as UTV) has four wheels, and the steering wheel controls the direction. It can also be called a car. But none of them is allowed to drive on the road by law. Like ATV, the off-road capability is from zero to the strongest full coverage on the ground. The weakest buggy can only be used as a shuttle bus to make a golf cart, and it is also widely used in the airport. UTV with medium strength can be used as a farmer's car. There is no problem with grazing and farming in the mountains. There is also a trunk that can transport materials. The strongest UTV is used for competitive sports. There is a buggy group in the Dakar Rally, and the displacement cannot exceed 1200cc. It is mainly refitted by UTV such as Bombardier and Polaris. There are also buggy groups in the baja1000, but they are basically made of steel pipes, and the frame is covered with one outside
According to the author's understanding, there are no restrictions on vehicle refitting in the baja1000 race, so the performance of vehicles in this race is at the ceiling level.

9. Jet ski motorboats and Bombardier Yamaha have related products. Most of these manufacturers of land powered machinery are involved in powered water sports. There are standing ones, which are specially used for stunts and competitions. There are also seat style ones for leisure and entertainment.

10. Snowmobile snowmobiles. Bombardier has a wide range of snowmobiles.

11.Mountain Bike. It's also called downhill car. Don't think there is a bike in English

In addition to its lack of power, it mainly relies on 99% gravity and 1% human power. Other features are exactly the same as that of an off-road motorcycle. Look at the various equipment of the downhill vehicle, shock absorption modification, cornering skills, jumping skills and so on.
