Trial Motorcycles

Trials motorcycles are the most specialized balance-focused machines in the world. Unlike any other category, these bikes are designed to be ridden standing up, often lacking a traditional seat to allow for maximum body movement while navigating extreme obstacles. Technical specifications for trials bikes emphasize low-end torque, extreme weight reduction, and radical chassis geometry. Our database provides the hard data on these featherweight champions, which often weigh less than 70kg. We track the unique engine characteristics, such as heavy flywheels that allow for precision throttle control at near-zero speeds, and the specialized soft-compound tires that provide traction on vertical rock faces. Because trials riding is about precision rather than speed, our specs focus on ground clearance, turning radii, and the specialized braking systems required for static balance. Explore the engine bore/stroke ratios and fluid capacities that keep these liquid-cooled singles performing in the most technically demanding terrain on earth.
