Off-Road
Dirtbikes (also trail bikes) are off-road motorcycles that are lightweight and feature rugged suspension and knobby tires to get traction off the pavement. MX stands for motocross, the sport of all-terrain racing on outdoor circuits. Motocross is a contraction of “motorcycle” and “cross country.” The long-travel suspension on MX bikes enables incredible speed over even harsh off-road conditions and massive triple-jumps. Supercross is a variation of motocross that is raced on indoor or stadium circuits. SX got its name from an original event in Los Angeles during the 1970s that was called “the Superbowl of Motocross.”View all Off-Road ReviewsOff-Road REVIEWS
2010 Yamaha YZ250F Review

2010 Kawasaki KLX110 & KLX110L Review
Good things in small packages
With two versions now stuffed under Kawasaki’s smallest MXer’s moniker, a KLX110 standard and a new KLX110L with long-travel suspension, there’s a little green monster for everyone in the family.
2010 Zero MX Review
An electric bike with MX-ability
Compared to the basic X model, the new Zero MX features a sturdier shock and fork, bigger tires on wider rims, and stronger hubs. Those changes make it about 10 pounds heavier and give it much-improved moto capability.View all Off-Road ReviewsOff-Road REVIEWS
