Supermoto Reviews
Supermoto machines initially started as motocross and enduro machines fitted with roadracing tires as part of a spectator-beloved racing series in the 1970s and ’80s called Superbikers. Racers from the dirt and pavement sides of competition came together to try to prove which was the most talented over a course made from both asphalt and dirt. This style of racing went away in America but was picked up in a big way in Europe, and now it has returned to its roots with enthusiastic supporters for this exciting brand of racing in the U.S. Today there are a number of manufacturers making supermoto-specific motorcycles, freeing a potential customer from converting a dirt bike into a supermoto bike. These hooligan machines make excellent city-goers and can dismantle a tight and twisty canyon quicker than pretty much anything out there.
