dirt bike

Off-road two-wheeler

A dirt bike is a lightweight motorcycle designed for off-road use on rough terrain—trails, hills, mud, and sand.

Dirt bikes have knobby tires for traction, high ground clearance, and rugged suspension.

Some are street-legal, but most are built purely for trails and motocross racing: He spent weekends riding his dirt bike through the desert.
