dirt biker

Off-road motorcycle enthusiast

A dirt biker is someone who rides a dirt bike—a lightweight motorcycle designed for off-road terrain like trails, hills, and unpaved tracks.

The term covers both recreational riders who enjoy weekend trail riding and competitive racers in motocross or enduro events.
