motocross
Off-road bike sport
Motocross is a form of motorcycle racing conducted on rough, unpaved courses featuring steep hills, sharp turns, and obstacles like jumps and mud pits.
The bikes are lightweight and specially designed for the terrain, with enhanced suspension and knobby tires.
Riders compete on closed circuits, and races emphasize both speed and technical skill in handling challenging conditions.
