How to choose the right trials bike︱Cross Training Trials
crosstrainingenduro.com wdtc.org.au How to choose the right trials bike? Which trials should I buy? Trials bikes for beginners. Trials bikes for kids. Two stroke or four stroke trials bikes? There’s a twin-shock class for trials bikes built before about 1985. Which is the best trials bike for beginners? Brands like Oset have electric trials bikes for kids which have a decent battery life with the added advantage of being able to ride in the back yard without annoying the neighbours. The mono shock trials bikes are around 1985 and on - these have become lighter and more capable every year. Four stroke trials bikes v two stroke trials bikes! There is a wide range to choose from, it’s hard to make a mistake! Trials is mostly about rider skill and not the bike you are on so don’t stress too much about making the right choice. Classic trials bike classes exist for vintage bikes built before 1965. Some riders prefer four-strokes - the pros and cons are similar when looking at dirt bikes. In a nutshell, the advantages are a tamer engine response, usually quieter if practicing in the back yard, more engine braking, fewer engine rebuilds, no messing around with oil, and better fuel economy. If you also plan on some trail riding then four strokes are generally smoother and quieter on open trials at a consistent speed. Adults are also finding backyard practice possible now that adult-sized bikes are emerging. Electric trials bikes now have mproved battery life, weight and the addition of clutches have the electric bikes fast approaching the abilities of their petrol-driven cousins. See the trials forums for more information on various brands such as Electric Motion, Gas Gas, Oset, Beta and Mecatecno. The drawbacks are they are more expensive, slightly heavier and engine overhauls will be more expensive and time-consuming (although it takes ages to wear any trials engine out!). Some of the world’s top riders choose to ride four-strokes so it does come down to personal preference. Electric trials bikes are an interesting new development. Trials website: wdtc.org.au

    So to confirm, apart from the Trials Clubs or private property, there aren't many places you can ride? Say if i have an early finish at work and a short arvo to kill, it wouldn't be like chucking my registered enduro bike in the back of the ute and driving 40 min to the Glasshouse mtns for a few hours riding?

    • @crosstrainingtrials
      @crosstrainingtrials Před 10 dny

      Yep. Although in other states like Vic and Tas you can fit a headlight and get recreational registration. There is a version of this in Qld but it doesn't apply to state forests, it's only for farmers wanting access to back roads for ag bikes or quads etc.

      Yeah that 1500 should probably read 3500 now with inflation and the big price hike that came with covid. But I just jumped on Facebook Markeplace and saw old trials bikes for $1100 and two for $2000 in my area...

  • @ForeverThriveLife
    @ForeverThriveLife Před rokem

    if you intend to use a trials bike to rip up and down trails often they can over-heat quickly which can cause the engine to seize. The radiators are small compared to an enduro bike so be wary of this. So use the trials bike like it is intended. If you like ripping up and down trails or tearing up the side of mountains you should chose an enduro bike
