A trials motorcycle is a specialized type of motorcycle designed for the sport of trials riding. These bikes are lightweight and feature a unique design that allows for excellent balance and maneuverability. They typically have a low seat height, long suspension travel, and minimalistic bodywork, which helps riders navigate challenging obstacles like rocks, logs, and steep inclines. In trials competitions, riders are scored based on their ability to complete sections without putting their feet down. The sport emphasizes skill and precision over speed, making it distinct from other motorcycle disciplines. Trials events often take place in natural terrains, showcasing the rider's technical abilities.
