Gear and Accessories for Motocross

Motocross Gear

Motocross equipment is similar to that of normal dirt bike graphics, basically consisting of a helmet, goggles, jersey, gloves, pants and boots. However, motocross racers sometimes use add-on items for added protection or to improve the effectiveness of existing items.

Most motocross riders, especially those who compete, choose to use cutting or rolling features on their goggles, which serve to protect the rider’s goggle lenses from dirt and mud. An additional protective item that a motocrosser may use is a deflector or hanger protector. A deflector is typically worn under the jersey, designed to protect the upper body from dirt, mud, rocks, and other debris dislodged from the rear tire of other riders’ bikes.

Dirt Bike Helmets

Dirt bike helmets are one of the most important pieces of protection when riding a dirt bike, as they are designed to protect the rider’s head in the event of an impact. They are solid and have a visor that prevents sunlight from entering the cyclist’s eyes. Dirt bike helmets are offered by a variety of companies, including Shoei, Arai, Bell, 6D, HJC, Airoh, Just 1, Scorpion, Suomy, AGV, Vemar, Alpinestars, Fly Racing, Fox Racing, Klim, Leatt, Thor MX. and design by Troy Lee.

Dirt Bike Goggles

Off-road goggles are essential to protect your eyes from shelters, rocks, and dust while riding. It is important to find goggles that fit well on your face and fit inside the eyelets of the helmet. Some glasses come with a variety of lenses, clear or tinted, and may also include a removable lens kit. Companies that make off-road goggles include Oakley, Spy, 100%, Scott, EKS Brand, Dragon, Fox Racing, Fly Racing, Thor MX and Klim.

Dirt Bike Boots

Dirt bike boots are special footwear designed to protect a cyclist’s feet, ankles and shins. Off-road boots are available in a variety of designs. One such design is the hinge, which is a hinge in the ankle joint designed to prevent hyperflexion and hyperextension. Two high-end boots with an articulated design include the Sidi Crossfire 3 and Fox Racing Instincts. Additionally, some boots, such as the Alpinestars Tech 10, have a liner, which is a soft “shoe” inside the boot that is also hinged. The most popular brands of off-road boots are Alpinestars, Sidi, Gaerne, TCX and Fox Racing.

Dirt Bike Gloves

Off-road gloves are designed to protect the rider’s hands from impacts and prevent blisters. For cross-country riders, they also provide protection from natural elements such as tree branches, bushes, and rocks. Dirt bike gloves usually have a matching jersey and pants that also come with them.

Dirt Bike Pants

Off-road pants are designed to provide protection in the event of a crash, but are flexible enough to allow the rider to easily make the necessary movements while riding. Off-road pants typically have a ratchet strap at the front for waist adjustment and a spacious knee area to allow the use of knee pads or knee pads. Most gear brands offer different lines that not only have different graphic designs, but also different fits, such as sporty or loose. Two very different styles of off-road pants are pant-on-trunk and pant-over-trunk. Pants inside the boot are more popular, but pants over the boot do a better job of protecting the boot from mud, water and sand. Pants over boots are typically worn by off-road racers, not motorcyclists. Ventilation is another key factor, as pants with more ventilation are typically worn by those who primarily ride in warm conditions or during the summer, while pants without ventilation are intended for use in colder climates.
