Observed trials is the cheapest and safest form of motorcycle competition.
It's also easy to get into-and a sport the entire family can enjoy. At the same time, trials can be the most scientific and challenging of all two-wheeled motor sports. Trials can be used as a skill refiner for dirt riding, as a way around parental objection to the hazards of other forms of cycle competition, or as an end in itself. For those not interested in competition, a trials motorcycle can function as the ultimate trail bike. It's built to compete in the toughest terrain imaginable, so trail riding can seem like child's play.
