Despite a rich 50+ year history, moto-trials is a lesser known disciple of dirt biking relatively speaking. Trials riders aim to master the controls while navigating technical obstacles and tricky corners whilst keeping their feet on the pegs. As the level of rider ability increases, the challenges seem impossible to ride without mistake.
Trials competition is generally very spectator friendly and we encourage our visitors to browse clubs, events, and content.

2023 TrialGP… a year to definitely not remember. Toby Martyn’s comeback story after breaking his back on day two at the TrialGP in Spain is remarkable. The unfortunate accident resulted …in him breaking two vertebrae in the bottom of his back and compressing two more in the middle. Not an easy verdict to digest after posting his best TrialGP result ever the day before. Nobody wants to even think about what the injury could have been if he was not wearing his Jitsie Dynamik back protector.

Every year we are delighted to welcome top riders here at Jitsie HQ in Herk-de-Stad, Belgium. This year their visit will have added importance as they take on the new …Jitsie TrialHQ challenge and look to put their name at the top of the leaderboard.
The idea behind the Jitsie TrialHQ challenge is simple: we have built four challenging sections that each rider will have to do twice. We’ll count the marks dropped for each rider and whoever ends up with the lowest overall score at the end of the 2022 season will take home a big trophy and a nice bonus. In case of a score tiebreaker, the rider having completed the two laps fastest wins.
Today Spain’s Pau Martinez will have the honour of being the first rider to take on the challenge and to set the bench mark for the other riders who will take up the challenge in the future.
How to choose the right trials bike︱Cross Training Trials
http://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: http://wdtc.org.au

Most of the time we grip the handlebars tighter than we need to, but if a downhill run is uneven it can pay to keep a good hold on the handlebars. Trials bikes are so light that a small rut or bump could rip the bars from your hands so maintain a reasonably firm grip. Use both brakes with most emphasis on the front. The back brake stabilizes the bike on the way down. The front brake provides most of the braking pow On loose terrain should be able to apply enough brake to where both wheels are just starting to lose grip.
