Points are added for every foot touch, wobble or fall off the obstacles. X-Trials has a more traditional sports layout than Enduro, with the ultimate goal to have the least amount of points against you. This alternative skillset is needed to round out a world that is usually only concerned about power and speed. Though X-Trials isn’t as dangerous as other widely acclaimed motorsports it brings a different energy and skillset to the motorcycle family that is almost ballet-like. The amount of balance these riders have is unheard of, and their dirt bikes are tailored specifically for always being poised on that back wheel by making it much larger than the front. This sport of balance and precision consists of bouncing your bike over different obstacles without touching your feet down or wobbling. The X-Trials sport is an extreme version of ‘the floor is lava’ but for motorcycles. Then others seem to have lost their will to go on like the rider at 8:12 in this video who just wants to take a long nap instead of going through one more obstacle.Įnduro racing is still relatively small compared to other motor sports, but in our opinion, it is the most physically demanding of its riders.

The Tennessee Knockout is known as one of the hardest Enduro races out there and it does not look like the most pleasant experience. The true champions of Enduro racing seem to never tire and never back down from what’s in front of them as they constantly drag, lift, push and sometimes even throw their off-road bike through obstacles to keep from getting permanently stuck. The skills needed for Enduro are endurance and strength more than speed. Watching Enduro racing is equal parts frustrating and awe-inspiring as you watch these dirt bike riders struggle to push themselves through what feels like a never-ending stream of impossible obstacles that the normal rider would have given up on at the first turn. They are crawling over rocks in dried river beds, trying to drive through ditches and having to stop to drag or push their bikes using brute strength every hundred yards or so. These riders are usually on long, natural landscape “courses” that have no real defined path for them to maneuver on. Take a look at our list of top 6 extreme motorcycle sports to find out what kind of adrenaline junkies are out there.Įnduro racing is easily the most grueling and tiring sport on this list.
