Riding Gear for Dirt Bike Riding!

 Having the proper gear when riding a dirt bike is very important for keeping yourself safe. We have a great selection of riding gear and dirtbikes at our Powersports dealer in Lebanon, MO. If you're just starting to get into riding dirt bikes, you may not know about all of the gear you will need. Read on to learn about the necessary riding gear! 


Motocross Boots

Lots of riders concentrate on the jerseys and pants first, but protective gear should be your initial focus. Motocross boots, in particular, give you the support needed for all of those twists and impacts your feet and ankles will experience. It's tough to ride with a broken ankle! You might also consider wearing knee braces. Even if you don't need them now, they can help to prevent knee injuries that will make them a necessity later.

Helmet

Obviously, you're going to need a helmet. When choosing one though, it is very important to find the perfect fit. This protective equipment is designed to keep your head safe in very specific ways and an improper fit takes away from the helmet's overall protection.

A helmet that is too tight may cause headaches from the additional pressure. This also makes it very likely that you may bite your tongue or cheek in a crash. On the other hand, if the helmet is too loose that extra room leaves too much space for your head to move around on impact. A snug, perfect fit keeps everything in place properly. 

 

Properly Fitting Apparel

Much like with the helmet, wrong sizes can cause unnecessary problems. Areas to focus on with pants is the waist size, leg length, and knee room. Anything that is too tight will be uncomfortable and affect your ability to move easily while riding. You need clothing to be loose enough that you can move freely and have enough room for pads or braces underneath but not so loose that it interferes with safety. 


Right Gear for the Type of Ride

Much of the gear you will find is made specifically for different types of riding. If you're riding on a track, your motocross gear needs to be lightweight and highly ventilated for long sessions on hot days. For off-road riding, you will need something built for durability and longevity that can withstand things like falling rocks and brushing tree limbs.
