Dirt Bikes Make You a Better Adventure Rider—Here’s Why

Want to get better at ADV riding? Start with a dirt bike.
In this video, I share why riding a dirt bike has been one of the best ways to improve my off-road skills for adventure riding. If you’re new to ADV and struggling with confidence on technical trails, this is for you.

✅ Here’s what I cover:

Why a lightweight dirt bike builds confidence

How riding dirt teaches clutch, throttle, and body control

Why mistakes are cheaper (and less stressful) on a dirt bike

How dirt bike practice makes you faster and safer on your big ADV bike

Why you don’t have to choose—dirt bikes and ADV bikes work together

If your goal is to ride big adventure bikes on BDRs, forest roads, or single track, adding a dirt bike to your training will speed up your progress and make riding way more fun.
