02 — Mini motocross

Mini motocross
at
MX-Academy Switzerland.

To make sure everything goes perfectly, the little motorsport riders have a mini motocross bike with automatic gearbox so that they get used to handling such a machine.

For this we offer the young enthusiasts the entire Honda kids motocross range: CRF50, CRF70, CRF110, CRF125 and CRF150. As long as throttle and brake are not yet used smoothly, an experienced professional rides along and helps in difficult situations.

The next step amazes most parents. Usually, after a short time, the children are able to ride the kids motocross course on their own. A very special confidence boost for the youngsters!

All technically minded children can also learn to use the clutch and show their skills on a geared kids’ motocross bike. Just like the grown-ups. Everyone when they are ready.
