03 — Getting into practice

Light first,
then your own.

Starting off-road is easier on a motocross bike — lighter, more agile, and you can protect your own bike from scratches until you have mastered the riding technique.

After the theory, we start the practical exercises at MX-Academy on a motocross bike from MX-Academy. These are much lighter and more agile than the heavy adventure bikes. That is why you learn the off-road riding techniques more easily and protect your own expensive bike from unnecessary scratches.

Learning riding techniques on a light MX bike. With professional motocross gear and a light motorbike, nothing stands in the way of a safe and perfectly prepared start off-road.

At MX-Academy we learn the basic riding position and cornering techniques in practice on the lightest possible motorbike. We also kit the riders out in professional motocross gear that offers the best possible protection. Vision technique and correct weight transfer when cornering are trained and optimised — and the feel for them is developed. More about motocross training or enduro training.

03b — Mastering your motorbike

Understand instead
of fighting.

After the course at MX-Academy you understand and master your motorbike. You know exactly how to move in which situation — and can apply it in practice.

Riding off-road is then no longer an ordeal — you can even enjoy it. Looking forward to a planned enduro trip and maximum safety are therefore guaranteed.

A lot is possible. Even with a heavy adventure bike a lot is possible — with the right riding technique. That is how riding off-road becomes fun!

The theory and practice from the course can be transferred directly to your own Africa Twin, BMW GS, KTM Adventure, Ténéré, Multistrada Enduro or other adventure bikes.
