Supermoto
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
Supermoto, or Supermotard is a mix of motocross and road racing. Races are usually held on road racing or go-kart tracks with a dirt section in the infield.
Most tracks are typically configured with roughly 70% tarmac and 30% dirt however dirt is not always required. The jumps vary in size and technicality but tend to be smaller than motocross and supercross jumps.
. The bikes used are frequently custom-created combinations of off-road motorcycles and road-racing rims/tires, known as 'supermotard' bikes.
Riders wear a combination of road race and offroad equipment, normally leathers and a motocross helmet and boots. Unlike normal motorcycle racing, the emphasis lies on slower short and twisty tracks, where rider skill matters far more than outright machine performance.
