benmacateer Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi I'm 12 years old and want to get into trials. I've been riding motocross bikes since I was 6, but am not sure what type of trials bike to get. I'm looking for a bike with good build quality and a bike which I would have a lot of control on, Ideally for no more than £3000.00, does anyone know anything good.

turbofurball Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 If you're in the UK you'll be restricted to a 125 until you're 16 IIRC (which is plenty of power anyway), a good used Gasgas or Sherco is probably the best way to go as parts and maintenance are easy for them. Trials is very different from motocross or trail riding, so be prepared for a steep learning curve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 With your indication of having MX experience... I would expect a Beta, Shareco or Gas Gas 125 would be a great bike to start on. If you really want something bigger a Beta 200 would likely be the largest I would recommend if your allowed to go bigger than 125. My daughter is 15 and she is extra happy on an 08 Gas Gas 125 for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
