About

The history of dirt biking dates back to the early 1900s when motorcycles were first adapted for off-road use. Initially, riders modified street bikes by removing lights and adding knobby tires and suspension systems. The sport gained significant momentum in the 1960s and 1970s, leading to the development of specialized dirt bikes designed for racing. Notable early models include the 1955 BSA Gold Star Scrambler and the 1968 Husqvarna 250 Cross, which helped popularize motocross in the United States.
