what are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Which is easier? any input appreciated
Dirtbikes are far better for Motocross. For things other than motocross they are a lot closer.
truthfully i can't think of one advantage a quad has over a dirtbike on the track. also a quad is much more expensive to race than a bike and you make less money
i can what are quads known for when the wider then all **** turning.
actaully it all depends on the rider and the track style and conditions... if its all straight up jumps and bumps and ruts and tight have fun on a quad bc ur gonna die....
Some times the quad can stop and turn faster. I think this is the only advantage.
oo ooo i thought of one! a quad gets more traction!
Quads get faster lap times than the dirtbike guys. Quads can take corners way faster, stop quicker, slide easier, but are much harder to ride than dirtbikes. Dirtbikes can jump higher and land much softer but and go faster but they can't produce the lap times like quads. Quads either tie with them on lap times or are better. It also depends on the track. I saw Joe byrd beat the dirtbike money class one time at a track after they started about 10 sec's before him. They were to the first turn before he even took off, and then he started knocking them off like fly's.
I dont know where you are racing, but our quad guys here get spanked by the top dirtbike classes! We have 4 or 5 guys locally that do well in nationals (#5 in the +30 class, #8 in the Open A, #5 in 4-stroke C) and they ride probably with the 250b or 250c classes, the 250a guys just kill them! On our track, the best quad guys cant touch the good dirtbike guys. But get them in the woods, and our quad riders start about 5 minutes after the bike guys and are usually past the majority of htem after the first lap!
Rhino99 what track do you ride at? And what guys are you taling about?Mo
