Dirt Bikes vs. Chainsaws?

Obviously you never want to actually put these two in the ring together, but when it comes to contests of strength, you might be surprised at the winner. Though dirt bikes certainly cover more ground, the average chainsaw motor is more powerful than the average dirt bike engine! That’s no flaw, though—dirt bike engines are smaller by design, since a lightweight build and more control is what dirt bikes are built for.

The Tall Ones in the Family

That said, dirt bikes still have plenty of other traits that trump other machines. For instance, of every motorcycle type, dirt bikes are typically the tallest. This is because most dirt bikes have 12-13 inches of front and rear suspension to help you handle off-road bumps and obstacles.

Not Just a Fun Ride

This one’s important for those of you looking to make good on some new years’ resolutions: dirt bikes are good for your health! Like most motorcycles, riding them is a full-body workout, since you have to lean to turn. This activates your core and leg muscles, and your arms are working nonstop to control the bike’s speed and direction.
