Dual Sports

Dual sports are, for the most part, dirtbikes that are street legal due to specialized stealth-knobbies, street-legal lighting, and mirrors. Many come with handguards and some sort of flyscreen for rider protection, but share suspension members and frame components with full-on dirtbikes. This class is the successor to the Enduro bracket, and is good for the kind of racing that pairs blacktop stretches with dirt trails in between, or for folks who'd like to ride to their favorite off-road site instead of trailering the thing. Typically, the main feature that visually sets it apart from a “regular” dirt bike is a taller fuel-tank hump that isn't entirely unlike that of an adventure bike.
