Difference between Enduro Motorcycles VS. Dual Sport Motorcycles

Every bike lover is not a sports bike lover or cruiser or any other category of bike but there can exists a soul which loves fun in dirt. Bikes which should perform and makes her rider enjoy in hills full of obstacles, light in weight and very agile are called endure motorbikes.

ENGINE of endure bikes are light in weight and made of metals which are less in weight anti corrosion and very hard to break these are their material wise character. Enduro bikes are not very high in horse power or cc’s but they can perform very well own to their structure, suspension and knobby tires. So, there engines are as small as 125cc and big enough to 450cc. Engines may very from air cooled to liquid cooled and water cooled. Engines are very strongly built to bear high stresses.

FRAME is actually of very importance as it is the main part which assembles all other with it so, aluminum frames are used which are lighter in weight and strong.

SUPENSION No doubts suspension is the main jack which plays and without it the game is not complete. High jumps demand longer travels and best possible coiling with compression damping adjustability. Suspension is used with as high travel as 12 inches.

COMFORTABILITY Although these bikes  have high suspension travel and smooth engines but as they are not build for daily commute or long journeys so, they are not comfortable at all but dual sports is some how better than comfort level then these bikes.

TIRES Knobby tires makes the engine and suspension game to it peak by providing enough road grip that, does not allows bike to slip and to cross all tarins with easy and profession.

Dual sports are not very different from Enduro motorbikes in thew sense that, they share same engine and same chases but they are road legal. Road legal refers to the presence of indicators, mirrors, head lights, road legal tires.

  ON ROAD EXPERIENCE OF ENDURO IS CALLED DUAL SPORTS

Due to their agility and light weight with heavy suspension riders like to have these bikes on streets too which makes them possible to ride on streets as well. Comfortability is always a factor but after market seats are available to solve this issue.
