As mentioned earlier, dirt bike stickers are a great way to get a new companies name noticed. For example, the exhaust brand Akrapovic appeared on every single Japanese bike competing in the World Superbike Championship in the late nineties. After this the brand is becoming more and more popular.

It’s cool to get compliments on your dirt bike stickers and they can be great conversation starters. They’re really easy to find on the internet and are generally really cheap. If you buy a dirt bike and you want to throw a bunch of stickers on right away, I’d wait. It ends up looking a lot better when you put them on slowly because you’ll find different unique stickers you like and wish you didn’t put that last one on.

Try not to be generic and use the same dirt bike stickers everybody else does. It’ll give your bike more character and people will notice that your bike looks different. The particular sticker you’re looking for should be pretty easy for you to find on the internet. If you can’t find one you’re looking for, or one from a particular brand, you can try contacting that company, and sometimes they’ll hook you up with some free stickers. A lot of the time this will apply if it’s a smaller company trying to get their name out.

You can even go to the extent of taking stickers off of your bike that came with the bike to put your own on, or putting your own stickers over parts of the bike that usually doesn’t usually have stickers on it. However you’re going to find a lot of people have stickers all over their bike and even on their helmet.

If you compete in dirt bike races a lot and if you have some sort of a track record for winning, some companies will not only give you free dirt bike stickers, but they might even hook you up with discount or free gear. All in an effort to get their name recognized. So decorate your bike however it’s going to stand out the most.

That being said, nobody can ever really have too many dirt bike pants. So if you have a relative who loves to ride, you can’t go wrong buying them a pair for Christmas, their birthday, or any other random occasion. You could even buy them a gift card to a popular online retailer for them to use at their discretion, and if they want a pair that’s more expensive than what is on the card, they can usually use that as a down payment. Their prices range anywhere from $20 all the way up to about $250 which is, as usual, mostly determined by the additional bells and whistles.

I’ll touch on a few of the different aspects that are uncommon in all pants and not spend time talking about accessories that come on almost all pants like adjustable Velcro waist straps or boot gators.

Some pants come with a zipper at the knee to convert into shorts, however, I don’t recommend these because you’re never going to be riding in shorts and they’re not as protective. On a smaller note, I have a pair with a zipper that starts at the bottom of the pants and goes up the leg almost a foot to make it easier to take your boots off. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I’m hot and sweaty and I can’t get my boots off. Also at the bottom of my pants there is a Velcro strap to tighten them around my boots.

If you wear knee braces, a lot of dirt bike pants have spandex or other material that stretches to increase comfort in that area. When it comes to material and you want a fabric that is going to be durable against rugged wear and tear, leather or Kevlar is probably your best bet, however they’re going to be warmer and generally more expensive. They do have perforated leather which lets more air circulate; but you’re going to give up and little durability. If leather or Kevlar is out of your price range, at least get panels where you need them, since panels offer additional durability.

There’s really not much more you need to know about dirt bike pants except get a pair that is comfortable, fits well, and most importantly looks good. Hope you enjoy the ride, and remember to stay safe.
