Motorists enthusiasts in Dubai and those visiting the city seem to enjoy more of thrilling motorcylce ride adventures than car drives and we explain to you why.

One common culture in Dubai is the supercar culture. It is now emerging that motorists in the desert region are in preference of the two-wheel to the four-wheel drive. The motorcycle community in the Emirate is extensive, with something to offer every kind of rider. The local Hajar mountain range offer a thrilling excitement to those with a sense of adventure. Racers who have adrenaline junkies can satisfy their souls at the Dubai Autodrome where motorists can reach a speed of up to 300 Kmp/h on the specially designed racetrack. In this autodrome, racers can push their motors as well as themselves up to the limit. Riders can also improve their racing techniques at the Furiosa's Track Academy. The managing director of Furioasa Racing explains how the Academy helps riders improve their skills.  In his statement; "The idea behind the track school is that we build confident riders but in the right ways. If you are a confident rider, you will enjoy the motorcycle scene a lot more. You have the riders on the track who are aware of the rules. There are also emergency services available if something happens. Overall, it's a much more controlled environment."

When most people think of Dubai, they see the skyscrapers, however, just a short ride away is the Hajer mountains. They range as a network of dirt trails ideal for off-road motorcycles and boast spectacular views at heights that dwarf the Burj Khalifa. On visiting one of the fuelling stations of Dubai's outskirts on a weekend, one will be able to appreciate the diversity of the riding community in the city. Many American, Europan, and Japanese motorcycles built for speed, comfort, and adventure will be revving up for the ride ahead, as riders from all corners of the world will be exchanging tales of previous rides and aspirations for future adventures. 

It is quite evident that motorists in that part of the world and also those visiting the City fancy the two-wheel motorcycle drive more than the four-wheel drive. X Enduro, another track academy, offers training for riders who want to improve their off-road techniques. It has qualified instructors who use cones on a flat area to teach riding skills to start each lesson. Students will then navigate around rocks and trees using the techniques learned with cones. The training majors of off roads adventures as most people visiting Dubai for a motor experience believe that off-road riding opens up new chapters of adventure.
