What is a dual-sport? A dual-sport is a street-legal motorcycle built to ride both pavement and dirt, with long-travel suspension, generous ground clearance, and tires that work on loose surfaces. It carries the lights, mirrors, and plate that make it road legal, so a forest road and the highway to reach it are both fair game. Dual-sports are the bikes that turn a gravel connector between two paved routes from a problem into an option.
