Bike Requirements

To race or practice with BC Supermoto you'll need a dirt bike in good mechanical condition with the following modifications / features:


Wheels and Tires

Your dirt bike will need one of the following wheel / tire upgrades:

A) Stock dirt rims with Sportsman tires-DOT approved

B) 17” supermoto rims with race slicks, grooved slicks or any non-knobby tires


Catch Cans

Catch Cans are required for radiator, carb & crankcase/airbox vents to prevent fluids from draining onto the track surface. Antifreeze should also be replaced with a non-slippery fluid (water wetter etc).

Catch Cans may be factory-designed plastic reservoirs or as simple as a pop can with attached plastic tubing.




Lights & Gauges

All lights, gauges and turn signals must be removed or taped over.


Peg and Axle Sliders

BC Supermoto recommends bikes have plastic peg and axle sliders installed to prevent damage to the track surface and the bike.




Noise Restrictions

Races held at Tradex and Merritt will have a noise limit of 99 dB's. Stock pipes and most aftermarket pipes wil be OK.

Brakes

It’s not required , but many supermoto racers prefer to run rotors and calipers larger than those found on a stock dirt bike.

Try racing with us first. If you decide to upgrade your brakes, talk to one of our sponsors for the best suitable system.


Hand and Lever Guards

In a crash, your levers are usually the first part of the bike to hit the ground. Replacing bent levers can get expensive very quickly. Most racers will tell you a good set of metal lever/hand guards can be a smart investment. Bar-end or lever guard plastic sliders are also recommended.

Inspection

All bikes are required to pass technical inspection before they can enter the track for practice, qualifying or races.

Inspections will be performed each practice and race day by a race official.
Every attempt will be made to get your bike through tech. - we want you riding not sitting in the pits!

Required Gear

BC Supermoto allows racers to wear either race leathers or motocross gear.Whichever style you choose, your safety gear must meet the following requirements:

Helmet

Helmets must be non damaged SNELL 2005 certified.Helmets can be open face or closed visor (dirt or road race).


Boots

Boots must rise above the ankle and must not fasten using laces. Supermoto specific boots are not required (replaceable soles). Most styles of motocross or road race boots are acceptable.


Gloves

Heavy-duty leather racing gloves are best to protect your hands in a crash.

Motocross gloves are permitted, but road race gloves and armoured knuckles are an added level of safety.


Knee, Elbow and Spine Armour

Make sure your leather racing suit has knee, elbow and spine armour built in.

If you choose to wear motocross gear, be sure to wear knee pads, elbow pads, a back protector or an armoured vest.

Classes & Divisions

The BC Supermoto Championship has race classes to suit every level of rider.

The decision to run certain race classes will be made on race day based on the number of registrants in each class (3 entries req. - class).
