Making a hill climb is not as easy as it sounds. If you are going to take down the hill by foot than you have better chance than these people that are trying to take it with a dirt bike. When going on foot you have the chance to choose where you are going to step and with which pace you are going uphill. But with the dirt bike it is all about the speed that you are going with and all about the tires that have been mounted on the bike before the race.
Here on these hill climb races it is good that the hills don’t have too much sand on the surface made for driving. That makes it a lot easier to climb the hill but taking the first place on the race is such difficult thing to do. In order to finish first at the race you need to have the best time on the clock for the finished race AND to be on top of everybody’s reach. Reach means where the bike has stopped on his way up to the top of the hill. If the bike is going down because of the situation he has been found into, then the driver gets no points for the race at all.
That’s why it is so hard to win these kinds of races and going on these events will require that you buy some expensive dirt bike. Hill climb is not a joke! This particular bike is a Kawasaki KX500 and an expensive one because the normal ones, we mean the stock ones are not going to make it out here. The power needs to be at ultimate level, going above 100 HP on the bike is a must, the standard ones are usually 140 HP and 150 HP and the gearbox needs to be changed too.
