Enduro, Trail and Green Laining in Ireland - Dublin/Wicklow

[OwenG]

Hello,

Im looking to get started with some Enduro riding near Dublin / Wicklow . Preferably fire roads and forest riding. Im new to the scene and Id like to get involved. What sort of bike would you guys recommend. Im 6'2 and about 100kg. I have been looking at KTM EXC-F 250's etc as something road legal would make life a bit easier.

Thanks

There's not too many legal options for trail riding, especially around Dublin / Wicklow, unfortunately. Too many walkers...
TORC run enduro events & they used to run a 'trail ride' alongside the event as a sort of taster to encourage new blood but I don't know if they still do

If you're not planning to compete & you're only new to the off-road you might be better to look at something more trail orientated. A Yamaha TTR250 for example is road legal & should be tall enough for you. Or a Suzuki DRZ400 maybe.
