What is trials riding?

Trials riding is a non-speed motorcycle sport that focuses on precision and control. Riders navigate through challenging obstacle courses without putting their feet down, testing their balance, technique, and nerve. It's a sport that demands finesse more than speed, and it's popular among both amateurs and professionals.

Do I need travel insurance for trials riding?

Yes. Trials riding involves negotiating tough terrain, which can lead to falls or injuries. If you're travelling abroad for competitions or practice, specialist travel insurance can help cover emergency medical treatment, cancellations, and repatriation if needed.
