What exactly is trial?
A balance discipline where you cross obstacles (rocks, logs, slopes) without putting your foot down. No speed, no race: precision and core stability. Exists in moto and bike form.

From your first ride to your first competition. The complete guide to start in Belgium.

Choose between moto and bike
Bike requires less investment (1500-3000€ for a good trial bike) and no license. Moto is more impressive but requires an FMB license, gear and a starting budget of ~5000€. Many practitioners do both.
