Motorcross trousers

Resistance and Mobility

The motocross trousers must withstand falls, abrasion against the bike, and the heat from the engine, while allowing total freedom of movement for standing, crouching, and placing a foot in a bend. They are made from a thick, durable fabric, complemented by stretch panels at the knees and crotch. They are worn over knee pads and tucked into boots.

The Rest of the Outfit

Cross outfits also include:

• Jersey.
• Gloves.
• Underwear.

The entire outfit can be found on the cross outfits page.

The Reinforcements

On the inside of the knees, reinforcements made of leather or heat-resistant fabric protect against contact with the bike and the exhaust. The waist is adjustable with a ratchet buckle for a precise fit. High-end models, like the Troy Lee Designs GP Pro or the Fly Racing Evolution, which are lighter and more ventilated, are designed for competition; the RST X-Raid, approved for use, targets enduro.

Women, Children, and Fitting

Women’s models, like the Fly Racing Lite, and children's models, like the Kenny Track or the Thor Sector, are tailored for their body shapes. Size is chosen with the knee pads worn underneath: the trousers should not pinch at the knees when crouched. The trousers typically match the jersey from the same collection. They should be washed inside out at thirty degrees after each muddy ride.

Good Deals

Good deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearances, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent out within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school promotions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose the size of motocross trousers?

Cross trousers are sized by waist measurement, often in inches. Choose a size that’s loose enough to fit over the knee pads, and check while crouching that the bottom stays tucked into the boots.

Cross trousers or enduro trousers, what's the difference?

Cross trousers, fitted and lightweight, are worn tucked into boots. Enduro trousers, often baggier, can be worn over the boots and feature pockets for long rides in any weather.

Which cross trousers to choose for riding in summer?

In very hot weather, opt for a lighter model with ventilated mesh panels to wick away sweat. The reinforcements in leather or durable fabric remain essential on the inside of the knees, in contact with the bike.

How to wash motocross trousers covered in mud?

Let the mud dry and then brush it off, or rinse with a gentle spray before washing. Then wash in a machine on a cold cycle, inside out, without fabric softener, and air dry: heat can damage the reinforcements and stretch panels.

How to equip a rider or a child with cross trousers?

Women’s versions have a more defined waist and wider hips. For a child, choose their current size rather than anticipating growth: if too long, the trousers can get caught and hinder their support.
