Track details

MotocrossSandJumpsFastTechnicalTight

Soil when dry

Dry sand gets deep and physical - the front wants to knife in; traction comes from throttle and the rear suspension.

Soil after rain

Damp sand hooks up and gets faster - more grip, but heavier, blunt braking zones.

LengthImport: 1,200 m

MSC Hof in the Westerwald has existed since 1971 and has moved its communication to a dedicated Klubraum app - training dates and information run there rather than primarily on the website. For newcomers there is Motocrossland in Hof, an entry-level programme run with Collin Dugmore. The track measures 1200 metres on sand and is fast, tight and technically laid out, with built jumps. Short sand with plenty of corners is exactly the combination in which cornering technique is learned fastest.

Recommendation

Your sand setup fits: slightly softer fork, watch bottoming resistance at the rear.
Warm the tires up, take the first laps easy.

What to expect

Biggest challenge: Rear pogos/swims in deep sand Go to diagnosis →
Typical setup problem: Rebound is too fast for sand - slow it down (fewer clicks) so the rear stops pogoing.
Riding-technique focus: In sand, the throttle is your suspension Go to the technique guide →
