Motocross Aesthetics: 5 Ways to Create a Unique Bike

Motocross bikes have one of the most unique looks. If you own one and want to make it even better and add a personal touch, there are some things you can do. Things that will make your bike even more special and one of the prettiest on the track. Plus, you can use these changes to cover some damage to the bike's body.

One of the best ways to customise your bike and create something unique is to add custom graphics. It doesn’t matter if you’re just a weekend rider or a professional rider, adding them to your bike can completely transform the way it looks and feels. They can be the perfect styling detail to express your personality. There are plenty to choose from in the Australian market.

One of the most popular graphic manufacturers is KTM. They're synonymous with the oldest of all trail events. They have a long and rich history of creating iconic motor pieces for over 60 years. Every set of custom-made, superior-quality KTM decals is made with so much care and precision. The full graphic kit includes a radiator shroud set, front and side number boards, air box decals, front and rear fender decals, fork guard decals and swing arm decals.

Ordering them from the right company can give you a unique, detailed bike you’ll love riding around. You can add your own logo, a number you love or anything else you have in mind. Almost anything is possible. To make these kits, manufacturers use high-quality materials like Ultracurve X1 print film which prevents bubbles from forming during application and premium clear overlaminate that’s specifically designed for this purpose.

You may feel overwhelmed in the beginning because of how many choices you have, but knowing what you want can make things much easier. The first thing to think about is your bike's make and model. Every kit is pre-cut to fit a certain bike and you have to know the exact make and model. Always go for thicker materials because they’re much more durable and protective. Thinner ones are easier to install but won’t last as long.

If you don’t want to get the full kit, you can always choose just the sections you want. When it comes to colour and design the options are endless. Brighter and bolder colours can make your bike stand out in the crowd. But if you want something more subtle, you can go with black, white, grey and other neutrals. You can do the installation yourself. However, if you don’t feel confident you can do it, it’s a good idea to hire a professional.

Another way to customise your bike is to add stickers. They're the perfect way to decorate your bike and express your unique style. Another reason why you should choose them is that they can represent your brand or your team. The bike will look cool and unique with the custom colours and logos. Plus, it’ll be easier to identify your ride when you’re at a gathering where there are hundreds of bikes.

You don’t have to buy pre-made stickers, you can easily design them on your own just like with the KTM decals. Try a combination of text and images. The text can be your name or the name of your brand, a catchy phrase or a simple quote. Images add a visual interest and make the logo more memorable. This is especially important if you’re in a team.

Style-wise you can go in any direction. There are cool stickers with clean and sharp lines, funny stickers with some fun characters, classic designs to make the sticker timeless or even something vintage to give the bike an old-school feeling. It'll be nice if you choose a colour that matches your bike’s aesthetics, and a shape to complement its shape. When it comes to size, you can play with bigger and smaller ones.

Your bike deserves the best seats you can find. But besides being comfortable, your seat can also be pretty and stylish. Having custom seat covers can completely change the bike’s look. You can even match them with your KTM graphics kits to create a cohesive look. Seats are basically a blank canvas you can use to represent your personality and lifestyle.

Make sure you choose a reliable supplier. Someone who has experience in this business and a lot of satisfied customers. Book a session, tell them your ideas for the design and you’ll work together on getting what you want. Don't shy away from bold colours. They can make your bike stand out and give it more character. Some people even like to incorporate patterns as well, which can be really fun.

The fun shouldn’t stop when the sun drops below the horizon. You should be able to ride your bike when the sun goes down as well. This is where custom lighting comes into play. Cruising through the night with amazing visibility and a customised light can be a life-changing experience.

There are many different lighting options on the market. Invest in under-glow LED kits to illuminate your dirt bike's underbelly and give it an ethereal glow while you ride in the dark. Another alternative is to add LED lighting upgrades to enhance your visibility during your night rides. With all of these options, you could customise the look of your bike to fit your personal style while still staying safe on the road.

Besides making your bike unique, handlebar pads can make it even more comfortable. They're a great way to infuse some personality into the bike and give you a firm and snug grip. Customised pads can have anything you want, bright colours, patterns and even your name on them. The pads will also lessen vibrations and be a unique form of self-expression.
