Best Beginner Dirt Bikes for Women

Wondering what dirt bike is best for women? This article covers some things to consider when looking for a beginner Dirt Bikes for Women.

Finding the right dirt bike when you are just getting started can be a bit scary. There are LOTS of different dirt bike models, sizes, and motors.

What Size of Dirt Bike should I get?

This depends on how tall you are and what type of dirt bike riding you would like to do.

The seat height of a dirt bike can be from 30 inches to 38 inches. What do I mean when talking about the seat height.

Its distance from the ground to the top of the seat. When you seat on the seat this height.

We can break the type of dirt bike motors into 2 different categories:

• 2 Stroke
• 4 Stroke

Now. There are liquid-cooled 4 strokes and none liquid-cooled (air-cooled) 4 strokes. Generally speaking, a liquid-cooled 4 stroke is going to produce more power and this is why the motor cannot just be air-cooled.

An air-cooled dirt bike is typically put in dirt bikes that are softer and easier to use. 

This leads to the next thing we need to talk about….

Where do you plan on riding your dirt bike?

1. Trail riding
2. Hard Enduro
3. Motocross

If you are just getting started you probably want to get a trail riding dirt bike first.

When you first get into dirt biking its important to get a dirt bike that is easy to ride and not super scary. This will help you build up the proper skills before you move to a taller more powerful dirt bike.

The KLX140G is an affordable dirt bike for women who are beginners. Its only 218 lbs with an 33.9 inch seat height. What makes the Kawasaki KLX 140G perfect for beginners?

The KLX 140G model comes with larger tires. In fact full-sized 21″ and 18″ tires. This really helps the dirt bike roll over obstacles that the other smaller tires would struggle with.

Having full-sized tires also allows you to have a TON of really good tire options. You can put in Tubliss System for more grip, no flats, and a cushier ride.

Price: $4,449

• Air Cooled 4 Stroke 223cc
• Seat Height 34.3 in
• Weight 251 lbs

The Yamaha TTR 230 trail dirt bike is a great option for a lady that is just getting into riding. It has a taller seat height than the KLC140G and the CRF125F Big Wheel dirt bikes. It also has a larger 223cc air-cooled 4 stroke motor. The only issue I have with the TTR230 is the weight. It weighs around 250lbs which is in the same ballpark as the full-sized more powerful dirt bikes. This is the reason why the 230cc dirt bikes typically are lower down the list on the best dirt bikes for ladies who are just getting into dirt biking. 

You want to be able to lift the dirt bike off the ground and 250lbs is a lot to lift. However, they are still a really fun and reliable dirt bike to ride.

Wanting to choose a different dirt bike than what we mentioned in the Top 3?

While these 3 dirt bikes are on the list for the top 3 women beginner dirt bikes there really are lots of solid options to get started with. Below we are going to also show you the different options you have if you don’t want to pick from the list above.
