The rising popularity of dirt bikes in Nepal is more visible now than ever. At the moment, many existing and new companies are in the race to bring dirt bikes to the Nepali market. Back then, people only used to have a few options to choose from and the price for dirt bikes was quite expensive.
The scenario now has changed a lot; the people now have multiple options to choose from and also the price has been made more affordable. Power adjustments on the bikes are done to make them more affordable. Also, the bikes are manufactured as supermoto so that the rider can get the best of both dirt and city worlds from a single bike.
