A '''Motocross motorcycle''' (often shortened to MX or MotoX) is a form of motorcycle sport or all-terrain vehicle racing held on enclosed off road circuits as opposed to an [[Enduro]]. Motocross is derived from the French, and traces its origins to British Scrambling competitions. The name "motocross" is a portmanteau derived from the words "Motorcycle" and "Cross Country". | A '''Motocross motorcycle''' (often shortened to MX or MotoX) is a form of motorcycle sport or all-terrain vehicle racing held on enclosed off road circuits as opposed to an [[Enduro]].

Solo machines have engines ranging in displacement size from 50[[cc]] to 650cc. In the early years of motocross, the 500cc class was considered the premier division. However, as technology progressed, the open class bikes became more powerful and fewer riders were able to ride them at their limits. The 250cc bikes also became faster with newer technology and were more manageable thus, they eventually superseded the 500cc bikes and became the premier class. | Solo machines have engines ranging in displacement size from 50[[cc]] to 650cc.
