Motorcycle trials, also termed observed trials, is a non-speed competition on specialized motorcycles. Trial motorcycles are distinctive in that they are extremely lightweight, and since they are designed to be ridden standing up, they have no seats. Also, their suspension travel is shorter than other off-road bikes, such as motocross or enduro motorcycles. In trials competitions, the riders surmount obstacles and points are deducted if the rider puts his feet on the ground, goes outside the marked course, or fails to clear an obstacle. The sports of trials is administered internationally by the FIM.
