What is Motocross?

Motocross is a type of off-road motorcycle racing where you will find motorcyclists riding over different kinds of terrains on off-road circuits. Motocross courses are around one to three miles long and participants will have to deal with the challenge of other riders and the racing conditions along the way. This is what makes motocross such a demanding sport, as no two courses are alike.

If you are looking to meet bill payments, meet monthly mortgage commitments or provide for a family in the event of an accident then you may want to consider various options for financial protection. Sports insurance experts at Sports Financial Services will be happy to discuss your motocross rider insurance needs.

How does Motocross rider insurance work?

No matter how cautious you are and how many precautions you take when motocross riding, accidents do still happen. In the case that an injury or accident happens, it is reassuring to know that you and your loved ones have some level of financial protection. Having cover such as motocross life insurance or income protection cover could provide you with some financial peace of mind. 

The risks inherent in motorcycle racing can result in the sport being rated as a hazardous sport by some underwriters. This has traditionally meant that motorcycle racers have had to pay more for their life insurance and receive restrictions or loadings for illness cover. At Sports Financial Services we will seek to understand you and your motocross participation and discuss the financial protection options available to you.
