Off-Road Riding Around Estonia

Off-Road Riding Around Estonia

Estonia is a small country located on the Baltic Sea. It has a great off-road riding scene. Motocross is most popular in Estonia, and races take place on closed circuits. It can be pretty tricky to ride in Estonia because races happen rain or shine — even in the snow! Estonia has riders of all ages. Some kids start as young as 5 years old. In Estonia, there are both indoor and outdoor tracks, and miles and miles of beautiful forests for off-road riding.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Rabaconda 3-Minute Mousse Changer is made in Estonia. Rabaconda owners Jakob Saks (sales and marketing) and Tõnu Kallast (product engineer and developer) were first contacted by the Finnish Motorcycling Federation to make a better changer. They improved the design and started manufacturing it in Estonia in 2012. It was the first in a growing line of innovative motorsport products designed by riders.
