The Bikes & Kit

Speedway is a very specialised sport, especially when it comes to the bikes
used. There are only 2 major speedway manufactures at the moment, Jawa (Czech) who are our engine makers and GM (Italy). Other companies used to make
speedway engines when they were up right in the frame (J.A.P & Honda), but
since the laydown engines where introduced its been Jawa and GM all the way.

The bikes are also very powerful compared to other off-road sports, all professional competition bikes are 500cc in speedway. The other trademark of speedway is that the bikes have no brakes. The riding kit is no diffferent
than any other off-road racing, body armour and helmets etc are all the same. The only difference is that speedway riders need to where specified crashhelmet colours during races for identification and speedway riders have steel shoes on there left foot.
