The Beta AMA National Dual Sport Series, presented by Yuasa Battery, promises some of the best riding on the planet in 2020.

These great rides take you a little further off the beaten path and the routes are typically laid out by local clubs and promoters who know the best dirt roads and trails to ride on in their areas.

These rides, intended for serious off-road-oriented dual sport motorcyclists, are also family affairs.

AMA membership is required for these national-level events so if you are a Life Member you are in. For those who aren’t yet life members, a one-event pass may be purchased for $20 (only available for purchase at the event) or a full AMA membership for $49 (online or at the event).

Participants in the series also have the opportunity to win prizes from the series sponsors at the end of the year.
