Guide: How do you choose the right starting number for motocross?

Choosing the right motocross bib number isn't just about aesthetics - it's also about meeting competition rules and ensuring you're clearly visible on the track. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you make the right choice.

1. Follow the competition rules

Before choosing a start number, check with your race organizer or SVEMO to ensure that your numbers follow the size and color requirements.

2. Consider contrast and readability

To ensure that judges and timekeepers can easily read your start number during competition, it is important that the numbers are clear. Therefore, choose color combinations with strong contrast, such as black on white or white on black.

3. Size and location

Make sure the numbers are large enough to be visible from a distance and place them according to the organizer's guidelines, usually on the front and side panels.

4. Avoid common mistakes

  • Wrong placement: Numbers that are too high or too low can be difficult to see.\n
