Here at BikeBound, we’re big fans of scramblers, desert sleds, dirt bikes, rally bikes, and adventure machines — pretty much anything with knobby tires, skid plates, and an appetite for the dirt. So are you, our readers, as nearly half of the machines that made our list of the Top 10 Custom Motorcycles of 2025 were built for trails as well as tarmac.
We’re following up with a list of the most popular scramblers, dirt bikes, rally bikes, and desert sleds we featured this year, based on traffic and social engagement data — this is the most objective ranking we could achieve. Without further ado, here are the BikeBound Top 10 Scramblers and Dirt Bikes of 2025, presented in alphabetical order by builder.
