Objective: To investigate the incidence, mechanisms, types of injury, most affected anatomical regions, and the factors leading to injuries in trail bikers.

Methods: This was observational retrospective research, analyzing 47 trail bikers. Data were collected through application of a referenced morbidity survey (MRI), which included information on injuries and their mechanisms.

Results: The with the highest incidence were abrasion and bruise, and the most affected anatomical regions were the shoulder and knee. And the most common injury mechanism was skidding or loss of traction.

Conclusion: Trail bikers are exposed to risk factors and, consequently, to falls, and it is important to develop more protective equipment, especially for the shoulder and knees.
