The Desert Barren (The Desert Road)
Riding off-road in a desert loosens the top layers of soil, sand and rock. This make it much more vulnerable to erosion with the next heavy rain.
Friction between the tires and the road increases when vehicles are on the road. The friction helps the tires grip the road surface, allowing the vehicles to accelerate, decelerate, and corner effectively.
