Dirt Bike magazine is the premier publication for the dirt enthusiast. Because the magazine covers the gamut of the sport—from woods racing, motocross, closed-course off-road, and the blossoming dual-sport and adventure bike world—our readers aren’t shoehorned into a trackonly publication. For over 40 years, Dirt Bike magazine has offered high-end race tests, long-term evaluations, large sections of hop-ups and technical features, and stayed ahead of the trends to keep our readers informed. Dirt Bike is STILL the #1 newsstand-selling off-road motorcycle magazine, and now with the power and immediate, single-click, worldwide reach of our NEW Mobile App version to market your company’s products to a fast-growing segment of off-road consumers. Dirt Bike offers you the best growth opportunities across all media platforms in the industry. If you have a product or service for motocross, off-road, enduro, desert, dual sport, adventure or hare scrambles, Dirt Bike remains your #1 and most cost-effective choice.

I feel that Dirt Bike magazine has been—and continues to be—a great resource for riders and racers in our industry. The [magazine and its staff] have a consistency of being honest and realistic in their reports, and I feel a common appeal to the everyday rider and racer. I am not much of an online guy, so I still enjoy the fact that we can have something tangible in our hands to read, not only today but in 20 years.
