Following the acquisition, Dirt Bike Rider is being relaunched as a high quality quarterly, reflected in its production values, writing, design and photography.

The relaunch will be supported through its website – www.dirtbikerider.com – and social media.

The first quarterly issue goes on sale on 15 January priced at £5.95. This bumper issue will include 116pp of features, Supercross season guide, an exclusive with MXGP world champ Tim Gajser, the stories behind off-road gods’ dirty tricks and a celebration of the British Champions.

Marketforce, the distributors, say that the quarterly magazine is the ‘coffee table’ read which will provide beautiful images and in-depth features to support the ‘day-to-day’ reporting on Dirtbikerider.com.
