We were up each morning at the crack of, well, mid-morning. We had an awesome breakfast in the beautiful hunting lodge where we were staying. We kitted up and stepped outside to see five brand-new Triumph Tigers, ready to roar around the scenic dirt roads and trails that crisscross Northern Michigan. It was like being a factory rider, only we were going on an adventure tour. But we did have a former factory rider leading the way: Michigan’s own Jeff Stanton, the six-time SX/MX champion, was our host. And like everything he’s done in his life—husband, father, racer, coach, businessman—he was doing it right.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
