Fun Bikes: YCF BIGY FACTORY DAYTONA 190 MX
The pit-bike craze is back and in full effect! I set out to find a different pit bike than we normally might see here in the United States, and I came across the YCF brand. In 2004, Yannick Coquard, a pro European motocross racer who rode pit bikes to cross-train in the winter, joined forces with Dimitri Bera, a high-level French technician who now lives in China overseeing YCF’s development. The YCF story started when Yannick decided to improve the quality and reliability of the pit bike he owned before starting YCF. Step by step, he modified his bike until finally deciding to build his own, leading to the creation of the YCF brand.
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.
