Two-wheeled Edition
Even if you’re not a four-wheel fan, you’ve probably seen the incredible skills Ken Block has in a car—his wildly popular Gymkhana videos are basically drifting on steroids. The Husqvarna 501, meanwhile, is a bike that I’ve spent many hours on across the Mojave Desert of Southern California. What I have not done is ride the 501 on a motocross track like Ken has been doing with his personal build. Some of the most fun two-wheeled machines I’ve tested are the ones that can handle motocross one day and trail riding the next. Between Husqvarna and Matt Jory at Proven Moto, the Husqvarna 501 seems to be the perfect fit for the do-it-all Ken Block.
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.
