2024 Turns out the new year will be a big one for anniversaries in the world of motorcycling. It’s the 100th year for both motocross as a sport—the first “scrambles race” was held in England in 1924—and the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), founded that same year. It’s also the 50th season for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. And 1974 was the first year of production for both Kawasaki’s KX line and Yamaha’s YZ models, as well as the birth of Fox Racing.
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.
