[MotoFactory]

Do you remember the feel of glossy pages in your hand? It’s kinda like the internet except on paper. It doesn’t even need to be plugged in or connected to your WiFi. These old-school gems are called magazines, and we still make them. One every month, in fact. And you can get them delivered straight to your home! SUBSCRIBE TO DIRT BIKE MAGAZINE NOW and get 12 issues, an entire year of analog merriment just for you! Or if you’re uncomfortable staring at anything that isn’t a screen, you can grab a digital issue for only $9.99 a year.

Check out all the goods in our August issue, on newsstands now. New 2026 motocross and off-road models, our first impression of Suzuki’s new dual-sport DR-Z4S, we ride the 2026 Rieju MR Pro 300i two-stroke, and we take a look at the Ducati desmodromic valve system to understand more about what makes the all-new Ducati dirt bikes tick. Also get our update on the Triumph TF450-RC, our test on the Beta 390RR X-Pro, and see what happens when we boost Honda’s CRF250R to a higher level with dual-injectors.

ON THE COVER: Japan, Italy, China, and France provide a multinational view of the year to come.

BIKES

• PREVIEW:  FRESH DIRT FOR 2026
  The parade of 2026 models continues with first looks from Honda, Beta, Kove and Sherco. Stay tuned, there’s more to come.
• FIRST RIDE: RIEJU MR PRO 300i
  In the future, they say true innovation will come from small companies and unexpected places. The future, apparently, is here.
• UPDATE: TRIUMPH TF450-RC
  Last November we got just enough of Triumph’s new motocross bike to be hungry for more. Now we’re finally getting our fill.
• TEST: BETA 390RR X-PRO
  Race bikes are easy. They just have to go fast. Beta accepts the real challenge of building a trail bike that does everything else.
• IMPRESSION: SUZUKI DR-Z4S
  At the beginning of the millennium Suzuki changed the dual-sport game with the first chapter in the DR-Z saga. It took 25 years, but chapter two has finally arrived.
• DR-Z400S’ LIFE & TIMES
  For everything there is a season
• PROJECT: DUAL-INJECTOR HONDA CRF250R
  Honda boosted the CRF250R to a higher level for 2025. We take it even higher with a little help from the aftermarket.
• PROJECT BIKE SPOTLIGHT
  The KTM 350SX-F is a bike that blurs the line between classes. The guys at Boyesen bring it into focus with 450-class performance.

FEATURES

• DESMO FOR DUMMIES
  It seems like we just got used to the fact that motocross bikes even have valves. Now we have another lesson to learn as MX and road racing technologies merge.
• WHEN TEAM DIRT BIKE WENT SIDEWAYS
  Back in 1991, Ron attempted to ride a speedway bike for the first time in front of a rowdy crowd. He survived, but learned a lesson about staying in your own lane.
• RM ARMY BOOT CAMP
  Suzuki puts together a different kind of boot camp where the boots never get shined and the training results in big smiles.

RACING

• SEASON RESET: PRO MOTOCROSS KICKOFF
  It’s spring, so it’s time to leave the stadiums behind and go outdoors. It’s a big family reunion that starts on a SoCal Indian reservation.
• MOTOFEST
  Bud Feldkamp and Troy Lee love motocross. For a solid week, they turned San Bernardino, California, into the MX capital of the world.
• 0FF-ROAD REPORT
  America is full of dirt, and we make very good use of it. Here’s what happened in the world of off-road racing and what it meant.
• ERZBERG, 2025
  It’s time for Austria’s annual celebration of rocks, gravel, mud, hills, cliffs and talent—lots of talent.

DEPARTMENTS

• SADDLE
• MR. KNOW-IT-ALL
