some salesman came to my door back in like july and talked me into buying a 1 year sub to dirt rider because he told me it was for quads but its not... im not a big dirtbike guy unless its supercross, but the magazine is really good.

It pretty much talks about Supercross, nationals, GNCC, and Worcs i think too..


I like it!

since QUAD mag in gone i have gone to dirtwheels and dieselpower.

If you like more of testing bikes and bike shootouts I would recomend dirtbike mag, if you like more of the supercross seen i would go with transworld mx

used to get dirtwheels, it was nice to get the updates and such but the shoot outs always seemed a bit biased imo. hard to say though.

That's not true. They praise whatever is most recent, whatever is new. It's just also happens that Honda never really comes out with anything new, so it only SEEMS like they're biased against Honda.

Look back at the history, whatever the shootout is, the newest quad is always the "winner."

You are right in that respect, honda never comes out with new stuff they stick to the same stuff over and over and over.

And your right about the shootouts, whatevers new always wins lol.

i totally forgot about racerx! and yeah, i just like dirtwheels for the letters, over the bars, parting shot sections and to see whats new with stuff on the quad scene then come here for the real truth and i like looking through the ads for new parts out and new places to buy things. motocross transworld seems like theyd have a pretty good update on the whole moto seen and have good reviews on all the new products. plus theyve got them posters :p and when you get a subscription now, you get a pair of oneal mx socks what a deal maker!

Ive been getting ATVRider ever since QUAD went out. Its way better than dirtwheels, and they have the sickest builds and good event coverage. Good magazine.

Oh yeah they switched to Renthal adds a little while ago, but I always remembered Yamaha adds.

my exact reason for not renewing lol. i have nothing against yamaha or anything no matter if it was really better or not but judging from their comments it seemed it was never the best talked of machine out of the bunch and seemed to come out winning every shoot out.

lol

i agree with all though on the newest things winning.

Dirt wheels is the absolute worst. There reviews are horrible and the content makes no sense. I can remeber the yamaha yfz coming out, they said the suspension was as good as anything aftermarket, WOW. And then you have their first person review writing. "You snick the atv into first gear and let the clutch out, then you come around the turn and hit a table top" They are the only magazine that I have ever read write reviews like that, not sure if they still do, I stopped subscribing a long time ago. While it was around QUAD was the best thing out there then my subscription was switched to transworld mx and I am happy with it. ATV insider seems to be alright as well.
