UK Dirt Bike Show wheels in the fans

Posted : 24-11-2005

Despite cold weather, this year's Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh Park in Coventry still managed to pull in the biking fans, with an estimated 21,000 turning up to see the latest bikes and kit.

The bike show, which ran last week, created an all time attendance record in the event's six year history as visitors braved the minus four degree temperatures to see the event and take part in the activities.

Off-road bikes and accessories, quad-bikes and displays and all manner of dirt-bike action in the Moto-X Live Action Arena thrilled biking enthusiasts from all over the country.

Aprilia, which was displaying at its first off-road event in 30 years, unveiled its revolutionary V-twin RXV and SXV dirt bikes to riders for the first time, and Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki were all in on the act as well.

Kevin Burk of KTM UK commented "This year's Dirt Bike Show has taken things to a new level and we’ve experienced an enthusiastic response from visitors.

"It's fantastic to see brands like Fox Racing Europe and No Fear Europe officially exhibiting in the UK – this is becoming an international event."
