Subscriber Growth

We have some of the most devoted readers in the industry. The number of magazine subscribers continues to grow each year. There was an increase of print subscriptions in 2025 of 6.2% compared to 2024. While the overall print industry may be shrinking, Racer X Illustrated is still thriving with even higher goals for 2026. With our in-depth perspective and industry leading coverage, every 2 out of 3 subscribers renews to Racer X Illustrated on a yearly basis for more content. 

The Power of Print

There’s nothing like getting a fresh copy of your favorite magazine in the mail. Taking a time out to unplug from the noise on the internet, Racer X transports our readers into timeless motocross and supercross stories not found anywhere else. In this distraction-free zone, print ads have staying power:

  • The average magazine gets passed to at least 1-3 other people.
  • Magazines become collectors items and are picked up days, months or even years later.
  • Ad recall, comprehension & engagement help make lasting impressions in meaningful ways.
  • When leveraged with QR codes, they synergistically bridge the print/digital gap.
  • 90% of Racer X advertisers are repeat customers on a 9-12x rate year after year.

Going Digital

Ditching the previous flip book-pinch and zoom style, our award-winning, vertically scrolling digital version is seamlessly integrated with racerxonline.com for a more user-friendly experience with the ease of access being prioritized. Our digitally-enhanced pages are second-to-none and allow for multimedia and hyper-targeted linking direct to your product page. 

The most exciting partner feature is that all ads are located outside the paywall - meaning all paying and non-paying audiences have the chance to see your message, regardless of being a subscriber. 

Digital Flexibility

Unique to our digital offering is the ability to insert catalogs at a much cheaper rate than printing 1000’s of print copies. Leverage our digital audience for your next product catalog!

Dealer Penetration

Consumer Influence

Racer X Magazine has shown over the years influence at all levels in the motocross industry food chain - consumers, dealer parts buyers and counter help, distributor buyers & road men and of course the ultimate customer - the rider himself or his parents.
