Read our latest issue:

june 2026

In this month’s issue, we head to Austria’s Iron Giant, where Manuel Lettenbichler conquered the Erzbergrodeo for a fifth consecutive year, matching the event’s all-time victory record. We also travel to Japan for the opening round of the 2026 TrialGP season, where Toni Bou mastered a new race format and completed a perfect four-win weekend at Motegi.

Back in the United States, the AMA NATC Mototrials Championship continues in New Mexico, where high-grip rock, tight time limits, and unforgiving sections placed precision above outright aggression. Ohio Hard Enduro takes riders deep into the mine at Yellowbush, while Trystan Hart battles through the relentless terrain of the Locked-N-Loaded Hard Scramble.

On the off-road side, Ricky Russell dominates JDay at Budds Creek, Beta sweeps the podium at the Stag Enduro, Davis secures the U.S. Sprint Enduro crown, and Grant Baylor leads another Kawasaki podium sweep at the Cherokee National Enduro.

Brian Pierce sits down with eight-time National Enduro Champion Mike Lafferty to explore why the sport needed to evolve, while Abigail Buzzelli focuses on hopping in the June 10×12 Challenge. We also hear from Ohio Hard Enduro founder Chris Davis about building a regional championship from the ground up.

From world championship trials and the brutality of Erzberg to national enduro, grassroots racing, and rider development, the June issue captures the people, terrain, and determination driving motorcycle competition forward.

As always, there’s plenty more inside!!
