Unique features

Founded in 1989, Dirt Rag is an independently owned mountain bike magazine that enjoys worldwide distribution. The magazine focuses on mountain bikes and their riders, but it also embraces all aspects of bicycle culture. The magazine is known for thorough and honest product reviews, a unique perspective on cycling, and original bicycle-related literature and art.

Each year, Dirt Rag holds a reader submitted fiction contest. Readers are petitioned to submit an original work of fiction. The best are selected and published in the magazine and the winners receive prizes.

Dirt Rag celebrates a grassroots connection to its readers and coverage of neglected niches of the bicycle world.
