The Auto-Cycle Union (ACU), the governing body for motorcycle sport in Great Britain, will exhibit at the inaugural Dirt Bike Live event at Birmingham’s NEC on 6-7 February 2027. Dirt Bike Live, running alongside the Arenacross Championship, aims to become a central annual meeting point for the UK off-road motorcycle sport and industry. The ACU will provide information on sporting regulations, event affiliation, and licensing for existing and prospective organisers and competitors. The event will bring together manufacturers, distributors, retailers, race teams, and governing bodies, establishing a new showcase for the sector.
With the ACU now joining a growing list of exhibitors and partners, the event continues to build momentum ahead of its February debut.
Matthew Edwards-Wear, chief executive officer of the ACU, said: “We are delighted that the Auto-Cycle Union will be attending Dirt Bike Live 2027 at Birmingham’s BP Pulse Arena. As the national governing body for motorcycle sport in Great Britain, the ACU is proud to support an event that brings together all sectors of the motorcycle industry alongside the excitement of the ACU British Arenacross Championship.
“Dirt Bike Live provides a fantastic opportunity to engage directly with riders, organisers, industry partners and fans of the sport. Our stand will be staffed by knowledgeable members of the ACU team, who will be on hand to assist existing and prospective event organisers looking to become affiliated with the ACU, answer questions about sporting and technical regulations, and guide competitors on obtaining or renewing their competition licences.
“We also warmly welcome anyone new to motorcycle sport and interested in getting involved, whether as a rider, official, volunteer, or organiser. The ACU is committed to making motorcycle sport accessible, safe and enjoyable for all, and Dirt Bike Live is the ideal platform to showcase the many opportunities available across our disciplines.
“We look forward to meeting visitors throughout the show and working with the wider motorcycle community to continue growing and strengthening our sport.”
