Schwalbe British 4X Series:

The Schwalbe British 4X Series will be run over 7 rounds in 2014. With increased rider numbers in 2013, Chris Roberts, the series organiser, is ecstatic with the progress 4X has made in the UK over the past few years:

‘4X here in the UK is growing year on year. The atmosphere at every round is fantastic and we can’t wait to see more new faces in 2014. Schwalbe have been a fantastic partner for 4X and we look forward to many more years working with them.’

Dave Taylor, the marketing manager for Schwalbe UK, is a huge fan of 4X racing:

‘The British 4X Series has been fantastic for Schwalbe over the past 4 years and we are more than happy to be the title sponsor of the Series again in 2014. We have the established, specific 4X tyres which use ‘Gatestar’ compound that continue to be the benchmark in 4X racing. 4X racing is the most action packed Mountain Biking you could ever hope to witness. We love it and can’t wait for the 2014 season to start.
