In just a few weeks, on 25-26 April, the Panaracer Dirty Reiver will return to Kielder Castle grounds for its tenth year.
This year, Zyrofisher are bringing seven brands along to offer support to all riders tackling the extensive forest access road network in the Northern English Borders.
As one of Europe’s highest profile (and longest!) gravel events ZyroFisher are incredibly proud to be partners of Dirty Reiver on the great occasion of its 10th year. Â
With the Panaracer flag flying high on Keilder Castle as title sponsor, Camelbak presenting and Selle San Marco and Unior as event partners (with the latter offering mechanical assistance) we truly believe that supporting the event and all its participants is the perfect place for us to deliver our mission of connecting the rider to the world’s premium brands. We see many familiar faces year after year which serves as great testament to the event, the organisation and the course and we look forward to seeing them again next year for the 10th edition! – Tony Vickers, Head of Brands at ZyroFisher

Those visiting the stand during the weekend are also invited to take part in two challenges:Â spin the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ to win freebies and the ‘Tyre Change Challenge’, for a chance to win the fastest tyre change of the day.

The fastest person to change a tyre on Friday will also win one pair of Panaracer GravelKing tyres of their choice.
Selle San MarcoÂ
Using the idmatch Smart Calliper, riders will be able to get sized for their perfect fit, plus demo a saddle on their own bike ahead of Saturday’s main event. The perfect opportunity to try out Selle San Marco’s Design & Innovation Award-winning Mantra saddle, recognised as a benchmark in off-road cycling performance.Â
CamelbakÂ
Along with exclusive event offers, Camelbak will trade new Dirty Reiver branded MultiBev and Podium bottles, which were a sellout success at last year’s event.Â
UniorÂ
Unior mechanics will be offering Neutral Tech Support throughout the event to make sure competitors’ rides are Reiver-ready.Â
SRAMÂ
Event participants are invited to enjoy a cup of coffee and hang out in the SRAM chillout lounge while one of their expert SRAM Tech mechanics checks over their ride. Riders are also invited to join them for a warmup ride out on Friday afternoon.Â
FenwicksÂ
Fenwicks will be running the bike wash back at the finish line to make sure everyone’s bikes get packed away sparkling clean.Â
Red BullÂ
Will be sure to keep all riders ‘flying’ and fuelled all weekend.
The support and belief that ZyroFisher and its many brands we have partnered with over the past 9 years for Dirty Reiver, as well as a number of our other events, has and continues to play an important part in the overall experience we provide our riders.
Activating leading brands from across the industry at the Dirty Reiver not only provides ZyroFisher with a great way to get its brands in front of target customers in the real world environment of gravel events, but it also adds further credibility around the event itself through education and inspiration for our riders, as well as keeping everyone riding if the unfortunate forgotten item from your kit bag risks curtailing your ride even before it’s begun! Â
Panaracer have supported the event since its infancy showing their commitment and leadership within gravel. With their new X1 range they continue to innovate and maintain their position at the forefront of this category and are the first choice for many of our Dirty Reiver riders. So, we thank all the team for their continued support and look forward to many years of collaboration ahead – Neil Atkinson, Focal Events Co-Director. Â
