"The editorial team, mainly made up of Steve Worland, Mike Davis, Guy Kesteven, Jez Loftus and Seb Rogers will have the opportunity to produce an extra two issues a year of product tests and reviews that should help the buying public through the melee of options, whether they be buying their first bike or upgrading to the highest level.

"Additionally, WMB will be available in more locations throughout the UK and the World as we start to distribute into the USA and Australia as well as travel points (train stations and airports) throughout the UK."
