S3 will return as the Exclusive Riding Apparel and Hard Parts Partner of X-Trial Leeds in 2027, continuing its long-standing relationship with event promoter Seven Three Events.
The Girona-based brand supported the final two editions of the DL12 Indoor Trial before backing the inaugural X-Trial Leeds in January 2026. Its return extends that partnership into a second year at the First Direct Bank Arena.
S3 has built an enviable reputation within the off-road motorcycle industry, combining innovation, extensive research and development, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Its products are trusted by riders across the globe, from enthusiastic amateurs to some of the biggest names in motorcycle sport.
Represented in the UK by John Shirt Motorcycles, S3 makes performance components for Trial, Enduro, Motocross and Adventure bikes. Its range includes footpegs, exhaust systems, pistons and air filters, alongside specialist riding kit and casual wear. The brand’s clothing collections include signature ranges associated with Billy Bolt, Dougie Lampkin and his sons plus Graham Jarvis too.
Jake Miller, speaking on behalf of Seven Three Events, said: “It is brilliant news to have a company that enjoys such a great reputation as S3 on board for X-Trial Leeds and to once again be able to count on their invaluable support as we embark on this new and exciting chapter for Seven Three Events. We share the same passion and vision for the sport and I am really looking forward to building upon our already strong relationship.”
Michel Kaufmann, S3 founder and owner, added: “It is always a pleasure to work with Jake and his team and after being involved with his previous projects we are only too happy to support their latest exciting venture. Their audience are our customers so as well as guaranteeing a spectacular evening of entertainment, X-Trial Leeds also gives us an incredibly professional platform on which to showcase our products in front of a very knowledgeable crowd.”
Preparations are underway for the 2027 edition, when the World’s best Trial riders will return to Leeds to take on a new set of sections inside the First Direct Bank Arena.
