Asia’s Biggest Off Road Gathering – 2014 ALXA 亚洲最大越
在中国乃至全世界，很多人都忽略了中国的越野车的市场，这是由于很多人只关注中国的上海和广东这些地区，人们看到的以民用轿车为主，而不容易看到一些大型和超巨型的吉普、皮卡和多用途重车。
但在中国广大的北方地区，以北京作为中心，所有北京邻近的周边地区均是崎岖山地、沙漠和越野道路，这些专门的吉普车、皮卡和多功能车辆是这些地方居民的最佳交通工具，因此我们可以看到大量的多用途重型车辆穿梭在北京、河北，青海，宁夏，内蒙、新疆、西藏地域。
越野一族传媒集团，是中国最大的越野汽车网站和杂志出版集团，在很长一段时间里，它已成为中国越野车商业和运动媒体的主导力量，并有大量FB报导的文章在国内为人所知，给了FB集团聚集了数百万的会员根基。
因此在过去的几年里，越野一族集团在宽广的内蒙古省南部的阿拉善镇政府的支持下，开始了一年一度的阿拉善越野英雄会，参加的人车数规模也一年比一年多，2013年参加英雄会的人数创下了新的记录的来了14000多辆越野车和将近50,000人在十一国庆的这六天里聚集这里，让阿拉善成为了世界上第二大的越野车人集会，仅次于美国的格拉姆斯。
据一族集团报导，2014年阿拉善越野英雄会将会成为更大的集会，预计将有近4万辆各种车辆和8万多人参与， BG受邀参加了这次活动并在主营地里拿到了BG的展位，
BG团队由Steven，BG西班牙工程师Victor，工程师小姜和其他销售/技术人员兵分2路，从BG北京的1250公里和从上海开了2000多公里的车程直奔阿拉善，从9月29日出发30日到达阿拉善便立马开始在主营地搭建我们的展区，整个活动就在阿拉善旁边的腾格里沙漠的中间。
在接下来的三天里，成千上万的不同品牌的和不同改装的越野车纷纷来到了活动现场，整个沙漠地区都活跃了起来，他们到达后开始搭建帐篷，用了接下来的几天几夜尽情感受活动气氛。
活动的商业区在主营地的主干道上，商业区集中了很多越野改装主打品牌、供销商和越野汽车厂家。BG主要展出的是四轮产品，如Ohlins减震、Brembo刹车, Sabelt护具, Stilo头盔， 另外还有摩托车产品，这吸引了不停的参观者过来观看这些展示品。 最重要的活动就是Steven带了我们的工程师团队去拜访其他参展商的展位尤其是在改装店家这一块，由于BG代理的Ohlins减震在专业越野车里有很大的占有率，所有人都希望与BG在Ohlins, Brembo, Sabelt 和Stilo产品上达成合作。
在这个英雄会里，越野全地形车（ATV）和重型多功能车（UTV）(Polaris, Cam-an, Polar Cat)，已经成为极为重要的一部分， 由于这两年中国在主推ATV和UTV的全国性越野赛事， 令到这些车辆的保有量极为庞大，这些赛事和活动成为了我们需要重点开发我们产品的另一个巨大的市场。
BG在这次英雄会前已经拜访了很多的ATV/UTV越野代理商，改装店家， 在这次阿拉善英雄会中再次跟这些店家见面再度详谈更多合作的协定，BG很多高性能产品如ohlins 避震、Brembo刹车，bazzaz改装电脑、高性能排气系统，车手安全装备如Sabelt和stilo都有产品提供给这些车种， BG的技术团队将在阿拉善英雄会结束后继续跟进这些合作伙伴。
阿拉善英雄会官方开幕是10月3日，到10月6日结束，阿拉善政府最后报道为参加车辆约4万台，参加人员8万多人。参加英雄会的报道为越野车辆2万多台，人员4万多人。
