Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2009, according to reports.
The UKTV channel will host a two-hour live finale of the motocross competition from Battersea Power Station in London.
Around 17,000 fans are predicted to attend the event as 12 riders compete in stunt competitions to take the world title.
This will be preceded by four hour-long episodes featuring tour coverage from Canada, Spain, Mexico and Texas, US.
Retired mountain bike professional Rob Warner and former Ski Sunday host Ed Leigh will present the shows for Dave.
When it aired in 2008, the X-Fighters world tour represented the channel's first ever advertiser-funded series.
The weekly shows will premiere on July 28 this year and once again be backed by drinks brand Red Bull.
