In his first year competing on tarmac, Dixon came third in the Aprilia 125cc Superteens Championship. The winner that year was Chrissy Rouse, later competing against Dixon in the 2018 British Superbike Championship.

Dixon advanced up to the Aprilia RRV450 Challenge Championship racing Aprilia's twin cylinder four-stroke machine. Once again, he was third in the Championship that year.

Supersport 600 Championship In 2012, at 16 years of age, Dixon advanced to the British National Superstock 600 cc Championship, one of the support classes in the British Superbike Championship. He acquitted himself well on the Shaun Rose prepared, Moto Breakers Yamaha R6, finishing fourth in the Championship. If he had not crashed going over the mountain at Cadwell Park injuring his wrist, he could have finished higher than fourth.

In 2013, Dixon contested the year with a new team and a new championship. He moved up to the Supersport 600 Championship, riding for Craig Fitzpatrick's CF Motorsport team, on a Yamaha R6. After six rounds, he crashed heavily at Oulton Park and broke his scaphoid bone. This ended his season, he finished 16th in the championship.

Staying in the Supersport 600 Championship for 2014, Dixon rode for the Appleyard/Macadam/Doodson team again on a Yamaha R6. He finished the season in eighth position.

For 2015, Dixon joined the Smith's team riding a three-cylinder Triumph 675, and achieved third place in the Supersport 600 Championship.

British Superbike Championship Dixon moved up to the 2016 British Superbike Championship, and while it was originally planned that he would teaming up with Dave Tyson's Tsingtao Kawasaki team for the season, financial concerns led to the team not fielding a pair of riders that season, managing to start at only one round with Danny Buchan. Dixon was offered an alternative ride half way through the year, with Lee Hardy's Briggs Equipment BMW S1000RR, but after six rounds his brakes failed at Oulton Park, resulting in a broken hip, ending his season prematurely.

Dixon won both round-four races of the 2017 British Superbike Championship at Knockhill Racing Circuit. He finished sixth in the 2017 British Superbike Championship and was the youngest ever rider to make the final showdown, made up from the top six riders.

Dixon announced that he would stay with the Lee Hardy Racing/RAF Regular & Reserves Team in 2018, on a Kawasaki ZX10R 1000 cc machine in the 2018 British Superbike Championship. He finished his participation in the British Superbike Championship series in second position to champion Leon Haslam.
