Muc-Off has announced its official partnership with the 2026 UCI MTB World Championships in Val di Sole, Italy.
This year’s partnership builds on Muc-Off’s relationship with Val di Sole Bikeland, which began in 2025. As part of that initial collaboration, Muc-Off supported the bike park with its signature wash bay setup services, alongside continued investment in maintaining and enhancing the facilities.
Muc-Off will also have a strong presence on the start line, with a roster of elite athletes competing across both Downhill (DH) and Cross-Country (XC/XCO) disciplines. Teams representing Muc-Off at the Championships include Commencal Muc-Off by Riding Addiction, Specialized Gravity, Specialized Racing, Commencal Schwalbe Les Orres and BIXS Race Team. Together, they will compete at the highest level across both downhill and cross-country events.
“Partnering with the UCI MTB World Championships in Val di Sole is a huge moment for Muc-Off. This is the pinnacle of mountain bike racing, and to be involved at this level for the first time reflects how far we’ve come as a brand,” said Alex Trimnell, Owner and CEO of Muc-Off. “Val di Sole has already proven to be an incredible partner, and we’re excited to build on that relationship while supporting athletes performing at the very highest level of the sport.”
Fabio Sacco, Director of Val di Sole Tourism Board and Grandi Eventi Val di Sole, added: “Their passion for performance, innovation and rider support aligns perfectly with our vision for Val di Sole. Together, we aim to deliver an unforgettable experience for athletes and fans alike, while continuing to invest in the future of mountain biking in our region.”
