The countdown is officially on. In just two weeks, the gravel world descends on Emporia, Kansas for one of the biggest events on the gravel calendar: Unbound Gravel.
Over 20 years, Unbound has earned its reputation as the ultimate proving ground. And while riders are dialling in final training blocks and tyre choices, behind the scenes the prep is just as intense.
At Muc-Off HQ, we’re loading up everything needed to keep bikes rolling fast through the chaos, from drivetrain protection and tyre sealant to post-race wash essentials. Because if there’s one thing guaranteed at Unbound, it’s that bikes are going to take an absolute beating.
What Makes Unbound Different?
Unlike traditional road racing, Unbound is as much about survival as it is speed. Flint, rock, and endless gravel sectors can make or break a race day. So, it’s best to line-up prepared.
A fast bike means nothing if your drivetrain is grinding itself into dust 100 miles in. Riders need setups that can handle everything Kansas throws at them, and products they trust when conditions go sideways.
What We’re Bringing
This year, the Muc-Off crew will be on-site supporting athletes, capturing content, and helping riders keep their bikes race-ready all week long.
Expect to see:
- Nanotech Bike Cleaner, for the pre-race clean
- Dark Energy Chain wax, for those dry and dusty conditions
- Ceramic Protection kit to give that paintwork an additional layer of protection
We’ll also be catching up with athletes and ambassadors throughout race week to hear how they’re preparing physically and mentally for one of the hardest days in cycling.
The Final Countdown
With just two weeks to go, the hard work is nearly done. Now it’s about fine-tuning, staying healthy, and hoping the legs show up on race day. We’ll see you in Emporia.
