Gravel World Champion 2026

Magnus Bak Klaris wins the UCI Gravel World Championships

In Nannup, Western Australia, Magnus Bak Klaris pieced together the race of his life to win the rainbow jersey. Magnus was one of the key riders throughout the challenging 144-kilometer hilly course, alongside his Danish teammates who animated the race as the strongest nation. In the end, Magnus came out on top in a four-man sprint to claim his biggest win yet. 

We've worked with Magnus the last two seasons on PAS Racing and we've celebrated victories in big gravel races before, like Santa Vall, The Rift, and the Gravel Earth Series overall title - but the UCI Gravel World Championships takes it to another level.

Besides being an incredibly strong and race-savvy rider, Magnus is one of the kindest and most humble guys you'll meet in elite cycling. So, we couldn't be happier for him!

Before the race in Australia, we caught up with Magnus to deliver him a factory optimised UFO Ultra Endurance Wax chain that he used on race day. We like to think that helped just a little bit in his big win.

Designed to offer best-in-class durability in challenging coditions, UFO Ultra Endurance Wax is a long-lasting submersive wax chain lubricant. Ridden to victory in the World's biggest gravel races like Traka 360 and Unbound 200 - and now also the Gravel World Championships.
