It's race week! 🚲🔥
The stage is set for the grand finale of the 2026 ORYX UNBOUND SERIES—the ultimate showdown at the BATTLE OF THE BIKES!
Race week has officially arrived. Across the historic landscapes, the tension is electric as riders gather for the grand finale of the Oryx Unbound Gravel Series: the ultimate showdown at the Battle of the Bikes.

As the sun prepares to rise on Saturday, the mass start will unleash a wave of grit and determination across all three signature distances. In the high-speed Dash, explosive young guns and fast-paced sprinters are ready to lock horns in a flat-out drag race where tactical positioning from the gun will mean everything.

Meanwhile, the mid-distance Quest arena is set for a masterclass in tactical warfare; seasoned diesel engines and clever tacticians have been circling each other all season, and they are primed to break away on the rugged gravel sectors to fight tooth and nail for the series crown.

And then, looking out toward the horizon, lies the Unbound. This is where legends are forged and pure psychological endurance meets physical breaking point. The top contenders in the series hunt are hiding nothing, playing their cards close to their chests as they prepare to dance on the pedals through hours of relentless terrain and crushing isolation. Who has paced their season right to peak on this exact day? Who will crack under the pressure, and who will seize glory in the closing kilometres?
The stage is set, the history books are open, and only the strongest will survive the ultimate test.
Let the battle commence!
