Malevil Cup is one of the oldest and most prestigious mountain bike marathons in the Czech Republic. This year’s 27th edition attracted nearly one thousand riders from eleven countries. On the routes leading through the Lusatian and Zittau Mountains, competitors faced not only long climbs and technical sections, but also rain and mud, which turned the race into a true test of physical and technical preparedness.
As a partner of the event, we were proud to be part of this exceptional race, and we were even more delighted by the performance of Filip Adel, who claimed victory on the flagship 100-kilometre course.
A Race That Tests Both Riders and Equipment
Malevil Cup is a race where performance alone is not enough. Muddy sections, wet roots, rocky descents and long hours in the saddle place extreme demands on equipment. It is precisely in these conditions that the importance of properly selected tyres becomes evident.
We are proud that Filip Adel has placed his trust in Rubena Tyres for many years and that our products performed flawlessly in the conditions that prevailed at this year’s Malevil Cup. Challenging terrain, changing surfaces and several hours of intense racing are exactly the environment for which we develop our racing MTB tyres.
SCYLLA in the Conditions It Was Designed For
The SCYLLA model is one of our most versatile XC and marathon tyres. It combines a fast-rolling tread pattern with sufficient side support for high cornering grip, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of courses and riding conditions.
Thank You for the Great Atmosphere
Throughout the race day, we were also present at Malevil Cup with our Rubena Tyres booth, where we had the opportunity to meet many riders, fans and customers. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their experiences, or came for advice on tyre selection.
Congratulations to Filip Adel on another victory, and thank you to the Malevil Cup organisers for delivering such a well-prepared event. We are already looking forward to the next edition and to the new sporting stories that this legendary race will bring.
Malevil Reaches Even Greater Heights
This year’s edition once again demonstrated why Malevil Cup ranks among the most important mountain bike marathon races in the Czech Republic. A demanding course, strong competition, excellent organisation and a unique atmosphere.
The organisers are now promoting another major milestone. In 2027, Malevil Cup will host the Czech National Marathon Mountain Bike Championships, bringing even greater prestige to this traditional event and likely attracting even stronger competition to the starting line.
