72 Hours of Pont-de-Vaux 2026: KUTVEK Graphics Kits Dominate the World Quad Championship

The 72 Hours of Pont-de-Vaux remains one of the must-attend events in international sport ATV racing.

For the 2026 edition, held from August 20 to 23, the World Quad Championship once again brought together the best riders and builders for an especially demanding endurance race. The premier event consists of 12 hours of racing, split into three stages of 3 hours, 5 hours, and 4 hours, on a roughly 4.1 km track.

This year, KUTVEK had an extra reason to follow the race closely:

all three podium finishers were equipped with KUTVEK graphics kits.

A powerful demonstration of the brand's standing in the world of sport quads and the Yamaha YFZ 450 R.

An International Podium at the 2026 World Quad Championship

After twelve hours of racing, victory went to the NX Concept team consisting of:

Randy Naveaux / Sylvain Petit / Antoine Cheurlin

The trio finished ahead of a second NX Concept machine ridden by:

Kevin Saar / Braxton Grosse / Brice Ford

Third place went to:

Chad Wienen / Christopher Tveraen / Mike Van Grinsven, racing with PSR By Rapport.

For Randy Naveaux, this win is especially significant as it marks his eighth victory at the Pont-de-Vaux World Quad Championship, making him the most decorated rider in the event's history.

A Podium Fully Decked in KUTVEK Colors

Beyond the sporting achievement, the 2026 edition holds special meaning for KUTVEK.

All three podium quads featured graphics by KUTVEK.

The two NX Concept machines and the PSR By Rapport quad were already officially part of teams partnered with KUTVEK.

Seeing these three quads take the top spots in one of the world's most prestigious ATV races is a testament to the work done with teams, riders, and builders.

The Yamaha YFZ 450 R: A Benchmark in Sport Quads

Looking at the entry list for the Pont-de-Vaux World Championship, one model stands out repeatedly:

the Yamaha YFZ 450 R.

The official 2026 lineup shows a strong presence of Yamaha YFZ450R, YFZ-R, and competition-spec builds based on this platform among the competing teams.

It's no coincidence that the Yamaha YFZ 450 R graphics kit holds a prominent place in KUTVEK's lineup.

In racing, graphics aren't just about making the quad look spectacular.

They also help instantly identify:

1. the team;
2. the riders;
3. the race number;
4. the partners;
5. the sponsors;
6. and the team's visual identity.

In a race like Pont-de-Vaux, where over a hundred quads may compete in the same event, this visual identity becomes crucial.
