Bombing down a singletrack is a pretty great feeling. But what makes a great downhill trail doesn’t necessarily make for great uphill riding. That’s why we’ve introduced new uphill routing which distinguishes between the trails you want to ride up, and the ones you want to ride down – and komoot is the only route planner that is smart enough to know the difference.
What’s changed?
It’s no longer about the most direct route to the top, but rather the most rideable route to get there. Komoot’s new uphill routing tries to avoid steep, unrideable segments, prioritizing gravel roads with a more gradual gradient. So what will your new rides look like?
- – Far fewer steep, unrideable uphill trails
- + More flatter paved roads on the uphill segments
Why the change, and why now?
Because you asked for it. We’ve reviewed routing feedback from hundreds of you, and it’s clear that uphill routing is a top priority amongst the mountain biking community. Useful features like the route surface and elevation profiles, and the community Highlights will work alongside the new uphill routing, to level up komoot, and your riding, in one swift move.
