Not sure where to take that sweet gravel bike? You can now find gravel routes on komoot, ready and waiting for your next ride. Head to the Routes tab to select ‘Gravel riding’ as your sport and start perusing the trails. Use the Filter menu to adjust for distance, elevation, and other options, like opting for a circular ride.  

Because gravel riding terrain is different in every region and every country, our suggested gravel routes are based on … Continue reading

There are two types of people in the world: Those who wing it, and those who gather all the information and make a plan. Our MTB router is now the perfect blend of both. It’s got the style of the see-what-happens folk, but the background planning of the local trail legend — full of knowledge on the exact trails to take for the best, most whoop-inducing ride. 

With improved trail knowledge and the ability to understand more intricate map data, … Continue reading

We’ve been spring cleaning and tweaking komoot’s routing features to minimize disruptions to your adventure and add even more flow into your rides. 

Sometimes the router tries a little too hard to direct you along the nicest road or take a more efficient route. While its intentions are good, it’s been known to shortcut a hairpin in favor of… well… leading you across a car park. Because we never want to cheat a cyclist out of a beautiful hairpin, … Continue reading

We’ve tweaked the route planner so it now more intelligently judges road surfaces. This is great news for roadies, as you’ll be routed on smoother roads and have less chance of being deviated onto something that bike tourers and gravel riders would prefer. Extra smooth, extra fun.

There are tons of fantastic bikepacking routes on komoot and we’ve updated the Tour search to make them easier to find. Now, when you select ‘bikepacking’ as your sport in the search criteria, the routes will appear on the map. You can adjust the filters to select the number of days, type of bike, and distance from where you search. Looking for a 3-day route within 50 miles of London? No problem. 

When you tap a bikepacking route on mobile, … Continue reading

Behind the scenes here the improvements never stop, and we’re excited to show you the latest boost to adventure finding on komoot. 

There’s a new menu layout in town and it’s the pretty face of improved usability, more logical route finding, and a boat load of smaller tweaks that, when grouped together, equal a seriously slick user experience. Kind of like the best hike you’ve ever done, with views, snacks, friends, surprise sights, and a smile … Continue reading

You’ll now see your streak in your komoot profile, helping you build the habit of adventure. 

Your streak is the number of weeks in a row you’ve recorded or uploaded an activity of 15 minutes or more, or multiple activities that add up to at least 15 minutes over the week. Why 15 minutes? The adventure streak isn’t about who can spend the most time outdoors or who can do the most distance. Instead, it’s a nudge to remind you to head outside … Continue reading

When you use the komoot map on your Garmin® device and have komoot Premium, you’ll now see the same sport-specific markings as you do when planning. This means official cycle, MTB, and hiking routes; MTB difficulty markers; and trailmarkers (on-trail directional marking or symbols, e.g. the Camino de Santiago scallop) will show up on your Garmin smartwatch or bike computer, depending on what sport you’re doing. This helps you better keep an … Continue reading
