This side of the Sgurr climb is significantly longer than Sgurr Summit South, and the road surface is mostly gravel! A gravel bike will perform best on this climb, but of course you have to weigh the benefits with the costs of swapping bikes if you’re hitting this climb in the middle of a race.
Be sure to visit this climb at night, when the sky is alive!
Zwift trivia: this climb is currently the only place in Zwift where the gravel surface exists. Read more about how different surfaces have different Crr (resistance) >

A word about accuracy: as much as possible, we’ve used Zwift’s in-game numbers for the segments listed. Strava data may differ slightly.
Short n punchy. Reminds me of the Forest climb in Makuri. 🙂
I noticed zwifterbikes has the S-Works Tarmac SL8 matching the speed of the Specialized Crux up this climb. I wonder if their website could be inaccurate, or doesn’t have data for the gravel surface. I was reading your jungle-speed-tests and saw you might be testing this and other segments for gravel bikes compared to road bikes. I’m hoping the time put into upgrading a gravel frame is helpful for this segment, and doesn’t actually match the speed of the SL8.
