“Innsbruck KOM After Party” Route Details (Innsbruck)
In terms of profile, “Innsbruck KOM After Party” ride is essentially ~30km (18 miles) of flat followed by a solid climb up the Innsbruck KOM. This makes for exciting race possibilities as riders with more pure power work to drop climbers in the early flat portion, while climbers claw back time on the final KOM.

Route Description
We begin with three laps of Innsbruckring. This portion is quite flat, except for the famed “Leg Snapper” climb which is short but steep enough to really hurt in a multi-lap race.
After those three laps, we head out into the countryside for a ride up the KOM. This is a solid climb at 7.4km (4.6 miles) long with 400m (1311′) of climbing.
The route finishes at the KOM banner, but why not keep going and enjoy the 5.7-kilometer (3.6-mile) descent? You’ve earned it!
“Spawn point and event start pens are just before the downtown Innsbruck lap banner, which is where this route ends”
Eric, i think the route is not ending at lap banner, but on top of KOM, right? 😉
What is the best bike for this route?
The new aeroad for sure, combined with the dt swiss arc 62 wheels.
Better than the tron?
I think tron is top 2 no matter what.
For the flat portion I believe the (maxed out) Aeroad 2024. But all around I believe a maxed out S-Works Tarmac SL8 combined with Enve 4.5 wheels will be the best option.
Since we can now accumulate kilometers/climb meters on bikes, two bikes might make more sense for some situations, especially for a solo ride.
Example,Tarmac SL8 for the four flat loops, then switch to the Aethos S-Works for the climb, with a swap back for the final downhill after the end,
Tron would also be great for everything before the climb, then swap to a climbing bike you want to complete accumulating meters on, then swap back again for the post route downhill. (Even I can notice the reduced performance of the Tron for uphills.)
For other situations, all the above comments make more sense than this post. 😀
How can you do this route? I tried a meetup and a club event but it is not available
Event only I think. You should be able to do it in Tour de Zwift 2026 stage 3
I think it is free-ridable now.
Correct!
Can you please fix the segment so free-ride efforts will qualify now?
Some of these new routes that were eventually only need a spawn segment created. Otherwise they can’t get a leaderboard entry
You are correct! It’s a bit of a pain, since I need to check routes when they switch from event-only to free rideable, to find out where Zwift spawns people. Then make a segment from there…
Eric without meaning to sound rude but wouldn’t it be easier to always create the route segment as a spawn point or the appropriate nearest banner?
The problem is, we don’t know where Zwift will place the spawn point, until they make the route free rideable. We can guess… but we may not be right.
Where does the route continue after you’ve gone down the hill
Does anyone have any advice on how to make Strava recognize the new segment in past rides? I’ve done this route a few times in the past (including just last weekend), but Strava won’t match the new (from banner) segment to the old rides. I noticed this because the route suddenly disappeared from my veloviewer leaderboard list. I tried “refresh activity achievements” on Strava, but that didn’t seem to help.

oh, the cropping trick worked, thank you!
Just happened to me. Quite annoying
According to Strava only 744 people have done this updated strava segment. I suggest things changed when strava did their segment purge.
I cropped one second off my TDZ ride at the start and it gave me this new segment
The new segment was created very recently. Because the route became free-ridable and the from the pens segment would no longer do. I think thats why no one has done it yet.
Yeah, I wish there was a way around this at this point with this route. You know what they say… “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. Second-best time is today.” 😀
I’m trying to create Strava segments from the get-go that will cover both free rides and events, so this isn’t an issue moving forward. But there are some routes where that might be an issue.
If Strava would just backfill Zwift segments that would fix it. I’ve told them this. But they refuse.
So there’s always the hack linked above (https://zwiftinsider.com/strava-match-old-activities/).
Cheers Eric
Is the spawn point on this correct? I’ve seen free rides on strava that were done after the new segment was created and didn’t match the segment (non-pens version) and it’s because the activity starts after the start point of the segment. https://www.strava.com/activities/17223458734 Double check the spawn point?
