When released in March 2016, the Epic KOM was the longest climb in the game. And though it feels less “epic” nowadays up against climbs like Alpe du Zwift and Ventoux, it’s still one of the biggest climbs in game.
Much like the Epic KOM Reverse, this climb starts near sea level with a pitchy, winding ride up to a bridge. The Epic KOM features a beautiful towering suspension bridge, then the climb “proper” follows.
Near the top the climb turns into a bit of a rollercoaster as you ride across the ridge. See if you can spot a hot air balloon before it’s time to dig in for the final push to the line! You won’t find any spectators at such a high altitude, but an ibex awaits to greet you at the finish.
