The “backside” of the Epic KOM, this Epic KOM Reverse is shorter and steeper (on average) than its counterpart.
Like the Epic KOM, this climb starts near sea level with a pitchy, winding ride up to a bridge. Then the climb “proper” follows, which breaks nicely into three sections broken up by short flat/downhill segments.
Note: some routes take you up this climb, but turn right at the top to take on the Radio Tower climb, removing you from the Epic KOM Reverse leaderboard and Strava segment.

Leader’s Jersey
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.
So I am trying to find the shortest length steepest climb route for the February 23 3,000m challenge and this looks like the fella for me, except you have to get there first? Anyone got any steep climbs that start that way? I guess Ven-Top is probably the best bet, but finishing a route would be ideal….
This is a very old post (posting for future internet-people), but the quickest way to get here is to take the Jungle Circuit and immediately take a U-Turn. Head right at the first fork (selected by default for me) and you’ll start the Epic KOM Reverse.
Except if you do that, Craig, you’re entering the Epc KOM Rev climb after the official start line, so you won’t get a leaderboard time in game or complete the Strava segment…
