Segments

Creating a segment

Start by selecting the right location on your route to ensure the segment feels intentional and well-placed.

• Navigate along the timeline and identify your desired starting point,
• Click the “+” icon next to the segment type you want to add,
• Choose from the available segment options displayed on the timeline.

Take a moment to check and confirm the segment placement before moving forward, as this sets the foundation for the entire segment.

Segment locations 

Place segments where they feel natural within the flow of the route. A good segment should align with how a rider would intuitively experience the terrain.

IMPORTANT:

• Segments must not overlap at any point.
• Keep a minimum distance of 300 m between segments.
• Ensure segments do not cover more than 50% of the total route length.

Set correct segment efforts 

Each segment should represent a meaningful effort and add value to the ride.

• Highlight distinct features like climbs, flat-out sections, or fast descents,
• Avoid placing segments in sections with inconsistent or unclear effort,
• Make sure the effort feels purposeful and rewarding to complete.

Well-defined efforts improve both realism and rider motivation.

Use the timeline

The timeline is your main tool for reviewing and refining segment placement.

• Preview how each segment fits into the overall route,
• Check spacing, flow, and transitions between segments,
• Adjust placements to improve pacing and ride dynamics.

Use the timeline regularly to make sure everything feels cohesive from start to finish.

Climb segments

Use climb segments to highlight sustained uphill efforts.

• Select from predefined climb options directly on the timeline,
• Start and end points are fixed and cannot be adjusted manually.

These segments are ideal for clearly defined ascents where effort builds naturally over distance.

Sprint segments 

Sprint segments are built for short, high-intensity efforts on relatively flat terrain.
Choose sections where riders can realistically push maximum power without terrain interference.

These segments are

• Always fixed at 300 m in length.
• You can adjust the start and end position along the route.

Important: 
The average grade must stay between -4% and 4%.

Roll segments

Roll segments are flexible and best suited for steady efforts on flatter terrain.

• You can freely adjust both the start and end positions.
• Works well for longer, consistent sections of the route.

Important:

• Length must be between 500 m and 20,000 m,
• Average grade must be ≤ 3%.

Use roll segments to capture sustained pacing efforts on relatively even terrain.
