Hi!

I'm not sure if this idea has been around, didn't see it in the forums so I thought I'd mention it.
It's sad that at the moment we only have KOM and QOM for every type of segments, no matter if it's uphill, downhill or flat surface.

My suggestion would be to have new criteria:
KOM/QOM - King/Queen of Mountain - when the surface is uphill
KOD/QOD - King/Queen of Downhill - when the surface is downhill
KOS/QOS - King/Queen of Sprints - when the area is flat

I know that having KOMs/QOMs are the regular and basic thing, but for sure this one can be spiced up a bit.

Cheers!

We appreciate your participation in the Community. We need some additional details regarding this idea. Do you mind elaborating on why you think it's important to differentiate the slope for the XOM achievements and if you think there should be different icons for this or how it would visually be different from the current setup?

We kindly ask that you review our Ideas guidelines, particularly the “What makes a good idea” section, to ensure that your ideas are clear, concise, and can reach as many others as possible.

Thank you!

The icon of the XOM/XOD/XOS should be the same, the same crown that we're used to.
The best way to differentiate the types of XO(x) should probably be grade related.
If the surface is less than 5%, area is probably considered flat. If the surface is more than 7%, depending on the way of the segment start and segment end, area should be considered downhill or uphill.

I really hope that I explained it better now and it could be a topic in the office for you.
Cheers!
