How To Plan A Route On Komoot | Mountain Bike Route Planning

One of the best things about mountain biking is the ability to get out and explore, you might be bored of trail centres and bike parks, just moved to a new area, or simply have a thirst for adventure. Neil shows you how to use Komoot to find new trails and plan a route that uses them.

9:20 wow a minute and nine..

Great info btw, need to spend more time using Komoot!

A big advantage using the phone for navigation is the audio future of Komoot. Put the phone into a waterproof bag and an phoneplug into the ear. Komoot will navigate and tell you the direction into the ear. So you don't have to look at the bike computer all the time and have more fun enjoying the landscape around you ;o) I love this future very much.

GMBN is awesome! They have inspired me to start mountain biking and create my own YouTube channel (White Creek Outdoors). Thanks guys for the inspiration!

Loved my komoot in tenerife. Planned one around the local riders and fond some epic trails I would have never found. Also I just used my phone and hired a bike. Put the phone in my rucksack and had my headphones on giving directions. 👌

GMBN is such a go Chanel I am new to mountain biking in after watching them I I’m pro

[zerodad]

Best komoot tutorial I have watched! Can't wait to try out for my area.

Dear friends of GMBN, just to thanking you to make my life on my MTB easier, safer and so much fun. Sheers from Santiago, Chile.

Nice video. You don't need a dedicated GPS. I use my phone with a Bluetooth earphone (just one ear) and the turn by turn instructions work really really well so I can leave my phone in my pocket. Just try it you'll be surprised.

[DerGeileEisbaer]

I use Komoot since maybe five years. Not only for biking but also hiking all over Europe. Love it. But planning routes on the phone just sucks :D

[HeikoOutdoors]

Komoot is a really good App I use to plan and explore. I usually plan my tours for mountainbiking...and the Apps sometimes really leads me in the woods 🤣 Like it👍 Always nice trails.

[Cees]

Great video! Nice filming, gives good inspiration for bikepacking Thanks!

[rupedog]

What a great and useful video... one kamoot account coming up... and u answered my question about getting your Exmoor route. BRILLIANT!

[endurogubbarna]

Wow thanks! That was really helpful of getting to know Komoot. Tested out this weekend and it was just great on planning and finding the correct trails.
And now I can also test some more of them without getting totaly lost or ending up in a big fen...

[Pienimusta]

Planned rides are fun every so often, but much more prefer just riding with the flow and taking "random" trails that come up. Especially near cities there are tons of really great shorter trails, connected by pavement so you get lots of different trails in one ride.

[fastfrankee]

Thanks for this video, Komoot is a brilliant app and pc route planner, been testing and trying it out this week so we just got some cheap iPhone 5s off fleebay and put them in an armoured case, works great and much cheaper than those garmin, plus the maps work offline and you don't even need a sim card in the phone.

[beardedvikingmtber]

Quality vid, just what I was looking for, cheers 🤘🏻

[colinthompson]

Handy guidance thanks. Just started using Komoot, finding it good for avoiding busy roads when commuting as well. Ordered a Wahoo Bolt Roam so looking forwards to linking them up.

[syrophenikanblackmetal]

Have you ever tried Trailforks? You can do a lot of really nifty stuff with it - and other users can post vids, pics, trail updates, etc... it often gives details on trail features, and it tells you level of difficulty. I was travelling from Canada to Geneva (my wife had a work function), and was able to find some good DH sections on Mont Salève.

[DistrictMountainBiker]

Pretty handy video as I just downloaded Komoot the other day and had no idea what I was doing 😂 Looking forward to getting some rides planned for summer now 👍

[the_spanner_chmp]

Nice informative video Neil and Blake, will looking into Kamoot soon to plan some rides.
Great stuff #GMBN
