# KOM finder: New "KOM proximity" filter to narrow to reachable records

Jul 20, 2026

NewPro

The KOM finder already narrows the map to segments worth a shot, by max KOM speed, popularity, length, and surface. But “worth a shot” still depends on *you*. A new **KOM proximity** slider closes that gap: it keeps only the segments where your own best time is already within a chosen percentage of the record.

*The KOM finder filters showing a 'KOM proximity' slider set to 10% off KOM, with the caption 'Only segments you've ridden within 10% of the KOM time.'*

Drag KOM proximity to keep only the records you're already close to.

## How it works

- We compare your best observed time on each segment against its KOM time. Set the slider to, say, **10% off KOM** and the list drops everything you haven't ridden within 10% of the record.
- It only considers segments you've **actually ridden**, so there's no guessing. Leave it on **Any** (the top of the slider) to switch it off.
- The gap badges next to each segment in the list are free for everyone, and free riders can engage the slider at the loosest stop (**≤ 50% off KOM**). The tighter stops (25%, 15%, 10%, and 5%) are Pro.

The point is time. A tailwind day is precious, so spend it on the KOMs that are genuinely in reach, not the ones you were never going to take.
