Cap Formentor

At an average cycling pace, Cap Formentor takes between 14 and 19 minutes to complete. The 3.2km climb with its 4.8% average gradient means riders with a higher FTP can push the pace significantly. In Climb Quest, your actual time depends on your real power output.

A moderate FTP of around 172W (watts) is a reasonable starting point for Cap Formentor. However, the climb has sections reaching 8% gradient, so a higher FTP will make those sections much more manageable. Beginners can still attempt it — just at a slower pace.

The maximum gradient on Cap Formentor reaches 8%, which is significantly steeper than the 4.8% average. These sections require the most power and are where riders typically need to shift to their easiest gears. Climb Quest shows the full gradient profile so you can plan where to conserve energy.

Yes — Cap Formentor is available in Climb Quest for any FTMS-compatible smart trainer (Wahoo KICKR, Tacx NEO, Elite Suito, and more). The app automatically adjusts resistance to match the real-world gradient at every point of the 3.2km climb, giving you an authentic simulation of riding outdoors in Spain.
