Genting Highlands

At an average cycling pace, Genting Highlands takes between 97 and 136 minutes to complete. The 22.7km climb with its 7.3% 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 183W (watts) is a reasonable starting point for Genting Highlands. However, the climb has sections reaching 15% 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 Genting Highlands reaches 15%, which is significantly steeper than the 7.3% 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.
