Is there a way to see a list of 2015 KOM. They seem rather vague at the minute. Pick them up and they appear on the ride but there is no record or listing where you can see what you've got.
that'll be because you've "got" nothing..
there's the option to view the leaderboard on any strava segment just showing results from this year though.
What's the point in having a 2015 KOM if you are not as quick as someone who did it in 2014/13/12.....etc?
I see Strava rates PRs more highly than 2015 KOMs too.
There is limited point to them if you cant see them. They are there so I was interested.
It's an achievement on a given ride. As said, you can filter any segment by year. Theyre pretty meaningless though, obviously on 1st Jan you'll get hundreds, but they'll get rarer as the year goes on.
I fear you're taking Strava a bit seriously.

The whole thing is pointless, to argue that one bit of it is any more pointless than another seems a little...pointless.
Anyway, if I keep bouncing this up then maybe I'll find out if there is an answer. I might check veloviewer, see if they have the information.
Filter the leaderboard on a given segment by "This year" and you'll see it. But the KOM title for the year isn't consolidated anywhere, unlike "proper" KOMs.
They're fairly meaningless as a comparison with other people - as njee said, they're easy at the start of the year, particularly on less well used trails but most people who race train in seasons so I can see the point of it there to see how you're progressing through the season. I think that rating them lower than PRs is about right though, it's just a bit more information rather than an achievement in itself.
I have at least 5 2015 KOM, not because I am fast it's because no one has been daft enough to ride the trails through winter like I have
Yeah, my fatbike got a lot of those these past couple of months.
I guess they make some sense where the trail has changed so much that older timings will never be replicated.
Wow! on it's own? 😯Yeah, my fatbike got a lot of those these past couple of months.
they truly are wonderful these fatbikes aren't they?
Did wonder why so many owners seem to spend so much more time blogging, talking and taking pics and videos of 'em than actually riding.
😆 It must be easier videoing your "ride" if the bike does the riding for you and all you have to worry about is the filming.
Nah, it's more a statement regarding the ability of the fatbike to carry on in conditions in which no other bike will cope.
Edit: in my case, it's certainly not the rider.
The "hollow" trophies can show you how much faster you are getting by removing extra layer of clothing when spring is starting showing its arrival! 😆
yeah, MTB trails (and roads where the layout has been changed) should really have an annual leaderboard as in some cases the trails change so much that no-one has a chance to get close. But as strava is primarily road I wouldn't hold my breath.I guess they make some sense where the trail has changed so much that older timings will never be replicated.
and yeah admittedly this is possibly taking it too seriously.
New Year KOMs are a great way of getting people off their arses and riding in the winter though aren't they? Certainly worked for me.
I quite like the 2015 KoM's.
I know most of the top ten on the leaderboards in our local woods, its handy to see who's on pace and who's been lazy over the winter.
I love'em.
I didn't think it possible for Strava to make their acheivements even more emphemeral and hollow, but they managed (and with a hollow crown symbol just to rub it in even more).
More seriously, it makes sense for natural trails - we've a few round our way that got nearly destroyed in heavy rain and flooding in December, so they are very different now.
