Sa Calobra PR Attempt 🇪🇸 | Full-Gas Climb, Pacing Strategy & Sub-30 Breakdown
Sa Calobra (Coll dels Reis) is one of the most iconic climbs in Mallorca — and one of the most competitive Strava segments in the world. In this video, I go all-out on my fastest attempt ever and break down exactly how to pace Sa Calobra for your best possible time.
I’ve ridden this climb multiple times over the past eight years, and during the 2025 Cycling Fanatics Mallorca Camp I felt fitter than ever. This video combines real ride footage, coaching insights, and performance analysis — covering pacing strategy, wind, traffic, timing your effort, and how I approach setting a realistic PR goal.
In this video:
- Full-gas Sa Calobra PR attempt
- How to pace the climb (forest section, switchbacks & final ramps)
- How wind and traffic can make or break your time
- How I estimate my target time vs the Strava KOM
- My personal Sa Calobra history (2017 → 2025)
- Bike setup used for the attempt (Winspace SLC3 + Lún Hyper Light wheels)
- Why Sa Calobra has become my yearly fitness benchmark
