Makuri Island route distance does not match actual riding distance

Spirit Forest indicated that the route is 8.4km and an elevation of 134m. When I ride the route, the distance is about 12km with double the elevation mentioned.

Kappa Quest indicated that the route is 9.1km with an elevation of 139m. When I ride the route, the distance is about 14km with double the elevation mentioned.

The most routes have a lead-in.

I echo this. You ride up the mountain twice. Distance is 12.6KM and 243M elevation. This is not a lead-in distance issue.

Is it exactly a lead-in issue. The route is 9km and the lead-in is 3.3km. So from the spawn point you ride 12.3km to complete your first lap of the route.

The distance is not the part that matters. It is the fact that you go up the mountain twice so the elevation is 243M, not 134M as stated.

The route starts at the top of the mountain. Neither the distance nor the elevation gain from the spawn point to the KOM banner counts as part of the route. Getting to the KOM banner the first time is the lead-in. cf. Lutscher.
