Computer speed maxing out or me?

The bicycle computer I use has been maxing out at 57.2km/h on my last few rides. It feels like I am going faster past that point but it could also be me maxing out, I can't tell.
I am just using a cheap $25 computer from amazon (NACATIN Multi-Function Waterproof 2.4GHz). I could find anything online about certain computers maxing out for kms. I was thinking it could just be a cheap sensor that has trouble picking up the rotations of the sensor on the spokes. Or it's just me :>

yep, download Strava and compare. It should be somewhat close. Even if you delete the app your not out anything. Strava is free too. Strava is really close to my Garmin data.
