Speeding - Post your record.
Today I rode my mtb bike at 28.9mph. I tried really hard to push it through 29mph but just couldn't. :( I do feel the "burn" in the legs. This is the highest speed I've ever attained on flat road.. Consider my bike is 30lbs and I am only 5'7 145lb I believe it's quite a good speed...
The speed limit on the road is 25, don't know if they would give me a speeding ticket if I got caught. :D What's the fastest you've riden on a mtb on flat roads? |
I've hit 27 even. I was racing my friend on the bike path. It's fun to pass road bikers, and to just plain fly by anyone. I love the sound when i speed up. My back tire like "whurrs." God, it's just insane.

27mph = 43.452288 km/h 28.9mph = 46.51 km/h |
63km/h for me.
My hardrock comp with semi slicks going down a steep hill on the largest chain ring. Still got smoked by my buddy on the road bike. |
anyone know the fastes dh speed?
|
wow man 63 kph is fast...i dunno if i could hold that
|
Hit 62km/h on my Cannondale F600 racing my friend driving his Dodge Phoenix!
(in a 50 zone) |
broke 43mph today on my cross bike. Just wondering what hills you guys a breaking 50+? This hill was fast and long with lots of wide turns, but just couldnt seem to get it up their.

hit 40+kph (25mph) on sunday on a firetrail. it was so rocky, i was hanging onto the bars for dear life...
|
Flat = 36 mph.
Down a hill Ive gotten 52 mph (on a Giant Yukon with semi slicks, LOLOLOL), couldve pushed it but I was quite scared. Ive heard that if you maintain speeds like that the bearing in your freewheel can melt and seize up causing a lockup. That would SUCK!!!! EDIT: This is all on concrete. On the trail my top speed comes in around 3 mph. :D |
I've hit 50 on a road bike
|
on flat only about 42km/hr
|
28.6 MPH on flat road, 52 approx going down a hill
|
No idea. I go fast..sometimes I don't. I don't use nor plan to use a computer on my bike
|
I plan on it, just so I know how long I have to walk back up the dang trail after my bike breaks down, and my chaintool breaks trying to fix the dang chain.
Then I'll post my fastest speed.. probably 15 mph or something lame hehe. |
anyone know the fastes dh speed? |
i hit 35mph on a 30mph limit and passed a speed camera. Anothre great thing to do is to use your phone while riding. See if you get arrested!!!

my best was around 60km/hour in some kinda short downhill, but with a bmx!! with an mtb on a flat road, like 42.6km/hour...
|
Ive hit 37mph on a slight hill on this really old bike I have.....and during a DH race, I think it was 35, maybe 38. Dropped pretty fast because I crashed going that fast, and was clocked through the finish gate :D
|
I have done 30 on a flat road, 43 on a dowhill(speed limit was 25 and 35, respectively), so yes, i am guilty of speeding.
