I regularly do 35/38km/h according to my cat eye on singletracks in tokai

 

I did that last weekend in Jonkers... just before my front wheel nipped a root and sent me flying into a tree and onto the rocks below the tree... Lesson for the day: never get too cocky on a mtbike.

221km/h according to my Polar! The Eskom transmission lines I rode under might have something to do with that though :)

My Garmin once had a max recorded of 210 km/h....was in my buddy's jacket pocket when he took his ZX14 for a spin :blush:

The fastest I have been as well as a buddy on a mtb is coming down from the cable car towards town on the tar road and crossing the speeding camera at 95km/h the damn thing didnt flash

Just a thought.

 

Hitting a tree at 80km p/h is roughly the same as jumping off a twenty story building and landing on concrete.

 

 

:D
