News bot Posted February 9, 2017 Share Why would someone travel over 11,000 kilometres from his home in Austria to the Atacama region in Chile just to career down a mountain on a bike? For a world record, of course! 42-year-old Austrian downhill biking expert Max Stöckl achieved just that by cycling down the gravel on his standard mountain bike after years of preparing for the feat. His V-Max project came to fruition with a speed of 167,6 km/h being recorded around midday on 13 December 2016 on the 1200-metre long slope. His six-person team took some spectacular images back home along with their pride at creating a new world record.Click here to view the article Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/166163-video-world-record-speed-in-downhill-mountain-biking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
