Wow, that's some good stuff there... What did it cost you?

I'm thinking about getting a new race bike... I'm struggling between Colnago and Trek.

[magracer]

I just picured this...

Dude, that must be a fast bike.
No, it's Xlow...
No, really, it must be fast.
Seriously, it's Xlow...

55 km/h in a bike?? sry to be doubtful but can anyone verify the accuracy of the statement, i know normal bikes average something like 15 and even with downhill it would be insane to keep it moving at 30...the bike does look incredible, and it is a ferrari, the sytle though isn;t really my type..if you don't mind also what was the price, i never knew it existed..

Having done 40mph on a bike myself and worked as support team for Scottish rider thehn 55km/h is real easy - my kids have done that !!!

[mavanhaasteren]

in races that are be held in the Netherlands the average in 1 uur driving is ± 45 km/H

the bike cost my € 2.000,--
and the top speed was done on a flat surface with almost no wind

Naan Eldering does it again.
On 4 and 5 september on the wooden track in Cologne Naan Eldering won first place in the 1000 meter in 1,068 and first place in the criterium with an average speed of 53,86 km/h. Of course Naan was using his Optima Baron Xlow. For the results check here

if you Riley won race try a bent rider and experience the speed for your self the nearest bent rider shop in eindhoven is De Liggende Hollander Tourslaan 33 5627 KW Eindhoven a baron is also a good fast bike or the cougar or check optima-cycles

i prefer regular road bikes. although those are cool they seem to be able to put out the same performance speeds and those are harder to see so maybe more dangerous. probably more comfortable though. although u get all the bumps cause u can't damp them wit ur knee's

As matra said it is poss, i can get above 30mph on my trek 8500 mtb, and thats fairly low geared. not uphill however

[Egg Nog]

The fastest I ever did on a bike was 76km/h, as shown on the digital speed sensor.

[h00t_h00t]

I got my bike's speedometer up to 146mph with some abuse of the settings

[Spastik_Roach]

Thats the most crazy ass mother ****ing bike i've ever seen.

Seat certainly looks a helluva lot more comfortable than normal bike seats though.

Is it comfortable?

am I the only one riding mountain bikes here?

here's my .243 canadian made bikes with all the top of the line parts, it's a dirt-jump/street/park specific bike...

True, I could reach 35-40 mph on my 10-speed bike on level ground. I added a speedometer. I also recorded some acceleration times; one of my brothers would use a watch and I would call out when I hit a certain speed. Here are the specs:
0-10 mph-------- 1.4 seconds
0-15 mph-------- 3.2
0-20 mph-------- 5.0
0-30 mph-------- 18.5
0-35 mph-------- 33.0
Passing: 5-15 mph- 4.0
Top speed------- 37-38 mph

And I once did a full-length 1/4 mile run:
33.0 seconds

I still have a Schwinn Stingray, a single-speed with coaster brake (photo below). And also recorded some times:
0-10 mph-------- 3.2 secs
0-15 mph-------- 4.5
0-20 mph-------- 6.5
Passing:5-15 mph- 4.3
------- 10-20 mph- 5.2
Top speed-------- 27-28 mph
