I hit 55mph on a 10% decent two weeks ago. It was kinda sketchy and I was having visions of my tires blowing out. Good things to be thinking at 55mph : ) I could have probably gone a bit faster, but it was a cat 4 race and that's all the sketch I can handle.

That's what the max speed function is for...

Making a kilometer blurry
I've hit 40 in Colorado several times. Down here in the thick TX air, usually 37-38.

34.5 mph but I'm surely not a sprinter. It's a deep tuck and a slow acceleration. My legs are skinny and weak.

I gotta wonder about some of these claims of going over 40 mph. The flying 200 record on the track was recently set and the guy was going about 46 mph, and thats using the banking.
