What is the highest gear on a motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycle highest gear is 5th gear. Motorcycle gears: Motorcycles currently have two main types of gear systems: the rotary gear and the reciprocal gear (international gear). The rotary gear cycles through 0-1-2-3-4-5-0, while the international gear follows 1-0-2-3-4-5 without cycling, with neutral located between 1st and 2nd gear. Motorcycle gears and speed: Different models of motorcycles have varying speed ranges suitable for each gear, and each gear can operate within a certain speed range. Higher gears generally have a broader speed range. Taking a common 125CC motorcycle as an example, 1st gear is only used for starting or climbing very steep slopes at low speeds. After starting, you should immediately shift to 2nd gear, which is suitable for speeds between 10-20. 3rd gear is ideal for speeds between 20-40, 4th gear for 30-50, and generally, speeds above 40 can be maintained in 5th gear.
