What is the speed corresponding to each gear of a motorcycle?

[MacElla]

Motorcycle gear corresponding speeds are as follows: 1st gear climbing speed ranges between 10-20 km/h, 2nd gear between 20-30 km/h, 3rd gear between 30-50 km/h, 4th gear between 50-60 km/h, and 5th gear above 60-100 km/h. Motorcycle shifting techniques: After starting the motorcycle, the next step is acceleration and gear shifting. During gear shifting, the period when the clutch is "disengaged" is a "neutral interval," where you cannot accelerate or control the motorcycle's speed with the throttle, relying solely on "inertia" movement. Therefore, it's essential to minimize the clutch "disengagement" time. When shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear, first accelerate, then reduce the throttle, quickly pull the clutch lever with your left hand to disengage the clutch, shift up one gear, gently release the clutch lever, and then increase the throttle. Following these steps sequentially will allow you to reach the highest gear. Motorcycle shifting precautions: When shifting gears, it's crucial to slow down significantly, ideally coming to a complete stop, without applying throttle. The force used to shift gears should be balanced and appropriate—not too harsh or excessive. Additionally, when shifting from neutral to any gear, the motorcycle should be stationary. When downshifting from a higher gear to a lower one (e.g., from 4th to 3rd gear), it's best to stop the motorcycle before shifting to avoid damaging the engine. When upshifting from a lower gear to a higher one (e.g., from 3rd to 4th gear), you can shift at a reduced speed.

There is no fixed correlation between motorcycle gears and speed, mainly depending on your vehicle type and driving habits. From driving various vehicles, I've found that for manual transmissions, a general reference is: first gear is used from starting up to around 20 km/h, like crawling in traffic jams; second gear accelerates to 40 km/h, commonly used in city driving; third gear reaches 60 km/h, smooth for suburban driving; fourth gear goes above 80 km/h, ideal for highway cruising; fifth gear is for higher speeds, saving fuel and energy. But this isn't a strict rule! Engine RPM is key—I always watch the tachometer to shift gears, with around 2500 RPM being the optimal point to avoid lugging at low RPMs or shaking at high RPMs. Vehicle weight also plays a big role, differing between small cars and heavy SUVs. From a safety perspective, shift gears smoothly without abruptly pressing the clutch, or the jerking sensation will be very unpleasant. In short, practice makes perfect—rely on feeling rather than memorizing numbers rigidly.

Having driven for over thirty years, gear-speed matching is a practical skill. My experience is: for speed references, first gear is used from 0 to 20 km/h, second gear from 20 to 40 km/h, third gear from 40 to 60 km/h, fourth gear from 60 to 80 km/h, and fifth gear for speeds above 80 km/h on highways. But these aren't strict standards, as engines vary greatly—my old truck only uses first gear for climbing hills, while my new sedan shifts flexibly in the city. RPM is more important; shifting around 2000 RPM protects the engine and saves fuel. Vehicle type also matters; for example, sports cars with strong torque can reach 70 km/h in third gear. In daily driving, I rely on engine sound to shift—revving loudly means upshift, struggling sound means downshift. Ultimately, don't rigidly follow numbers; prioritize safety by flexibly matching actual road conditions.

When I first learned to drive, the instructor taught me that gears roughly correspond to speed: first gear (0-15 km/h) for starting, second gear (15-35 km/h) for acceleration, third gear (35-55 km/h) for steady driving, fourth gear (55-75 km/h) for the initial phase of high-speed driving, and fifth gear (75+ km/h) for cruising. However, this isn't absolute. With more practice, you'll learn to shift gears more accurately by watching the tachometer, keeping it around 2000 RPM. Different vehicles vary greatly; a light motorcycle can fly in second gear, while a heavy truck needs to take it slow. To be safe, avoid low-gear high-speed driving to prevent engine damage, and high-gear low-speed driving to prevent lugging. The most effective way is to drive more and get familiar with your own vehicle's habits—don't rigidly follow formulas.
