What is the speed range for each gear of a motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycle speed and gear matching are as follows: Motorcycle gears and speeds: Different models of motorcycles have varying suitable speed ranges for each gear. Each gear can operate within a certain speed range, with higher gears covering broader speed zones. Taking a common 125CC motorcycle as an example: First gear is only used for starting or climbing extremely steep slopes at low speeds, and should be immediately shifted to second gear after starting. Second gear typically operates between 10-20 km/h, third gear is suitable for 20-40 km/h, fourth gear for 30-50 km/h. Generally, speeds above 40 km/h can be maintained in fifth gear. Motorcycle gear types: Modern motorcycles mainly feature two gear patterns: rotary (sequential) and return-shift (international). The rotary pattern cycles as 0-1-2-3-4-5-0, while the international pattern follows 1-0-2-3-4-5 without cycling, with neutral located between first and second gear.
