The speed you can reach depends on the air
SuperRecord’s 200 m plan takes into account the velodrome and the temperature, humidity and pressure at race time, and compares with reference velodromes.
Frequently asked questions
What speed is a 10-second flying 200 m?
72 km/h on average. A 200 m in 11 seconds is about 65 km/h, and in 9.5 seconds almost 76 km/h.
What cadence is used in the flying 200 m?
Sprinters usually ride far above endurance riders, often between 130 and 150 rpm. The calculator tells you which gear puts you at yours at the speed you want.
Does the velodrome affect the time?
A lot. With lighter air, from altitude or heat, you go faster for the same power. That is why the platform’s plan uses the weather at race time.
Which is better, a big chainring or a small cog?
For the same development, a bigger chainring and cog lose a little less in the chain. The gear calculator shows it for each combination.
