Hi guys, newbie in folding bike. (1 months only)
Currently i am using Raleigh Calypso Aloy 7 gears (shimano) all standard without any modification.
I noticed that during cruising (flat surface) high gear only get around 25km/h. My level la... am not pro. Haha
Am considering to upgrade to Dahon Visc D18 or P20 soon. (because of its look and spec).

My question is.. how fast (kmh) can i expect to get with Dahon VISC? no modification.
Hope sifus here can help me because am highly considering that bike,

if your Raleigh is 48T chainring with 14T cog, at 85rpm u can hit 26km/h

if Dahon Visc D18 with 53T chainring with 11T cog, at 85rpm u can hit 36km/h

being able to hit that speed on such gearing, still call yourself newbie?

mtb usually maintain 30kmh or max 35kmh (strong leng) on the road. they are not too fast compare to roadbike.

if u on tight budget, try adopt freewheel cog that got 11t. its hard to find, but its a cheaper option.

changing to a new bike like dahon visc also giving u a new feel. but remember, its still wont feed ur next hunger for speed enough laugh.gif

Dahon VISC D18 is around RM3,800. Within my budget and I hope can maintain up to 35kmh. sweat.gif
