Average speed?
« on: November 27, 2021, 01:59:41 pm »
So my G450X has an odometer and an hour meter, 8140/148 gives an average of 55kph.

Anybody else have something to compare it to?

5,177 km…




Divided by 220.2 hours…



Equals… 23.5 km/h. :-[ :rofl2:

Nah - I average 24kph on my bicycle.  :rofl2:

But seriously, I have no idea what an expected average speed for off road motorcycle riding might be.

Depends mostly on terrain. 

Rides like this can raise your average: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EBn6cEWMXc&t=22s&ab_channel=blur911

Rides like this...not so much:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBGtMUdym3c&ab_channel=blur911

It really depends on the terrain. 24 km/h average through the singletrack around here would probably have me on a podium.  ;D

But I also go down to Moab where I get to wind it out in sixth gear through the desert. That bumps up the average considerably.

This was from a ride in the fall. 9.6 km/h average, but pretty much all singletrack. Had a couple of stops for snacks and chit chat though, with the timer still running, so moving average would be a little bit higher. And the odometer on my bike read a bit over 40 km, instead of the 36 km on the GPS, so that was screwy too.

Yup KTM odos always read high. Can be exacerbated by running a different front tire  than stock and low air pressure.

I looked at the other data from the GPS for that ride: average moving speed was 12.4 km/h and max speed was 53 km/h.

And, for fun, here's one from the mountain bike:



Average moving speed was 7.7 km/h and top speed was 28.6 km/h.

And a road ride for the heck of it. Only had a few of these this year.  :(

Max speed was 81.5 km/h, but average moving speed was still only 20.3 km/h.  :-[

The twistier the route, the more GPS can short change you on distance as it only take a data point every X seconds. This is why people on mtn bikes that want a more accurate distance count put on the Garmin Speed sensor.

^^ Yeah, I guess I’m not concerned enough to bother. I rode without the GPS for years until I found it in a drawer last summer and started riding with it again. It’s a Garmin Edge 500 from maybe 2010? Amazing that it still works at all.  :rofl2:

I do have the wheel speed sensor as well. Think it’s on my road bike though. Would make more sense to put it on the mtb, but I guess I just didn’t want the extra doodads with mud and rocks and branches and stuff.

My wife has a newer Garmin fitness tracker thing that she wears on her wrist. It consistently reads 10% higher for mileage than my 500.
