Safe cruising speed

Post by Manoli »

My daily commute has a stretch where I can ride for 5-10 minutes im high speed.
My 2022 PCX has a top speed of about 105 kmh. Would ir be safe cruising with 90 kmh for about 10 min, without causing any damage in the long run?

I’ve been riding a similar-sized scooter for a while now, and honestly, holding 90 km/h on a bike that tops out at 105 is totally fine. These liquid-cooled engines are built to handle sustained high revs, especially for just a 10-minute stretch. As long as you aren’t pinned at the absolute redline the entire time, you aren't going to hurt anything. Just stay on top of your oil changes, small engines work harder at those speeds, so keeping the lubricant fresh is the best "long-run" insurance you can have.
