Cycling Gear Calculator – Find Your Perfect Speed
Curious what speed you can hit in each gear? Our Gear Calculator lets you explore your bike's full potential in seconds. Just select your setup, enter your cadence, and see exactly how fast you'll go in every gear combination.
How It Works
Pick your crankset (compact, standard, gravel, MTB – or enter custom values), choose your cassette from popular 11 and 12-speed options, select your wheel size, and set your typical cadence. Hit calculate, and you'll get a complete speed table showing every chainring-sprocket combination.
Why Use It?
- Planning a new cassette? See how an 11-34 climbing cassette compares to your current 11-28 before you buy.
- Targeting a specific speed? Find out which gear gets you to 40 km/h at your comfortable cadence.
- Climbing a tough hill? Check your lowest gear's speed to know what to expect on steep gradients.
- Optimizing your cadence? Experiment with different RPM values to find your sweet spot.
Pro Tip
Toggle the "Show Development" option to see meters traveled per pedal stroke – a favorite metric among experienced riders for comparing gear efficiency.
Whether you're fine-tuning your race setup, shopping for a new cassette, or just geeking out on numbers, this calculator gives you the answers. Give it a spin!
