There comes a time for every ATV rider to ask that one question: “How fast can an ATV go?” Even though you won’t be riding at top speeds on a regular basis, it’s a question that is bound to come up. Whether you are wondering about your ATV’s top speed out of curiosity or you are trying to better understand the potential performance of your vehicle, it’s a worthy discussion that certainly deserves some exploration.
How Fast Can an ATV Go?When discussing top speeds for an ATV, it all comes down to the engine size. Take a look at some of the different engine sizes and models that are available and the top speeds for each:
There are other sizes in between the above-mentioned engines, but looking at this breakdown will give you an idea of how the size-range works in relation to top speeds. Top speeds will also vary depending on the manufacturer and model, but it’s good to know that these are the maximum speeds possible if you decide to push your ATV to the limit.
What Is the Fastest ATVs Top Speed?If you take a look at some of the top speeds across some of the fastest ATV models, you will notice that it’s undoubtedly possible to push these up into the 60s, 70s, and even low 80s.
If you are wondering about the ATV speed record, the Guinness book of World Records clocked a Yamaha 700 Raptor at 196 mph. Even though there’s no chance that you will be going that fast on your ATV, it’s pretty cool to know that somebody was able to pull off this amazing feat.
Keep in mind, ATVs are not necessarily designed for speed. An ATV is very powerful for many different uses at slower speeds. But that doesn’t mean speed is not an option. If you are looking to cross over 60 mph, you certainly have plenty of ATV models to choose from to achieve this goal.

Anyone new to ATVs will, at some point, wonder how fast they can actually go. It’s not likely that you will be riding at these speeds very often, but it’s just one of these things we just want to know out of pure curiosity.
Or, maybe you are in the process of buying a new four-wheeler and just want to make sure you won’t get disappointed by the performance of the bike size you are getting?
For most ATV models, you won’t get these numbers from the manufacturers themselves.
So I did a little digging to find as good of estimates as possible.
Today’s most powerful sports and utility ATVs can reach top speeds of 80mph (128km/h). Moderate sized bikes averages at about 65 mph (104km/h). Youth ATVs have speed limiters so that the parent can decide exactly how fast it can go.
These are the top speeds of the fastest stock ATVs I could find within each cc engine size. My research included all of the major brands.
* The numbers displayed in this post are based on user data/speedo readings found online. Results may vary from one country to another due to local regulations. I cannot guarantee you will reach these numbers. The numbers are for stock ATVs. ** All speeds are with any original adjustable speed limiters set to maximum speed. *** Actual engine displacement varies from model to model. (a 1000 model may, in reality, be a 950cc and so on)The chart above shows only the fastest of the fastest.
To better understand what top speed to expect when getting a specific engine size, I’ve calculated the average top speed regardless of what brand you are choosing. I compare each manufacturer’s fastest model within each engine size.
Note that many manufacturers have several models with the same engine size, but where the difference in top speed between the two can vary with as much as 5-10mph. In this comparison, I’ve picked only the fastest of the available models.
The chart compares average top speed with maximum top speed within each engine size.At this point, you may be eager to know what make and model achieves these speeds.
Here are a data sheet showing how fast each model goes, based on reported user experience. Most but not all models are available on the market today.
Click the image for a better view.For all practical purposes, as long as the bike does 50 MPH safely, you really do not need it to go any faster.
But if you decide to push it even further anyways, you will find that it’s neither comfortable, practical, or very safe. It also makes a severe impact on the fuel economy.
When you research different ATV models, you will notice that most manufacturers won’t state their machines top speed in their spec sheets (except with speed limited youth models to show how slow they can go).
And they have good reasons for not focusing on blazing top speeds.
ATVs are not designed very well to be used at high speeds. They are meant to be powerful at lower speeds and need big engines for this reason. But they are not meant to set any speed records.
The suspension is too soft, the tires are too aggressive, and the CVT transmission non-ideal for higher speeds. The relatively short wheelbase and spacing compared to a car do also negatively affect high-speed performance.
So the manufacturers do not want riders to be pushing to reach potential top speed on their machines, as it’s not what they are really designed for and could end in disaster.
Most manufacturers clearly give disclaimers similar to the one you find on Can-Am spec sheets: “Avoid excessive speed. ” They do so for a reason.
If you’re looking for speed, a motorcycle or a fast car is a much better option.
Racing quads are equipped with upgraded suspension, have a wide tire width, and are ridden by experienced riders. These cannot be compared to your average stock utility or recreation bike.
Some sports models have better suspension from the factory, but it is still not a machine meant for chasing high speeds.
You will find different types of speed limiters installed on many of the ATVs on the market for various reasons. You’ll even find this on “unrestricted” top performance bikes like the Polaris Scrambler.
But the real purpose of why they are installed varies somewhat depending on what type of bike you are getting.
You’ll often find that it’s not actually the engine size (displacement) that’s the limiting factor of how fast the quad goes.
There is usually plenty of power available for even higher speeds.
But the speed needs to be restricted at some point to protect those of us that don’t understand the extreme dangers involved with doing these speeds themselves. So they install limiters.
The same is true in most cars, motorcycles, and any other high performing machine. Usually, they are set to a speed so high that it is not something one would ever notice for the average user. You will never be going this fast anyways.
But it helps to explain why there are noticeable variations in top speed on quads with identical engine size but from different manufacturers in some cases.
You will even find bikes with smaller engines that outrun the bigger ones. Often this is likely due to a limiter set at different maximum speeds.
I strongly advise against messing with the top speed limiter on these bikes. It is there for a good reason!
A mechanic speed limiter uses a mechanical barrier to prevent you from applying full throttle.
This can be in the form of an adjustable screw on the handlebar, plastic parts inside the carburetor, or shims limiting airflow in various places inside the engine. Other types exist as well.
Electronic limiters are typical on bikes with electronic fuel injection. The fuel injection system gets notified to cut back on fuel as soon as the ATV reaches the set limit.
Speed limiters are installed on children’s and youth ATVs as a critical safety feature to protect beginners and inexperienced riders.
Some bikes come with adjustable limiters so that the parent can increase speed gradually as the riders riding skills and experience increase.
Most of the smaller sized ATVs are capable of speeds in the range of 30 mph with some light tuning, removing speed limiters, etc.
I’m not telling you this because I advise you to do so but so that you’ll understand why there are such significant variations in the top speed of the presumably identically sized smaller bikes.
It is, in most cases, not due to huge variations in actual engine performance.
For older beginners, Can-Am includes a learning key that holds a code that electronically limits the bike’s speed. This is a great safety feature I hope more manufacturers will offer in future models.
When you install tracks on the quad, you give up a lot of the speed at the same time. As a general rule of thumb, you may expect the top speed to drop by about 50% due to the sprockets’ different output ratio.
Installing tracks will impact your top speed.Because of this, the internals of your bike needs to move twice as fast to maintain the same speed when running in the same gear and with the same RPMs.
It’s wise to keep this in mind when you’re chasing top speed with your new tracks. It put a lot of strain on your gearbox, diffs, and CV-joints.
If you, despite the warnings, still wish to increase your bike’s top speed, there are several ways you can go about it.
Disclaimer! All modifications are done at your own risk! I do not recommend any of them.
Bigger tires have a larger circumstance, which means the tire travels farther pr. revolution. This will effectively increase the top speed of your bike.
Remember that you also need to install a clutch kit if you increase tire diameter by more than a couple of inches. If you don’t, you will lose a lot of power and may face belt slipping issues and burning belts.
If your bike has a gearbox with sprockets and chains, you can change one of the sprockets to increase your top speed. However, this is actually most commonly done to reduce top speed and simultaneously improve acceleration by installing a smaller sprocket.
By installing a racing clutch, you can choose one that uses different dimensions of clutch sheaves, altering the bike’s top speed according to your needs.
I won’t go into the details on how to increase the power output of your bike’s engine, as this subject deserves a post of its own.
But doing so will also give you an improvement of top speed.
This one is quite obvious, but removing it will improve your top speed if your bike has any speed limiter installed. Be aware you may be voiding your warranty and breaking a few laws if you decide to go this route.
Mechanical speed limiters are the easiest to remove as they usually require you to slightly disassemble and remove the part that is limiting your throttle.
However, if your bike has an electronic speed limiter, you may need reprogramming of the bike to disable the limiter. Some dealers do this for you; others don’t.
For my Polaris Sportsman XP 1000, there wasn’t any software available to remove its top speed limiter of 60km/h (37,3 mph). This particular bike is sold as a tractor required by law (Norway) not to go any faster than this.
If your bike has an open sprocket and chain, altering top speed is easy. Increasing the size of the front sprocket (clutch) and reducing the size of the rear sprocket (axle) will both give you a higher top speed.
People into quad racing tweak gearing ratio to find the optimal setup for each track they are racing.
Tracks with long stretches require higher top speeds, while tracks with many turns benefit from a better acceleration at the expense of higher top speeds.
As I mentioned, most bikes will actually have an electronic speed limiter to prevent riders from attempting speeds much higher than the machine is really designed for.
The limiter on Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 kicks in at about 80mph, but there have been reports of people reaching speeds in the range of 100mph simply by flashing new software to their bikes ECU.
The Scrambler XP 850 even has a higher stock top speed, with the limiter reportedly set at 83 mph.
Again, I strongly advise against doing these modifications. And quite frankly, I don’t really see the point of it unless you are into some serious racing. And don’t get me wrong, I love speed. Just not these kinds of speeds on an ATV.
What is the world’s fastest stock ATV on the market?
The fastest stock ATV you can buy today is the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000. With its 90 hp, it’s been clocked at speeds over 80 mph (128 km/h).
What is the fastest ATV in the world?
According to the Guinness book of world records, the fastest speed ever achieved by an ATV was 196.19mph (315.74 km/h). The rider was Terry Wilmeth, and the bike was a modified Yamaha 700 raptor. Fitted with a hybrid rocket thruster.

The popularity of motor vehicles is growing every year, and this is because people are discovering new and new ways to use it. So, they usually decide to buy an ATV in order to easily overcome almost impassable roads. And then options are already possible, because modern models are distinguished by endurance, thoughtful comfort, and maneuverability. They are adapted for various needs: transportation of household goods, fishing and hunting trips, long and distant travels and, of course, entertainment and sports competitions. nine0003
For all their merits, ATVs do not belong to the high-speed mode of transport. But given their key mission, they don’t need this, because indicators such as power, cross-country ability, and safety level are much more important. And yet, which model to choose if you want to be smarter? And in what cases is this parameter really relevant? Experts of the Sport-Extreme Motorcycle Center will tell about this.
Models of modern "ATVs" are designed to better meet certain operating tasks. The differences between the types of ATVs relate, among other things, to the speed parameters that motor vehicles are capable of developing. nine0003
The most versatile and therefore sought-after type of ATV, which is ideal for driving on country roads and off-road, forests, marshy and rough terrain, mud and sand, primer. The maximum developed speed of utilitarians reaches 75 km/h or more, but in most difficult areas you will not need more than 20-40 km/h. An excellent choice for those who spend the season in the country or prefer to go hunting, fishing, or on a motorcycle trip. nine0003
Utility vehicles are equipped with powerful engines, good suspension, and high ground clearance. For better grip on the road, such ATV equipment is equipped with deep-tread rubber, and the wheels themselves have wide tires. This allows you to provide the best possible grip on the ground, which is not stable outside the city.
Such models are designed for operation in a flat highway, and here it is quite possible to travel at a high speed compared to other types of quadrics. The possibilities of urban versions in this regard reach 80 - 95 km / h. And this is comparable to the cruising speed of a passenger car.
These speed capabilities are affected by a number of design and technical characteristics. In particular, highway motorcycles have low ground clearance, narrower tires and not as deep a tread as utility models, respectively, a completely different area of contact with the road surface. So when choosing such a model, it should be borne in mind that even light off-road conditions will be a test for it. nine0003
Such models are capable of accelerating up to 120 - 130 km / h (for example, Yamaha YFM 700 R / SE).
This is facilitated by the lightweight design of the device and compact dimensions, because this technique is designed to perform jumps and other tricks. The fuel tank is small compared to utility and road ATVs, and the engine is medium in volume, which allows you to give the equipment a short-term load for acceleration and leaving the springboard.
For the safety of young drivers on these models, the speedometer will not show more than 45 km/h. But this will be quite enough to drive through the fields and rural roads, forest parks and spacious courtyards with comfort, pleasure and for the benefit of the peace of mind of parents, naturally, away from the roadway and under the supervision of adults.
In addition, many models are equipped with a remote engine shutdown system. Children's models are designed for the age of 6 - 12 years and are able to withstand a child or teenager weighing, as a rule, up to 55 kg. nine0003
