Originally Answered: Is a fixie faster than a single-speed freewheel? There’s absolutely no difference between a fixed-gear and a freewheel-equipped single-speed bike. When you’re pedalling a freewheel bike, there’s no relative motion between the sprocket and wheel- just as a fixed gear.

Are fixies faster than single speed?

What is a good average speed on a fixie?

For flat places, a ratio of 2.6 to 3.0 is ideal for most people. The lower value of this range, with a cadence of 90 rpm, will allow us to ride around 30km/h, while the upper, 34km/h. If you’re just starting out on your adventure on a single speed or fixed gear bike, a gear ratio of around 2.7-2.8 will be ideal.
