@GeologistRob Yeah, it's tough to say.. your probably right. They knew the car had no chance with the same route so they made it a bit different to have that suspense at the finish line. You can get going pretty fast on stairs especially with a full suspension bike. I remember going down some on my hardtail and once you pick up enough speed it's like you skip across each step so it actually gets really smooth with more speed.
Nem sabia que tinham feito isto por cá..xD que orgulho ahah :) Lisbon is dificult to drive fast, so congratulations to the driver!;) I dit some places with my bikes!;) very cool but you have always people in the way :(
@GeologistRob Maybe the car took a route which had more flat. Lets say the bike can only travel 15mph on flat, but going downhill it can go 40mph. Although it's a slightly longer route it would take less time because he can go faster.
@kilbergalindo it isnt a Downhill bike. Ususally DH bikes are classed as having dual crown suspension, usually around 200mm or so (front and rear). this looks to have around 160/180mm and is only single crown. But the type of riding is urban DH your right there.
It was a reply to kx85riders comment. I'm a downhiller myself and I see tons of guys trying to ride dirt bikes, quads, trucks and all other trypes of "Offroad vehicles" And they can't even get down it without wrecking haha! All I was saying is mountain bikes are WAY faster at downhilling than anything else, that includes kx85's Lol
@lfcrule2 I heard from a friend that all the top gear races like this are done first and then they do extra filming later, but the cool jump could have been a coincidence
@kilbergalindo two mountainbike classes. Susspession (Frame spring mounted). Hardtail (Rigid Frame). You cant say for long distance is a downhillbike crap. For a fast, bumpy long/short distance is a Mountainbike the best what you become ;)
i dont know what bike he is riding in the video but it also isnt his world cup bike. well, since october 2008 he and his team ride bikes from the french brand commencial.
I ride dirt bikes too, a yz426 for that matter. But nothing that I know of goes faster downhill than a downhill bike. and a little kawi 85 certainly won't be able beat a car in an urban race..
Is a Downhill bike bro... Downhill bikes isnt good for a long distance in streets, i mean to travel to a place or take a ride to youre local park or the supermarket what ever... but this is different beacause is only down street like in a mountain. This downhill category is called Urban Downhill.
@Szabciu97 if thats what you think its like i guess you have never down because there is alot more skill and fitness involved than fr and tbh most sports
The Name of this Sport is Downtown or Urban Downhill ! Renault Clio is no match to a Driver and his Bike of Downtown ! =D 1:47 "Ai Credo!" He he he!... OMG so funny ! xD TOP GEAR in Lisbon, Portugal !
Gotta love seein' the cyclist beat the car--lots of drivers do stupid shit just because they can't stand to have a bike in front of them for even a minute.
@IIIISkuNkIIII Actually , it appears that 24 people , just didn't like the video . They could have been annoyed by the commentators voice , just straight out don't like the british people , or hell , maybe they do have a renault clio . Just please , for the sake of UA-cam , please stop searching random videos and commenting on the dislike bar , getting people to 'Thumbs up' your comment , isn't really that important at all .

It´s just so lovely to watch again and again a bike winning a car!

@lfcrule2 that's what I thought too. There's no way that the timing could have worked out that perfectly.
