• Bicycle versus FERRARI...
On November 7th of 2014, on the famous Circuit Paul Ricard located at Le Castellet in South of France, François Gissy has reached an incredible speed of 333 km/h on the rocket-propelled bicycle designed by his friend Arnold Neracher. More than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped bicycle, this is amazing, and crazy! Who thought that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds?
Data of the fastest run set on 7 November 2014:
Peak speed: 333 km/h (207 mph) attained after around 250 meters
Design: Arnold Neracher
Rider: François Gissy

And all people, friends and family members who have helped us.
I'm impressed that he could stay on the bike at that speed. The air-flow pressure would be tremendous...
Yes the Ferrari weighs more then the bike.. But if you consider the weight of this guys balls.. I would say it is about even!
nice
they guy do have balls
*****
you should use those scales the drug users use. the can measure stuff down to the nanogram
***** Your balls size depends on what you do.
So fucking true! You deserve an Internet +Changetip
I don't care how it"s classified - 200mph on those wheels is totally insane!
Respect to the man.
Yeah its crazy how he controls himself on that thing
If the guy farts, the record would be 334 km/h
+Lam rof unless he eats a lot of taco bell
how do u know he didn't? maybe it was 332 km/h
That'd be François Gassy
Hahahahahah
If you crash on this bike at full speed they'll be finding your body parts in Russia.
hahahahahhahaja
i live in russland :-0
Collins Karanja auf englisch heisst es russia nicht Russland
He did crash and died today actually. RIP.
The future has proved you right ..
WHAR KIND OF TIRES DID HE USE THAT DONT SPLIT APART AT THOSE SPEEDS?
+Rondo Schiavoni hubs as well
ONLY FLAT ON THE BOTTOM EHH
Old ones that are trimmed with a bread knife and have black shoe polish in the age cracks. Good for 300mph.
Michelin Pilotsport4s
@@machrider2333 the same kinda shit as in the movie "Worlds fastest Indian". The fastest land speed record on a bike at the time I believe. I just remember people saying he wasnt allowed to.run his tires because they looked dangerous. I feel like they are the same kinda deal.
Surprised those bike wheels can take that speed!
My thought as well. Where the hell do you get bike tires rated for 200+ mph?
Fully concur ... Something is indeed AMISS 🤔 Even solid belted tires would split apart or fly off the rim 😎
Its not about the wheels its about the weight more weight more pressure on tires you know
As a a retired road racer and motorcycle journalist (currently riding road bikes / mountain bikes) I find it fascinating how the design of powered single-track vehicles has evolved in a more or less circular fashion.
First, the motor-bicycle, which was a piddly little water pump type of engine, fitted within the frame of a bicycle. Then, as engines got bigger, design evolved into massive frames, fat tires and longer dimensions to accommodate higher speeds.
Now that electrics are being taken seriously for both bicycles and motorcycles, we see design aiming for efficiency, leanness and light weight (without sacrificing stability or strength).
Great admiration for the Francois Gissy team as revealed in this video: the engineering, execution and piloting were all spot on. Smooth and quick. Vive la France.
Man, just on that video, seeing the acceleration, you can almost feel it
207 mph on a rocket bike.
That's insane.
Impressive.
Now I want to see the cornering half of the competition.
TheRoninkai Since when is any form of dragracing about cornering abilities?
I'm sure he was just being facetious.
VLecsmery
: Be critical about the lack of cornering ability for street vehicles? Since when does humor need your approval?
This however is not funny:
Once a "built" Nova passed me on a freeway on-ramp. He was doing at least 110+, I was cruising at sixty when he flew by. I could see him try to turn his wheels to take the bend that merged onto the freeway. He went straight across the curb over the median flipped on his side across three lanes of high speed freeway traffic. Then he got hit by three cars on the exposed underside of the Nova. I pulled over and called the CHP, there were some bad injuries.
Cornering ability is more important than speed alone.
(1999 Civic Si, Jackson Super Charger-211+ Hp at the wheels-and it corners like a dream)
That is scary. All it takes is one little loss of control and it's game over on that bike, it would be a world record for how many flips you did falling off that bike torn into pieces.
+Fist Hokuto You can survive a 300 kph motorcycle crash unharmed if you just slide across the street in a very vey expensive high tech kevlar leather suit: watch?v=jIGDa0qLrYE (250 kph)

+extraTRAPestrial ! There is something very friendly backing up this guy, its called angular momentum and it will make sure to make it very hard to fall at such speed
He died 3 or 4 Days ago
This is super cool but doesn't deserve consideration as a "bicycle."
"A bicycle, often called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. A bicycle rider is called a cyclist, or bicyclist."
What would you call it then? It's obviously not a motorcycle considering the lack of a "motor".
Jonah Webster a really good point, but a rocket IS a motor......... but it is attached to a bicycle frame......... hmm, difficult one that...........
Peter Graham RATO Cycle (Rocket Assisted Take Off)
Jonah Webster Engine not motor...
Robert Boyd+1 on you friend
next time put a ramp and add ejector wings
François Gissy hits 333 km/h and a new world record on a rocket bike..!
It's cool but there is a problem. The bike may have started life as a bicycle, but as soon as you add an engine of any sort, (yes, a rocket is still an engine), it becomes a motorbike, and it definitely is not the worlds fastest motorbike neither is it the fastest accelerating motorbike.
There's no motor. It's a rocket, dumbass.
Total idiocy. Do you think an engine and a motor are different things? A rocket IS an engine, just like a petrol internal combustion engine or a jet engine, they are all engines. 'Rocket Engine'. So adding one to a bike makes the bike a motorbike. Motor and engine both have the same meanings, they are both the same things even though technically a motor is an electric thing where as an engine uses fuel.
I was thinking the same thing. This isn't a world record. In fact, the first motorcycles / motorbikes were designed from bicycles, so essentially, yeah, this isn't a world record.

Y.O.L.O.
ui
this is not a Bicycle.. it's a Rocketcycle! it remember me beep beep the Road Runner cartoon!
THIS IS NOT REALLY A BICYCLE RECORD AS IT'S POWERED, NOT PEDALED. IF IT'S TWO WHEELS AND NOT HUMAN POWERED IT'S A "MOTORCYCLE"...
I think they are calling it for a bicycle because it is originally a bicycle with just some thrusters attached to it
It's more of a moped on steroids.
not true because it doesn't have a motor it's no a MOTORcycle
nicolas martinez a rocket is a motor
Brad Leonard no that's compressed gas not a fuel rocket
apples do not equal oranges sorry
The ambulance and police car are even faster than the ferrari..
or just eat alot taco bell, it would have the same effect
+Gangstabob716 Earler tests with tacos resulted in unpredictable outcomes with smelly sideeffects. The use of rockets put the rider in a more controlled environment, which ended up being a lot safer for him.
+Gangstabob716 Not funny at all. Go Bills.
is that why you lost to us?

1:48 I like how that van just out ran an Audi RS-6
I did notice that!!! But I laughed out even louder when I found that there is another one like me!!!
Watch that Top gear episode when they fit a super car engine onto a ford transit van and forgot to tell Hammond. I have a feeling they did that too here :D I think it was the episode with UK top gear vs Australia top gear
damn. it makes the ferrari looks like corolla.
Tell me about it , he should try buggati next
420 blazing
the buggati would fail too, it's only fast at top speed. He needs to race a 1200+ HP Drag/Funny car.
TheG33k3d You can´t compare a car that weight 2,5 ton and bicycle that´s only 50/100 kg with rocket machine, it is like firing a bullet hehe,
Does he pedal this at any point? No? It's purely powered by a rocket? Hmmm. A rocket is a motor. Therefore, this isn't a bike. It's a motorcycle.
Do you think you courageously playing with words when he is riding this machine ?
That's some excellent mental gymnastics you performed there Stephane. You must be exhausted.
It has to be able to pedal to be classified as a bike and if you look it has pedals, sprockets and chain
Have to agree. By definition bicycle is human powered vehicle and in UCI sanctioned events bicycle has to be build on standard "diamond frame" having minimum mass of 6.9kg and has to be powered solely by rider. So, this is not a bicycle.
Good luck in explaining that to morons around here.
Yes it's faster than a Ferrari....imagine that, a literal rocket strapped onto a bicycle is faster than a Ferrari. Next you'll be surprised that a bullet travelling out of gun is faster than a Ferrari.
well said... O_o
Bullets are faster than Ferraris?!? WTF! Bullets cost like 25¢ ! Who the f*ck would buy a crap Ferrari when you could buy a bullet for cheaper!!!
I know right? You can kill more people AND save money! Just imagine the value!
In all seriousness, yeah, anyone who has taken a physics course should understand F=ma and how it applies here.
"Yes the Ferrari weighs more then the bike.. But if you consider the weight of this guys balls.. I would say it is about even!"
Suvant S Don't copy other comments
Passed away this weekend following an accident R.I.P.
I want to see more races against super duper fast cars 🤔 my mind is blown away right now 🤯
Lance Armstrong can pedal it faster.
***** He can still pedal faster that that!
***** Unpleasant side effects?

Even if he did cheat it was still spectacular
***** I see your point. Lance was not as good at cheating as those he beat. The medals are awarded to cheaters that don't get caught. Lance will have to be satisfied with just being the best.
***** The man with one nut boosted his testosterone. Sounds like fair play to me.
This was quite remarkable speed i`d say for a bicycle, I however have one doubt (I`m not very sure about the material of the tyres) but do they sustain that much thermal friction !!!... anyways great stuff (Y)
When you decide to become a superhero
racing an 7-8 second drag car would of been more interesting
+geoff RU kidding, this is just batshit insane, which of course makes it interesting
Would be awesome to see it race against the Top Fuel Dragster or a Top Fuel Funny Car not a fucking Ferrari LOL
MDDeGrande1994
I agree. Ferrari really is an overrated car. I mean so they look good and have a
different engine noise, but hell , a Nissan GTR
will leave this Ferrari in the dust, for about 1/4 the price. Ferrrari's are also very difficult to work on, a car for the rich and ignorant only.
rbagel55 it says in the description it runs a 6-7 quarter mile.
Explain the life preserving aspects of this bike.

This guy must be a full blown lunatic, or just iloves the sensation of speed so much
that he is willing to risk his life in the pursuit of it. Balls of Steel though !
Я тоже хочу себе такое велосипед:))
Amazing . I use to ride my bike at 20km/h . This is incredible !
Definitely the safest way to travel. 4000hp bicycle with a total weight of 7 ounces and a power to weight ratio of 97 gigtons per ounce that’s how you engineer an efficient vehicle. Point A to point B teleport
1:54 he should continue paddling until he completes the entire circuit...
the ambulance was faster than the ferrar
Imagine how much better if everyone in big cities used on of these instead of their cars! No more traffic jams ever!
Watching this 7 years later and it broke my heart hearing that he died 5 years ago.
This is not a bike, this in fact a crotch rocket!
All that money spent on a Ferrari to get your ass kicked by a bicycle.

This is technically a motorized bicycle because if you look it does have functional pedals, even though they aren't used now they are usable and not every two wheeled motorized vehicle is a motorcycle. You're forgetting mopeds, scooters, and motorized bicycles.
Brave man.. it takes some balls to drive this insane bicycle
Imagine this in drag race tournament😅

He could do Tour de France in 29 minutes at this speed :)

But seriously though, a helmet is vitally important. The wind would be painful, cause a terrible hair day, and prevent you from seeing clearly (to steer the bike). Also, a safety helmet would definitely help if something went wrong during the slower portions of the trip, and could help even if high speeds if you get lucky. I mean, people have survived race car crashes after all.
you wouldn't think it would be possible for a bike to remain that stable at such speed. Cars would usually wheelie, you would think a bike would fly of or something
Amazing ! Please tell me how you managed to hold on for dear life ? You on your bike is, literally like grabbing on an F-18s wing during a carrier launch . How the fuck did you hold on and not loose grip BRO ? ? ?
THAT WAS VERY GOOD, BUT IT WAS NOT A BICYCLE . AND IT WAS NOT A PERSON PEDDLING A BICYCLE AT 200 M.P.H. EITHER. , OR COASTING DOWN A HILL.
THAT WAS A ROCKET. WITH WHEELS ATTACHED TO IT. AND A GUY SITTING ON TOP OF THE ROCKET.
OR ,, IF ANYTHING , IT WAS A ROCKET PROPELLED MOTORCYCLE BASICALLY. , BECAUSE I AM SURE IT WAS GREATLY REINFORCED IN EVERY WAY. , AND I AM GUESSING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ROCKET PROPELLED MOTORCYCLES BEFORE.
BUT IT WAS STILL PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. , I AM SURE THERE IS A TREMEMDOUS AMOUNT OF FORCE ON THE HANDLE BARS AT THAT SPEED . , AND IT IS PROBABLY DIFFICULT TO HOLD IT STEADY AND STABLE AT THOSE SPEEDS.
AND THAT WOULD MAKE IT VERY DANGEROUS.
SO YES. THIS WAS VERY GOOD. AND IMPRESSIVE. AS I ALREADY MENTIONED.
I CAN NOT TELL FOR CERTAIN,, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY WELDED OR FIXED THE HANDLE BARS IN A SOLID FIXED POSITION.
THAT RACE COURSE LOOKED PRETTY STRAIGHT TO ME , IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN MAKING THOSE SLIGHT TURNS HE MADE JUST SIMPLY BY LEANING.
I NEVER DID SEE THE HANDLE BARS AND FRONT WHEEL TURNED IN ANY OF THE FOOTAGE OR PHOTOGRAPHS , SO I JUST CAN NOT TELL FOR SURE.
BUT STILL THIS WAS VERY GOOD AND IMPRESSIVE = I HAVE SAID 3 TIMES NOW. , I HAVE TO BLATANTLY POINT THIS OUT , BECAUSE SOME *STUPID! JACKLEGGED!! JACKASS OF A LOSER!!!, SHITFUCK IDIOT!!!!* IS GOING TO GET HIS UNDERWEAR IN A WAD! ...
AND HIS *STUPID WORTHLESS WEAK LITTLE GENITALS* ARE GOING TO START TWITCHING!!...
AND HE IS GOING TO JUMP ALL OVER ME AND MY COMMENT!!!...
JUST BECAUSE OF THE THINGS I SAID ABOUT THIS STUPID VIDEO.

Didn't read your bitchy story, but dude, turn your fucking caps off little shithead

***** When I think about +200 MPH....and that sissy bar...ouch...
***** you are rather an idiot - bicycle is powered by human force - not external. So, it could be a motorcycle rather than a bicycle...crazy people
Soon to be on the Christmas wish list of kids wanting to ditch bullies.
im still puzzled by this accomplishment. there was absolutely no lift of the front end of the bike, with that thrust to weight ratio it should have jerked him back due to accelerating so fast
I think the secret lies in his haircut! He has a bowl-mullet-bald head!
So many nopes in one haircut!

Real MVP here are the tires. Was it custom made?
It's jet powered, so not much traction is needed. The only thing the tires need to do is not balloon or disintegrate. Belted tires should help there.
François: "What's the retail on one of those?"
Ferrari Driver: "More than you can afford pal. Ferrari."
Me: [saying to meself] Smoke him!
LITERALLY SMOKED HIM!

Probably the fastest bike with the worst editing job ever.
WOW very impressive ride Young Man
Unfortunately, he died this morning during a test.
Rip François May 5th, 2018 in Munchhouse, France
Never thought standard bicycle tires could sustain that speed without breaking apart... something isn’t right here.
well, the thing is that the tires were specially designed by Michelin, for this bike.
There is nothing wrong, you just have to think a little bit and you were on the track, too bad your thinking turned into a conspiracy theory.
Anyway, this man is dead. He had developed a trike balancing 70 bar of pressure, he was aiming at 400 Km/h. He left his trajectory, he died on the spot, in 2018.
End of the story
But he was taking real risks, he was not an American wimp.

Guy Martin holds this record. 112mph on a real bicycle, with no engine. Episode 1 of Speed with Guy Martin (Series / Season 1 btw)
Any practical use of this bike ??
They declared the Ferrari the winner because the bicyclist failed to use the proper hand signal when slowing down...the much slower Ferrari had his own type of hand signal!
he should have put a few cards on the spokes of the wheels
well done, 207 mph on a bike, balls of steel !
Beyond BAD ASS!!!!!
Technically speaking, he's lucky to be alive.
That's not even a bicycle, that's a freakin' rocket!
how did those wheels maintain traction o.o
This is just amazing!

R.I.P François Gissy
there are so many impressive people that happen to be frrench so I'm wondering why everyone hates on them so much
I must wear headphones so as to not bother others with noise so I really feel it when a particular video blasts my ear drums! For what ever reason, the default volume setting in my youtube channel is full loud so I always set my master volume pretty low. In spite of that, this video blasted my eardrums sooooo loud that it hurt!! Kind of ruins the experience of watching for me!
What kind of tires does this thing have? I would think that they would have to be specially designed not to fly apart at such high centrifugal forces.
how does one break at such speeds, or did he have to ust coast till the next town, i think the mail men in some parts of Australia need these bikes.
Jeez, it's so risky, imagine falling from that thing at that speed.
@privettoli
The guy died doing this at a very young age in 2018. It had to happen eventually.
Gosh... On a Bicycle , with Bicycle tires..Thats like Sooo Insane..."But I Loved It !"

They should have got Lapchick to ride this. He's MAD!
oh god, imagine falling off at that speed..... instant game over.
JEEZOOO....I've seen this before but it never gets old. If I was him I would definitely TAKE THAT CHAIN OFF..... esp when doing passes like this. If that freewheel decides to Grenade it could get really ugly with a locked up back wheel at 200+ Mph. Know what I mean? and maybe some real BRAKES ?? No matter...this guy is having some serious fun.
It takes balls of steal and diamonds combined to ride this!
all I know is that guy is smooth expert rider and crazy as hell
Don't forget the bicycle clips...!!
Video needs a shot of the bicycle from the perspective of the car seat. That would be hilarious.
