The Insane Engineering Of A Land Speed Record Bike

This is Neil Campbell's custom-built bike, engineered with one goal in mind: to break the land speed world record and become the first bicycle to surpass 200mph. From its MASSIVE 90-tooth carbon chainring and dual-chain drivetrain to its motorbike forks and tyres, the engineering is unlike anything you've ever seen. We also take a look at the battle scars the bike still wears from a previous 175mph crash!
