Bonneville - fastest Lambretta with bgm PRO SPORT 180km/h tires on record hunt

Chasing records on the salt track with the Lambretta

Our customer Todd Rogers from the USA set off on his 225 Lambretta to go record hunting in Bonneville.

Do you remember the movie "with heart and hand" with Anthony Hopkins? Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins) travels to Bonneville with his Indian Scout to take part in the annual high-speed race on the salt lakes in Utah. One of my favorite movies, below you can find a teaser for the movie.

So our customer Todd Rogers has made his way to Utah with his Lambretta to the World of Speed. Here in Bonneville he wants to set a record with his Lambretta on the salt track.

The right tires

During the preparations for the record attempt, there were problems with the tires. Todd had previously ridden tires with a "P" approval on his Lambretta. However, P only corresponds to 93 mph or 150 km/h and with these tires he would not have received approval for an official record attempt at over 100 mph.

The choice of the perfect tire was then relatively easy, after all, our bgm PRO SPORT tiresare the only tires in the size 10 x 3.50 with an approval of 180km/h or 112 mph! In addition, Todd did not want to expose himself to any risk and therefore opted for the bgm PRO quality tires MADE IN GERMANY.

The 100mph record in Bonneville with the Lambretta

Todd rode his 225 Lambretta (not a Streamliner!!) to a very impressive 100.4203 mph, which equates to around 162km/h. Todd now holds the record for the fastest Lambretta in Bonneville!
