The Best Road I Have Ridden - Susten Pass (east) | Switzerland raw runs [#9]

The photography, the sustained speed, pushing through the corners - this is just great. I'm bookmarking this and I'll rewatch all the winter long, thanks SAFA!

That overtake between the tractor gave me spine chills. Heart rate was high through out the video. Sheer adrenaline. Awesome experience :)

As a Swiss, for me the Susten is the most beautiful pass to ride with the bike of the big ones (like Nufenen, Grimsel, Furka, Gotthard, etc.). Climbing from the western side (from Innertkirchen, very scenic) and descending to the east (like here to Wassen, great stretches to pick up speed as evident from this magnificent film by Brian) is the best option. On weekends the road is busy with tourist cars and motor bikes, but on week days it is usually very quite. The reason is that the Susten is not a main north-south route crossing the alps, but rather a west-east road connecting two not so populated regions. The modern road was build in WWII as a militarily strategic connection and there is an inscription near the top of the pass „In ernster Zeit dem Frieden geweiht." in „In serious times dedicated to peace.“

Great video, but I have to say the overtake was complete madness.

The scenery is just amazing

That overtake gave me an Ulcer!
Mad Bike Skills!

As someone who originates from the climbing community, hammering descents like this feels quite similar to free soloing. It rarely goes wrong but if it does, then that's that... And as with soloing, if it does go wrong, it does so for reasons that you cannot control (like a cow crossing the road). So I wish you luck.

I feel blessed to be able to experience this POV at high speed high HR that I will never be able to achieve. Ride on Safa!

The most exciting, captivating and reckless cycling video I’ve ever seen.

What a view! Superb descent! Loved the overtaking! 👌

Perfect descent, perfect, awesome rider 💪💪

Great ride and another banger as usual Safa!

Catching and passing cars is f’ing legendary!

What a pleasant bicycle ride ❤ awesomeness 👏✨✨✨✨✨✨🤩

Wow your videos are incredible. Im a huge fan and envious of your downhill adventures. Please be careful!😅😅😅😅

I love how you squeeze every km/h, maximum attack 😍🔥👏

Amazing Safa - unreal views !!!

Such a majestic road, this and Nivolet are my favourites

Absolute work on art, Safa. Just got a new monitor. Loving it on this thing.

breathtaking 😍

Spectacular! ⛰️ 🤙

I hope you had time to take in and enjoy the awesome scenery while staying safe cycling.

Have been waiting for such video for weeks

Rafa riding a desktop wallpaper ❤

My idol in cornering💯🔥

Crazy Safa👌🏻

Omfg.....my heart can't take it! Stay safe, men!

Fantastic!

I got goosebumps watching this video

Amazing

Watching this gave me the raw runs...

that's amazing ❤

Man and machine in perfect harmony

wow this is so crazy, what a thrill

the safas got 450k subs! 📈congrats. it's working!

that's simply insane

Awesome ride - congrats. Excellent filming too. Know this pass well - never seen this little traffic tho. Must have been Monday morning 8am 😜

That‘s amazing！

I'll bet that the guy driving the tractor didn't even notice SAFA as he passed in-between them 😂

insane…kudos as well to your cameraman…can’t drop the guy😉

I know the area very well. You've picked a good time, because in most cases you have to reckon with really dangerous motorcyclists coming towards you (on your side of the road). Good luck to you!

I dont this I'd ever have the cajones to split the van and the tractor like that, but I also dont have these chops 🐐

Thank you, I enjoyed the ride in my chair 😄

nice! i can momentarily get up to these speeds but being over 70 kph almost all the time is quite different. you must trust your cameraman a lot. the video is amazing

The views are incredible, the speed is insane, and your turns give me anxiety! Stay safe brother!

Camera work really gives the impression of speed. So immersive, sweaty palms just watching. I'm conflicted though as some overtakes were dodgy. That people carrier was moving about about in his lane a bit, good job he didn't come left when you did the overtake head on into the tractor. Stay safe 👌

Beast🤘 take care

this is heaven for me

10:39 was extra spicy!

😂😂😂 that van was movin boi, I wanna ride one of these bikes

disc rubbing at the end, rim brake for the win

🦅 vibes

awesome

Next time when your in Switzerland you should check the Pragel pass, its a tiny little Mountain Road with up to 18% inclines, 12Km 930m down

Yeh, that sound of the chain rubbing in 1:23 😵‍💫

Just came down to LA with the road bike to chase some of your videos, maybe over to Switzerland next.

So many cars there!

I was wondering what's the best POV for cycling and I need another rider :)
Great content!

Mate, that pass between the tractor 😮😮

Stunning ride, but you didn't hang round to see the views!

멋지네요!!

Wow, amazing skill and bravoure. But I condemn your on road behavior severely and politely. Other traffic users are made an involuntary participant in a dangerous situation because of your lack of adhering to basic traffic laws. Taking a risk with your own live does not mean you are allowed to endanger other people.

Muhteşem bir doğa manzarası ve cesur bir sürüş teşekkürler videolarını ilgiyle izliyorum

The dangerous driver of the blue Volkswagen strangely decided to stay in his own lane when he saw a tractor approaching. So it's only his own life he seems to give a hoot about.

Threadin the needle with that van and tractor. Van was kinda a dick though

Absolutely beautiful, and amazing how fast you can go down hill. But how do you not get speed wobbles at those speeds. Is it the wheel that keeps it straight because they're deep wheels and the wind makes them straighten out?

Nothing better to watch on the trainer. Much love ❤

You are The Man! Wow! Spectacular scenery and awesome descent.. I "Forced" also my wife to watch this one; especially that tractor passing.. 😬Crazy car driver, tried to have a collision with You just before tractor. Took so badly that cyclist is going to pass a car... Anyway huge descent! 🤩

That IS a nice road, otherwise flying into those tunnels at 45 mph would be pretty scary (maybe still is)!

lindo vídeo e boa sorte

looks beautiful, but as someone scared of heights I don't think I would dare go anywhere as fast as that

10:39 the timing of the overtake tells you a Lot about this riding "style"...
someone i know was involved in a cyclist's fatal accident and although they had zero fault, they've never been the same person afterwards :(

10:08, Berner, one of the most dangerous driver in the moutains :D

lmao - you should interview the drivers at the bottom. would be really cool to see some stationary shots that show the speed

Great ride once again ;) How is the foil ultimate vs your previous Addict RC pro (better everywhere) ?

Brutal

Amazing but crazy😅

I'd love to see your heartrate after that tractor fly through lol!!

10:37 WOAH!

rode gottard and Nufenen this year but have to go back for this one

Sweet

wow super🤙♥️

damn thats nice, what about clothing equipment , what are you using?

The dream.

Le croisement avec le tracteur, passe encore, mais celui du car postale dans une courbe sans aucune visibilité, c'est de la pure folie. On ne peut pas faire celà sur une route ouverte.

epic

Wish i could ride with that speed bro 🫣🫣

와.엄청.조마조마하면서 봤어요 따봉

10:35 is hilarious

MENTAL video. How do you get your speed data? (GPS or sensor?)

10:38 The Farmer was Praying for Speed I think !

Seemed like that minivan was trying to block him sometimes. Then he pulled to the right to invite Brian to overtake when a hazard was coming.
The latter not intentionally I think but it looked like it.

Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌

super

💨

Awesome pass.Hope we will see 100km/h again one day.Maybe in USA?🤔🤞🏻

10:38 Wouuu

Might have to take a trip to Switzerland.. How many miles is it?

Omg !!!😮😮😮😮😮

👌🔥🔥🔥
