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

- Quite possibly my favorite descent ever ridden. It's not often you get to hold speeds this high for so long, and to do it through a gigantic valley dropping in from the clouds, quite unbelievable. A day to remember with Taylor Dawson sticking to my wheel like glue down the Susten.

![Furka Pass (west) - Switzerland raw runs [#4]](/img/n.gif)
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.“
That overtake between the tractor gave me spine chills. Heart rate was high through out the video. Sheer adrenaline. Awesome experience :)
That guy though he could stay in front of Safa... Little did he know...
I rode the valley behind him, along with others, this last summer. Doesn't take much miscalculation to end up under the wheels of an oncoming tractor. Not his best work there.😵
@@erickcarlson9245 None of this would be possible in India. Every day ride is very crazy already. I'm happy that every one is safe. Living on the edge can be forgiven when no one is hurt :)
@@erickcarlson9245 He looked in control to me
10:32 great scene
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!
Great video, but I have to say the overtake was complete madness.
overtake at 10:34 is so disrespectful, also the bus overtake. There are many disrespectful car drivers, but also some of us disrespectful bike drivers. Then you encounter some people in cars who make a gesture as if they want to run over you, and maybe cyclists like this are the reason. The video is very well filmed and all, but yeah
@@xosece what Volkswagen did was also annoying, either drive away or let bike pass, but he kept it that way
Very little difference between this and base jumping 😂 Hats off Safa. Fierce!!!!
@@greedycat4026 You know that they were over the speed limit, don't you? Why would the car drive faster than the speed limit just to let two wreckless riders pass?
The rules are for everyone, not only for cars.
@@njsfer to let them pass he should slower pace a bit for a sec (like cool guy on 9:48, not that he has to do that), not exceed the speed limit.. but just apply common sense =D and not be a bot (even following within rules).
So many things u can do staying with in the rules and still be annoying, i didn't say wagen was violating anything. And i don't think they are wreckless riders.
The scenery is just amazing
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.
usually with climbing though you are not puuting in danger other people unless there is heavy traffic on the mountain so that would be the biggest difference if u do stuff like this on public road you can harm others opposite to solloing on mountain
And good luck to the cow too.
А он и корову перепрыгне😂
Is someone forcing you to dice with death or do you have some control over your hobbies? It's very easy for a tyre to fail rapidly in various ways, especially when cornering, leaving you trying to steer on a bare wheel rim with milliseconds to go until you come a cropper.
problem is that, in contrast to free soloing, he endangers also other people with this reckless behaviour
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!
That overtake gave me an Ulcer!
Mad Bike Skills!
Perfect descent, perfect, awesome rider 💪💪
What a pleasant bicycle ride ❤ awesomeness 👏✨✨✨✨✨✨🤩
I hope you had time to take in and enjoy the awesome scenery while staying safe cycling.
Great ride and another banger as usual Safa!
The most exciting, captivating and reckless cycling video I’ve ever seen.
Wow your videos are incredible. Im a huge fan and envious of your downhill adventures. Please be careful!😅😅😅😅
Catching and passing cars is f’ing legendary!
Amazing Safa - unreal views !!!
Such a majestic road, this and Nivolet are my favourites
Not too many know Nivolet! :)
Absolute work on art, Safa. Just got a new monitor. Loving it on this thing.
What a view! Superb descent! Loved the overtaking! 👌
I love how you squeeze every km/h, maximum attack 😍🔥👏
I got goosebumps watching this video
wow this is so crazy, what a thrill
Watching this gave me the raw runs...
Have been waiting for such video for weeks
insane…kudos as well to your cameraman…can’t drop the guy😉
That‘s amazing！
Awesome ride - congrats. Excellent filming too. Know this pass well - never seen this little traffic tho. Must have been Monday morning 8am 😜
Fantastic!
Omfg.....my heart can't take it! Stay safe, men!
breathtaking 😍
Spectacular! ⛰️ 🤙
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 :(
Amazing
the safas got 450k subs! 📈congrats. it's working!
that's amazing ❤
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
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
that's simply insane
Crazy Safa👌🏻
My idol in cornering💯🔥
Man and machine in perfect harmony
Thank you, I enjoyed the ride in my chair 😄
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 🐐
The views are incredible, the speed is insane, and your turns give me anxiety! Stay safe brother!
😂😂😂 that van was movin boi, I wanna ride one of these bikes
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!
That slow tractor was so in his way. He almost had to bump it over 😂
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.
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 👌
Rafa riding a desktop wallpaper ❤
Just came down to LA with the road bike to chase some of your videos, maybe over to Switzerland next.
Stunning ride, but you didn't hang round to see the views!
lindo vídeo e boa sorte
So many cars there!
I'll bet that the guy driving the tractor didn't even notice SAFA as he passed in-between them 😂
Jesus 😱
that was a lucky one, usually tractors are quite wide :)
@@Sandman_TV SAFA is experienced being a bike messenger in NYC he's used to going thru tight situations 🔥
Over taking the bus on the corner looked worse. 11:59
he threw his hand up and yelled at him
Yeh, that sound of the chain rubbing in 1:23 😵💫
Beast🤘 take care
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?
Muhteşem bir doğa manzarası ve cesur bir sürüş teşekkürler videolarını ilgiyle izliyorum
rode gottard and Nufenen this year but have to go back for this one
Threadin the needle with that van and tractor. Van was kinda a dick though
Your favorite.
That IS a nice road, otherwise flying into those tunnels at 45 mph would be pretty scary (maybe still is)!
awesome
disc rubbing at the end, rim brake for the win
this is heaven for me
Great ride once again ;) How is the foil ultimate vs your previous Addict RC pro (better everywhere) ?
멋지네요!!
looks beautiful, but as someone scared of heights I don't think I would dare go anywhere as fast as that
10:39 was extra spicy!
Definitely!! Whew!
I'd love to see your heartrate after that tractor fly through lol!!
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! 🤩
I was wondering what's the best POV for cycling and I need another rider :)
Great content!
Mate, that pass between the tractor 😮😮
Gotta get them CZcams hits!
Nothing better to watch on the trainer. Much love ❤
👊
Anyone know what kind of gearing he uses as he´s still pedaling at 70km/h? Im just curious
10:08, Berner, one of the most dangerous driver in the moutains :D
10:38, risking your life because someone doesn't want to be overtaken
🦅 vibes
Amazing but crazy😅
damn thats nice, what about clothing equipment , what are you using?
When accelerating out of a hairpin and standing on the pedals, is the rhythmic mechanical noise the chain rubbing on the front derailleur? If so the frame must be flexing?
10:38 The Farmer was Praying for Speed I think !
MENTAL video. How do you get your speed data? (GPS or sensor?)
Might have to take a trip to Switzerland.. How many miles is it?
와.엄청.조마조마하면서 봤어요 따봉
Brutal
what the pression of tyres for this descent?
tell me please how do you record sound? have any wind protection?
lt is vrey beautiful.Cycling is very relaxing with this scenery.I hope l can find the same in china
Was that your bottom bracket creaking at the beginning?
That was his balls of steel clanking!
Sweet
wow super🤙♥️
The dream.
10:38 Leeroy Jenkins!!!!
I’m heading here in august and I’m aware of how perfect the surface is and how different it is to my mountains in Australia. What tyre pressure are you ruining for this?
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌
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.
Je suis d'accord que le dépassement était risqué mais on peut voir à 11:56 qu'il a de la visibilité sur la route, en regardant à droite du car postal.
Beautiful video, but @ 10:38 OMG!
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.

These guys don't care .It's s all them and their imaginary Tour de France trial.
Gasten zijn niet lekker.
🤓🤓🤓🤓
Co tak hałasuje w tym rowerze? Buczy i obciera. BTW ładna trasa.
Awesome pass.Hope we will see 100km/h again one day.Maybe in USA?🤔🤞🏻
Quite possible in Switzerland. Seems he had a headwind. Probably a good job lol! Pros regularly exceed 100 kph in the tour de suisse (closed roads!).
