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

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.“

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.

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.

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!

Perfect descent, perfect, awesome rider 💪💪

That overtake gave me an Ulcer! Mad Bike Skills!

Catching and passing cars is f’ing legendary!

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

Great ride and another banger as usual Safa!

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

breathtaking 😍

Spectacular! ⛰️ 🤙

I got goosebumps watching this video

Such a majestic road, this and Nivolet are my favourites

Amazing Safa - unreal views !!!

Have been waiting for such video for weeks

Watching this gave me the raw runs...

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

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

that's amazing ❤

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

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

Fantastic!

Amazing

Crazy Safa👌🏻

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

wow this is so crazy, what a thrill

My idol in cornering💯🔥

Man and machine in perfect harmony

That‘s amazing！

that's simply insane

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

That slow tractor was so in his way. He almost had to bump it over 😂

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

Rafa riding a desktop wallpaper ❤

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

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!

this is heaven for me

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

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 🐐

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

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

🦅 vibes

disc rubbing at the end, rim brake for the win

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 :(

10:39 was extra spicy!

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

awesome

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?

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

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

Nothing better to watch on the trainer. Much love ❤

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

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

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

Mate, that pass between the tractor 😮😮

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

lindo vídeo e boa sorte

💨

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

Brutal

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

Sweet

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.

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

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.

So many cars there!

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

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! 🤩

Omg !!!😮😮😮😮😮

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

Anyone know what kind of gearing he uses as he´s still pedaling at 70km/h? Im just curious

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

멋지네요!!

Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👌

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

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

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?

Was that your bottom bracket creaking at the beginning?

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

epic

wow super🤙♥️

Which camera is it

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?

The dream.

10:37 WOAH!

Amazing but crazy😅

👌🔥🔥🔥

tell me please how do you record sound? have any wind protection?

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

what the pression of tyres for this descent?

Wish i could ride with that speed bro 🫣🫣
