I am fairly new to peloton but I tried a maximum sprint for fun and the cadence seems to get stuck on 199. Is my machine faulty or are they supposed to stop there? I know it is not sensible training but just wanted to see what I could get it to.

I'm not sure if I can surpass 199 but now I'll need to give it a shot! That's a super high cadence!

If I am right you could equal it but not surpass it as I don't think it will register higher than that no matter how quick you go

I don't know the answer to your question but you have very fast twitch muscles. Amazing. Try track sprinting!

That's an extraordinary high cadence, I doubt even pro cyclists could match that. I struggle to surpass 115.

I've gotten over 150 cadence on several "tests" but haven't tried in a while

 

[PedalStomper]

Peloton recommends to never exceed 120 cadence, so I have never attempted to go over it. Another reason is that I don't like the feeling of the pedals moving my feet as opposed to the other way round, and when going at high cadence with low resistance, that is the feeling I get.

I've also gone to 199 cadence. It's definitely the max for the display. Pro cyclists definitely could get there, and might in short sprint races, but it's super inefficient for long races so they wouldn't get even try.
