⚠ Important: This tool provides estimates only. Results depend on the accuracy of your inputs and may vary with tyre condition, temperature, surface, wear, and rider weight. A physical rollback test is the definitive compliance check accepted by race commissaires. Always verify current federation limits before racing.

This site is run in good faith as a free resource. The limits are checked against each federation's published rules, but rules change during the season and mistakes are possible, so nothing here is a guarantee that a bike will pass inspection. No liability is accepted for equipment decisions or race results based on this tool. If a number looks wrong, email hello@youthgearing.co.uk and it will be checked against the source document.
