How many miles do bikes usually last?

For small sports bikes, 20,000 to 30,000 is on the high side. For larger bikes, 50,000 miles and up is considered high motorcycle mileage. But before you write off any models, consider that a properly maintained bike can last well past 100,000 miles!

How long do bike gears last?

Expect between 1,500 and 3,000 miles from a 10-speed chain. It helps to establish what counts as ‘worn out’. A chain is worn enough to affect transmission efficiency when it lengthens by 0.75\% but has some life left if extended mileage is the aim, in which case it should ideally be replaced when it lengthens by 1\%.

Do bikes last longer than cars?

The simple truth is that motorcycles generally don’t last as long as cars do, and there are many reasons why that’s true.

How often should I change my chain?

To avoid this accelerated wear of your cassette and chainrings, a general rule of thumb is to replace your bike’s chain every 2,000 miles. Mind you, this is just a starting point. No two chains will wear at exactly the same rate because no two riders treat their chains the same.
