To ensure better stability, a motorbike steering shock absorber was attached to the production bicycle. It mainly reduced rider's steering input and helped eliminated handlebar vibrations.

Cool as that is, 200km/h on a bike is nuts... world record whilst being towed? More dependent on the vehicle doing the towing than the bike or rider, sort of pointless no?

I have been pulled along by a car a few times(holding on one handed to the window) and when you get to about 60 km/hr the road starts feeling rought ans it can sorta get a bit scary so I think I'm safe to to say that 200 km/hr would be terrifying!

It would be nuts going 200km/h... That's one thing not to try!

Was a bit on them in the article

Gaspi opted for Defender, which he jointly designed and created with Czech company Rubena. “They are designed for slopestyle and dirt, but they nevertheless did a good job during the record attempt,” says Gaspi. They were not pumped with air, but with a special compound that does not expand and change pressure with rising temperature.
