I just had a conversation with a Rivian Customer Rep about the top speed for the R1 gen 2. The following is from the confirmation email I received on this subject.
What he said was that Ascend vehicles (tri max and quad max) can attain a 130 mph top speed DURING LAUNCH MODE. In ANY OTHER MODES, it can only go 110 mph. For the Rivian Gen 2 Ascend owners out there, this means you can only achieve the 130 mph top speed in drag races from a standstill with Launch mode activated. I questioned him multiple times but this is the confirmation email he sent me. I know on the Quad Max gen 2 that Gardner Nichols raced in Pikes Peak Hill Climb and in videos prior to the race he definitely mentioned speeds above 110 mph at times and often enough.
Hi Loc,
Hope that you are having an amazing day so far!
I am reaching out to you to provide written confirmation regarding the question for the top speed.
You can find the information below:
Adventure and Ascend vehicles will reach a top speed of 110 mph
When in Launch Mode, Ascend vehicles can achieve a top speed of 130 mph
If there is anything else I can assist with, please do not hesitate and let me know.
Your fellow adventurer,
