How fast does the X2000 train go?
Top commercial speed, design speed and what the tilting system does.
Short answer
The X2000 has a top commercial speed of 200 km/h, and Interrail says SJ's tilting high-speed trains run at up to 200 kilometres per hour. According to Wikipedia the train entered service in 1990, has a design speed of 210 km/h and reached 276 km/h in tests.
Why
- Interrail says the unique tilting system enables SJ's modern high-speed trains to travel at speeds of up to 200 kilometres per hour.
- According to Wikipedia, the X2000 has a top commercial speed of 200 km/h, and its design speed is 210 km/h.
- SJ said in November 2021 that its rebuilt X 2000 keeps the original steel chassis and tilt system, which helps the train on curvy track.

What may differ
