Too Afraid to Ask

Revs are how we measure how fast the engine is working. The higher the number, the faster the engine is spinning.

Technical Definition

'Revs' refers to the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the engine, indicating how fast the engine is running. Higher revs usually mean more power but can also lead to engine wear.
