Rival 3 is 51 kph on flat ground. However, you can get some additional speed by moving both forward and strafing in a direction, yielding a top speed on flat ground of 56 kph. Moving this way you're kind of like a crab. Crab-MAXs, and now Crab-Mags. Rival 3 also improves strafe acceleration, which is harder to see from just the numbers of top strafe speed.

Mag-burner can also help with both acceleration issues and top speed, albeit for brief periods of time. Needs heavy cert investment to have it available often (20s full recharge @ max level).
