- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2005 KHS Alite 2000 and 2007 KHS Alite 2000.
Gearing comparison

How it works
Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.
Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
