Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2005 Scott Scale 10 and 2008 Scott Scale 10.

  2. Gearing

    2005 Scott Scale 10 has a 6% lower climbing ratio than 2008 Scott Scale 10.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

  3. Equipment

    2008 Scott Scale 10 has 20 mm more front travel than 2005 Scott Scale 10 in the selected sizes.

    Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.

  4. Identity & price

    2005 Scott Scale 10 had an original MSRP $380 lower than 2008 Scott Scale 10.

    Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

Lowest0.65:1Highest3.67:1Total range567%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear4.5 mphHighest gear25.5 mph

Uses front tire 26×2; rear size isn’t listed.

2008 Scott Scale 1044/32/22T · 11–32T · 9-speed
Lowest0.69:1Highest4.00:1Total range582%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear4.9 mphHighest gear28.4 mph

Uses front tire 26×2.25; rear size isn’t listed.

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.
