Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2006 Kona Stinky Primo and 2003 Kona Stinky Primo.

  2. Gearing

    2003 Kona Stinky Primo has a 15% lower climbing ratio than 2006 Kona Stinky Primo.

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

  3. Identity & price

    2003 Kona Stinky Primo had an original MSRP $1,500 lower than 2006 Kona Stinky Primo.

    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.

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.
