Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2006 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ and 2009 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ.
- Data limitation
Only 2009 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ has enough published drivetrain data for gearing calculations.
- Equipment
2006 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ has 20 mm more front travel than 2009 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.
Gearing unavailable for this size.
Ratio2.14:1
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
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.
