Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2006 Raleigh Mojave 5.0 and 2008 Raleigh Mojave 5.0.
- Gearing
2008 Raleigh Mojave 5.0 has a 6% lower climbing ratio than 2006 Raleigh Mojave 5.0.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Equipment
2008 Raleigh Mojave 5.0 has 25 mm more front travel than 2006 Raleigh Mojave 5.0 in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
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.
