Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2006 Raleigh Rush Hour and 2009 Raleigh Rush Hour.
- Identity & price
2006 Raleigh Rush Hour had an original MSRP $170 lower than 2009 Raleigh Rush Hour.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

Ratio2.88:1
Estimated speed at 90 RPMGear

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.
