- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2008 Kona Zing and 2010 Kona Zing.
- Identity & price

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.
