Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2008 Cervelo Soloist Team and 2004 Cervelo Soloist Team.
- Data limitation
Only 2004 Cervelo Soloist Team has enough published drivetrain data for gearing calculations.
- Identity & price
2008 Cervelo Soloist Team had an original MSRP $399 lower than 2004 Cervelo Soloist Team.
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.
Gearing unavailable for this size.
Lowest1.70:1Highest4.82:1Total range284%
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.
