Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2007 Marin Corte Madera and 2006 Marin Corte Madera.

  2. Gearing

    2007 Marin Corte Madera has a 22% lower climbing ratio than 2006 Marin Corte Madera.

    Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

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.
