Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2009 Kona Coilair Deluxe and 2008 Kona Coilair Deluxe.
- Gearing
2009 Kona Coilair Deluxe has a 8% lower climbing ratio than 2008 Kona Coilair Deluxe.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Identity & price
2008 Kona Coilair Deluxe had an original MSRP $1,200 lower than 2009 Kona Coilair Deluxe.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

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.
