Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2009 Marin Ignacio and 2012 Marin Ignacio.
- Gearing
2012 Marin Ignacio has a 14% lower climbing ratio than 2009 Marin Ignacio.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Identity & price
2012 Marin Ignacio had an original MSRP $250 lower than 2009 Marin Ignacio.
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.
Ratio3.00:1
Estimated speed at 90 RPMGear
Uses front tire 700C×28; rear size isn’t listed.
Ratio2.59:1
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.
