Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2009 Diamondback Lux and 2012 Diamondback Lux.

  2. Gearing

    2009 Diamondback Lux has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 2012 Diamondback Lux.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

  3. Equipment

    2012 Diamondback Lux has 10 mm more front travel than 2009 Diamondback Lux in the selected sizes.

    Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

2012 Diamondback Lux42/32/22T · 12–28T · 7-speed
Lowest0.79:1Highest3.50:1Total range445%

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.
