Key differences

- Data limitation

- Gearing
2011 BH Cristal Ultegra has a 7% lower climbing ratio than 2010 BH Cristal Ultegra.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

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.
