Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2010 BH Cristal Ultegra and 2012 BH Cristal Ultegra.

  2. Gearing

    2012 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.

  3. Identity & price

    2010 BH Cristal Ultegra had an original MSRP $501 lower than 2012 BH Cristal Ultegra.

    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.

2012 BH Cristal Ultegra50/34T · 11–28T · 10-speed
Lowest1.21:1Highest4.55:1Total range374%

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.
