Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2012 GT Avalanche 2.0 and 2003 GT Avalanche 2.0.

  2. Gearing

    2012 GT Avalanche 2.0 has a 14% lower climbing ratio than 2003 GT Avalanche 2.0.

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

Gearing comparison

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

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

2012 GT Avalanche 2.044/32/22T · 11–34T · 9-speed
Lowest0.65:1Highest4.00:1Total range618%

Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.

2003 GT Avalanche 2.042/34/24T · 12–32T · 8-speed
Lowest0.75:1Highest3.50:1Total range467%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear5.2 mphHighest gear24.3 mph

Uses front tire 26×1.95; rear size isn’t listed.

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.
