Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2012 GT Sanction 1.0 and 2011 GT Sanction 1.0.
- Data limitation
Only 2011 GT Sanction 1.0 has enough published drivetrain data for gearing calculations.
- Equipment
2011 GT Sanction 1.0 has 60 mm more front travel than 2012 GT Sanction 1.0 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.
Gearing unavailable for this size.

Uses front tire 26×2.35; 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.
