- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2012 GT Karakoram 2.0 and 2013 GT Karakoram 2.0.
Gearing comparison

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.
