Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2012 Felt AR3 and 2013 Felt AR3.
- Gearing
2013 Felt AR3 has a 8% lower climbing ratio than 2012 Felt AR3.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Identity & price
2013 Felt AR3 had an original MSRP $1,801 lower than 2012 Felt AR3.
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.
Lowest1.56:1Highest4.82:1Total range309%
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
Lowest1.44:1Highest4.73:1Total range328%
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.
