Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2012 Kona Coilair and 2009 Kona Coilair.
- Data limitation
Only 2009 Kona Coilair has enough published drivetrain data for gearing calculations.
- Equipment
2012 Kona Coilair has 20 mm more front travel than 2009 Kona Coilair in the selected sizes.

Gearing unavailable for this size.

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.
