Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2012 Kona Cadabra and 2013 Kona Cadabra.
- Gearing
2012 Kona Cadabra has a 8% lower climbing ratio than 2013 Kona Cadabra.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Equipment
2013 Kona Cadabra has 10 mm more front travel than 2012 Kona Cadabra 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.
Lowest0.67:1Highest3.82:1Total range573%
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
Lowest0.72:1Highest3.45:1Total range478%
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.
