  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2010 Kona Major Jake and 2012 Kona Major Jake.

  2. Gearing

    2012 Kona Major Jake has a 11% lower climbing ratio than 2010 Kona Major Jake.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

Gearing comparison

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.
