Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2010 Brodie Knack and 2008 Brodie Knack.
- Equipment
2010 Brodie Knack has 30 mm more front travel than 2008 Brodie Knack in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
- Identity & price
2008 Brodie Knack had an original MSRP $100 lower than 2010 Brodie Knack.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

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.
