  3. Gearing

    2011 Cannondale Quick 4 has a 7% lower climbing ratio than 2013 Cannondale Quick 4.

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.
