Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2011 Diamondback RESPONSE and 2010 Diamondback Response.

  2. Gearing

    2010 Diamondback Response has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 2011 Diamondback RESPONSE.

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

  3. Equipment

    2010 Diamondback Response has 20 mm more front travel than 2011 Diamondback RESPONSE 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.

2011 Diamondback RESPONSE42/32/22T · 12–28T · 7-speed
Lowest0.79:1Highest3.50:1Total range445%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear5.5 mphHighest gear24.6 mph

Uses front tire 26×2.1; rear size isn’t listed.

2010 Diamondback Response42/32/22T · 11–32T · 8-speed
Lowest0.69:1Highest3.82:1Total range555%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear4.8 mphHighest gear26.8 mph

Uses front tire 26×2.1; rear size isn’t listed.

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.
