Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2008 Jamis Kromo and 2009 Jamis Kromo.
- Data limitation
Only 2008 Jamis Kromo has enough published drivetrain data for gearing calculations.
- Equipment
2008 Jamis Kromo has 30 mm more front travel than 2009 Jamis Kromo in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
- Identity & price
2008 Jamis Kromo had an original MSRP $210 lower than 2009 Jamis Kromo.
Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.
Gearing comparison
Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.
RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.
Ratio2.00:1
Estimated speed at 90 RPMGear
Uses front tire 26×2.2; rear size isn’t listed.
Gearing unavailable for this size.
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.
