Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Identity & price
These bicycles are categorized differently: 2004 Kona Shred is Mountain; 2007 Kona Shred is BMX.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2004 Kona Shred and 2007 Kona Shred.
- Gearing
2004 Kona Shred has a 8% lower climbing ratio than 2007 Kona Shred.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

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.
