Key differences

- Identity & price
2004 Kona Coiler had an original MSRP $100 lower than 2006 Kona Coiler.

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.
