Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation

- Identity & price
2004 GT I-Drive 3.0 had an original MSRP $701 lower than 2002 GT I-Drive 3.0.

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.
