How it works

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.

Historical specifications are presented as an archival reference. Components may have varied by market, size, or production run. Legacy reference geometry is model-level historical data whose corresponding frame size is not identified; compare those dimensions as reference values rather than size-normalized fit data.
