Key differences

Only 1993 Ross Mt. McKinley has enough published drivetrain data for gearing calculations.
- Identity & price
1993 Ross Mt. McKinley had an original MSRP $301 lower than 1994 Ross Mt. McKinley.

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.

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.
