Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Gearing

    1995 Barracuda A2T has a 16% lower climbing ratio than 1993 Barracuda A2T.

    A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.

  2. Identity & price

    1995 Barracuda A2T had an original MSRP $450 lower than 1993 Barracuda A2T.

    Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.

Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear5.5 mphHighest gear26.8 mph

Rear tire: 26×2.1.

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.
