Key differences

- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2013 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ and 2009 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ.
- Gearing
2009 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 2013 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Equipment
2013 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ has 20 mm more front travel than 2009 Rocky Mountain Flow DJ in the selected sizes.
Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.
Gearing comparison

RPM
RPM = pedal turns per minute.
Ratio2.43:1
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
Ratio2.14:1
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
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.
