Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2009 Scott Scale 20.

  2. Gearing

    2027 Scott Scale 20 has a 9% lower climbing ratio than 2009 Scott Scale 20.

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

  3. Identity & price

    2027 Scott Scale 20 had an original MSRP $2,400 lower than 2009 Scott Scale 20.

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

Selected-size geometry

Geometry overlay

Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.

Gearing comparison

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

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

Lowest0.63:1Highest3.20:1Total range510%

Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear4.9 mphHighest gear28.4 mph

Uses front tire 26×2.25; rear size isn’t listed.

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.
