Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2000 Scorpio AL-400X and 1996 Scorpio AL-400X.

  2. Gearing

    2000 Scorpio AL-400X has a 12% lower climbing ratio than 1996 Scorpio AL-400X.

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

  3. Identity & price

    2000 Scorpio AL-400X had an original MSRP $249 lower than 1996 Scorpio AL-400X.

    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.

2000 Scorpio AL-400X42/32/22T · 11–32T · 9-speed
Lowest0.69:1Highest3.82:1Total range555%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear4.8 mphHighest gear26.5 mph

Uses front tire 26×1.95; rear size isn’t listed.

1996 Scorpio AL-400X42/34/22T · 11–28T · 7-speed
Lowest0.79:1Highest3.82:1Total range486%
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.
