Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation

- Identity & price
2002 Burley HepCat had an original MSRP $100 lower than 2003 Burley HepCat.

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.
