Key differences

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

  1. Data limitation

    No geometry is recorded for 2013 Kona Cadabra and 2012 Kona Cadabra.

  2. Gearing

    2012 Kona Cadabra has a 8% lower climbing ratio than 2013 Kona Cadabra.

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

  3. Equipment

    2013 Kona Cadabra has 10 mm more front travel than 2012 Kona Cadabra in the selected sizes.

    Front travel is fork suspension stroke, not rear-wheel travel.

Gearing comparison

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

2013 Kona Cadabra38/26T · 11–36T
Lowest0.72:1Highest3.45:1Total range478%

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

2012 Kona Cadabra42/32/24T · 11–36T · 10-speed
Lowest0.67:1Highest3.82:1Total range573%

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.
