Key differences
Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.
- Data limitation
No geometry is recorded for 2014 Raleigh Militis 3 and 2012 Raleigh Militis 3.
- Gearing
2014 Raleigh Militis 3 has a 14% lower climbing ratio than 2012 Raleigh Militis 3.
A lower ratio gives more mechanical advantage; rear-wheel rollout determines distance per crank turn.
- Identity & price
2014 Raleigh Militis 3 had an original MSRP $1,000 lower than 2012 Raleigh Militis 3.
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 = pedal turns per minute.
Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.
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.
Historical specifications are presented as an archival reference. Components may have varied by market, size, or production run.
